TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Portland, ME, home was built on silty fill, and over the years, the home had settled, leading to the foundation cracking and allowing water to seep in. Needing to stabilize the foundation to prevent damage to their home, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Brian Donnolly worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing and stabilizing system that would protect the health of the home and keep the family safe.

First Push Piers were installed to stabilize the foundation and prevent it from further settling, protecting the home from costly damage. The Push Pier system utilizes high-strength round steel tubes and brackets to lift sinking foundations. WaterGuard was installed to capture and channel water to the new UltraSump to keep the basement dry all of the time. The UltraSump pumps the water through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water away from the home. The system is protected against ice buildup during the winter with the installation of IceGuard. BrightWall was installed along the wall where cracks had previously formed to act as a vapor barrier and channel any moisture to the WaterGuard. Now the homeowner is able to enjoy their basement and use it for storage without moisture or water causing them issues, and they can live in their home without the concern of their foundation potentially failing.

We helped homeowners in Portland, Maine who had a concrete walkway that had sunk as much as 3" in some places and became a dangerous tripping hazard. We installed PolyLevel, a polyurethane injection, to lift and level the concrete back to its original position. PolyLevel is environmentally friendly, and expands as it is injected, filling the voids beneath the concrete. The owners can safely use the walkway again!

A homeowner in Portland, Maine was dealing with water leaking through their basement bulkhead every time it rained, leaving the floor soaked and unusable. Frustrated by the repeated flooding, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a lasting solution. Our team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to efficiently remove incoming water and prevent future flooding. To address the excess moisture and musty air, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. Now, their basement stays dry, comfortable, and protected—no matter the weather outside.

Portland, Maine homeowners recently reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help waterproofing their basement. Their basement would get wet every time it rained, making it difficult to make full use of the space. We treated their basement with our full waterproofing system, first by installing a new slab floor. WaterGuard drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the basement and connects to their new TripleSafe sump pump. A SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system also discharges into the TripleSafe sump pump, so the owners never have to empty buckets of water from their dehumidifier again. CleanSpace Wall System was added on the basement walls to seal out moisture, and prevent mold growth. Spray Foam insulation was sprayed on the rim joists to create an air tight seal, and provide maximum energy savings.

System Design Specialist Sam met with homeowners in Portland, Maine to evaluate their cold and damp crawl space. The homeowners had an old plastic liner on the ground that was not properly sealed to actually keep moisture out of the space. We removed and replaced their old liner with our CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is installed on the walls and floor, sealing moisture out of the entire crawl space. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists, helping to seal up the CleanSpace vapor barrier while also improving the energy efficiency of the home. Spray Foam insulation is also water and mold resistant, keeping the home protected.
