TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners from Milton Mills, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to address their basement concerns. They felt their foundation and lally columns were starting to fail and wanted to restabilize everything, as well as waterproof the area to address the moisture in their basement and separate crawlspace. We came up with a plan to address each area's needs given the conditions in each space.

For their crawlspace we first installed CleanSpace with Drainage Matting to encapsulate the area. 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. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill. Finishing out the full waterproofing system of the crawlspace was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which allows the basement to be kept at a safe humidity level all of the time.

For the basement area we needed to address the foundation issues with StableLock Wall System. StableLock uses modern concrete forming and shoring techniques to fill the voids of the existing wall and stabilizing it to leave a smooth wall. Traditionally, a failing foundation would be repaired but lifting the home and a new foundation being poured. The homeowner would have to move out for a period of time and the costs can be astronomical. With StableLock, the homeowner never has to leave the home and they can save money all while getting the benefit of a new foundation wall. Now that StableLock has been installed, the homeowner and their family can live in their home without being concerned that their safety is at risk.

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.

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.
