TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Lisbon, ME homeowners were growing increasingly concerned with their shifting cinder block foundation walls. They called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help keeping their home safe and secure. We installed StableLock Wall system, a new poured concrete wall, in front of the failing wall. StableLock prevents any further shifting or bowing, while maintaining the structural integrity of the home. It is less expensive than traditional methods of foundation repair that involve lifting the home. 

Lisbon, Maine homeowners had an old sump pump but they felt it was not working well enough to keep up with their basement water problems. We replaced their old sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe has three pumps, including two Zoeller pumps and a third battery backup pump. The TripleSafe can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour in high capacity events. The UltraSump batter backup ensures the pump operates even if the home loses power. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system which can remove over 100 pints of water from the air each day, keeping humidity at a healthy level.

We recently helped homeowners in Lisbon, Maine with their leaky basement. The owners noticed water coming through a leak in the wall, as well as a crack in the floor. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump system with WaterGuard and Trench Drain perimeter drainage. On the leaking wall we installed CleanSpace Wall System to act as a vapor barrier, sealing moisture out and channeling water seepage to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard and Trench Drain capture water that seeps in and brings it to the TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, and a third battery backup pump, ensuring your system will run properly in all conditions.

We recently helped Lisbon, Maine homeowners who were experiencing odors from their crawl space, and indicated the crawl space often had a lot of moisture. Dirt floors allow moisture to seep into a crawl space, keeping it damp and musty. Over time, moisture can cause mold or rot to the wooden support beams for the home. When support beams weaken, it can cause sagging or sloping floors. We installed SmartJacks, which are steel posts, to provide added support to the home above. SmartJacks can be adjusted to even lift sagging floors back to level. We also encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier, which seals out moisture, keeping the crawl space protected.

A Chebeague Island homeowner planned to enjoy living on an island surrounded by water, but didn't plan to have island in their basement! They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to help mitigate their water issues. Our System Design Specialist met with the homeowner to design an encapsulation system that would solve their problems.

To fully encapsulate the basement and keep moisture out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. A SmartSump was installed to capture water and pump it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. Now our homeowner can enjoy island time without the headache of unwanted water!
