TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

After many years of having a dry basement with no problems, this homeowner suddenly found themselves with two to four inches of water on their basement floor after some heavy rainfall. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got to work right away to keep this basement safe from flooding in the future. As soon as our crew arrived at the home, their first objective was to excavate a trench into the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. This allowed for our WaterGuard piping system and a new SuperSump sump pump to be installed in the floor of the basement. Once covered by a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard piping will capture any leaking moisture in the future and guide it to the SuperSump before it has the chance to accumulate on the surface of the floor. The water will then exit the basement through the discharge line coming from the sump. This line, protected by an IceGuard pipe segment, will carry the water a distance from the home before depositing it onto the ground.

With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can expect their basement to once again remain dry for many years into the future. The WaterGuard piping will now protect this basement from any heavy rainstorms that might have caused problems for the homeowner.

Wiscasset, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help replacing their old gutters. The original gutters were leaking, constantly clogged and hard to clean, and sagging away from the home. System Design Specialist Josh H. met with the owners to create a plan to install our Gutter Shutter system. Gutter Shutter offers seamless gutters that never pull away from the home or clog, and come with a lifetime warranty! Our homeowners no longer have to try to get up on a ladder to clean their gutters.

A homeowner in Trevett had seen our ads on a local TV station and decided it was time to take care of their wet crawlspace. The homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. One of our System Design Specialists met with the homeowner to review their concerns and come up with a plan to prevent future issues.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed across the entire crawlspace. Drainage Matting is laid down first to elevate the CleanSpace and with its dimpled design, Drainage Matting helps to channel any groundwater to a sump. CleanSpace was installed and attached to the crawl space walls to encapsulate the area. CleanSpace is an inorganic and durable vapor barrier that keeps moisture and small critters out while turning the crawlspace into a perfect area for storage. We also installed a SuperSump Plus which pumps water out of the basement through an Exterior Buried Discharge line and takes the water far away from the home. The whole system is protected against ice buildup during winter with the installation of IceGuard on the Discharge line. This ensures that the system will always run, preventing flooding when snow melts. To finish out the waterproofing system, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity in the crawlspace at a safe level, preventing musty smells and mold growth. Now the homeowner is happy that they have a dry, usable space!

Before our team arrived, the homeowner in Southport, Maine, faced the challenge of a damp, dirt-floor crawl space. The space was prone to moisture issues, which could lead to problems like mold, poor air quality, and structural damage if left unaddressed. They knew it was time to take action. After assessing the situation, TC Hafford Basement Systems recommended installing the CleanSpace liner, drainage matting, and a SmartDrain. This system would effectively block moisture from entering while allowing any water to drain out safely.

The transformation was remarkable. What was once a vulnerable, exposed dirt crawl space is now fully encapsulated and protected from moisture. The homeowner was thrilled to have a dry, secure area under their home that will protect their property for years to come.

This Southport, ME, crawl space was open to the elements and stayed damp, causing issues and leading to problems such as mold. The homeowner needed help, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate, and System Design Specialist Kathryn Dolan met with the homeowner. Together, Kathryn and the homeowner designed a crawl space encapsulation system that would protect the home and prevent water from being an issue in the future.

Ground water was an issue for this crawl space, so a TripleCrawl Sump Pump system was installed to handle the water and pump it out of the home through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far away from the home and is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. Mold has been an issue, so taking care of the moisture problem in the crawl space was the next step. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed to encapsulate the area and keep moisture out. Drainage Matting is constructed with a dimpled design that channels water to the TripleCrawl and elevates the CleanSpace to keep it clean and protect it. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that was attached to the walls, sealing the area and brightening the space, making it perfect for storage. SmartDrain and Perforated Pipe were installed to channel water to the TripleCrawl Sump Pump. To finish encapsulating the crawl space and protect the home, SprayFoam was installed to insulate the area, and a SaniDry Sedona was installed to keep the humidity at a safe level. The SaniDry Sedona is connected to a Condensate Pump and drains to the TripleCrawl so the homeowner never has to be worried about emptying a bucket of water, and the system will continue to run without needing to be supervised or checked up on.

The homeowner is now able to regain control over their home and can live in the space without the concern of the mold or moisture effecting the health of their family.
