TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Rochester, NH crawl space had constant moisture, and signs of frequent flooding. Moisture in a crawl space can weaken and damage the wooden supports to the home over time through mold or wood rot. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier, sealing out water. A SmartSump pump was installed to control the groundwater. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona, which is a high efficiency air system that removes moisture from the air to keep the crawl space at a healthy humidity level. 

When this homeowners basement flooded during the melting of snow after last winter, they knew they needed something done before this happened again. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate before beginning work on solving their moisture problem. To protect this basement from future flooding, a WaterGuard piping system was installed around the perimeter of the floor. These pipes are buried below the surface of the floor where they will absorb any leaking water before it can reach the surface in the future. Next a TripleSafe sump system was installed and connected directly to the WaterGuard to provide a means to remove the captured water. Finally, IceGuard and LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to further protect the basement from potential leakage causes.

With their newly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can expect a dry basement year-round from now on. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe installation will keep this basement completely water-free for years to come!

Homeowners in Rochester, NH had cement block foundation walls that were leaking water. We installed CleanSpace Wall System, a vapor barrier that protects the walls from moisture coming in, channeling any water behind the liner directly to the WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard channels the water to the brand new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps for protection against pump failure, as well as a battery back up so there are no concerns if the power goes out. The TripleSafe removes water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line, which is protected by IceGuard to prevent freezing up in the winter.

Homeowners in Rochester, NH had cracks in their foundation walls that were letting water in, and they wanted to explore adding a perimeter drainage system. We provided a free estimate and recommended installing WaterGuard perimeter drainage, along with CleanSpace Wall System to protect the seeping walls. CleanSpace Wall System is a vapor barrier that allows water to stay behind the liner and directed to the WaterGuard drainage, while sealing moisture out of the basement space. The CleanSpace also gives a clean and updated appearance to old basement walls. WaterGuard drainage channels incoming water directly to their new TripleSafe sump pump (not pictured here). The TripleSafe then pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.

Isolating a crawl space from moisture from the earth, is critical to a healthy and happy home. At this home in New Castle, NH, TC Hafford Basement Systems used multiple exclusive products to give the homeowner peace of mind and a healthy home. 

CleanSpace with drainage matting underneath is installed to keep moisture from the earth out of the crawl space and a SaniDry Sedona will work to keep the humidity in the crawl space low. Perforated pipe will direct groundwater to the SmartSump where it will push water out to a discharge line and far away from the homeowners crawl space. In the event of a power outage, the UltraSump Battery Back Up is installed to protect the space without hiccup.

Not only does the homeowner no longer have to worry about their crawl space, but now they have a usable area for storage and their home is better protected against the elements.
