TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

TC Hafford Basement Systems helped Winslow, ME homeowners with their cracked and failing foundation. We installed PowerBraces to provide immediate support to the foundation. PowerBraces can also be tightened over time to not only stop the failing wall, but straighten back to its original position. The PowerBraces are made of zinc-coated steel so they will never rust. The owners have confidence their home is structurally sound!

This Waterville, ME, homeowner has had a consistent leak in their basement since moving in, which has led to their basement floor being damaged. Wanting to finish their basement without their hard work and money going down the drain, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Ken Castillo worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system specifically for their needs.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement where needed to catch and channel water to the new SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump Plus features a battery back up system and the larger TripleSafe Sump Liner for the easy addition of a second Zoeller sump pump if needed in the future to offer the homeowner three levels of protection. An External Buried Discharge line is installed and connected to the SuperSump Plus to drain the water from the basement out of the home and far away, where it will no longer be a problem. To prevent the system from ice buildup and keep the system running during every season, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line. The homeowner is now able to refinish their basement floor without the risk of it being damaged by water, and they can finally use the space as it was intended.

Every time it rained, water would come into this Waterville, ME, basement and leave a mess on the floor. After putting a tarp down to try and contain the mess, the homeowner knew they needed a permanent solution to their basement problems. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Ken Castillo met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that was right for them.

The homeowner opted to install a new Slab with WaterGuard. Before the new slab was poured, the area was cleaned out, and Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and protect the new slab. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement where needed to collect and channel water. The water needs to go somewhere, so the WaterGuard was connected to a new SuperSump Plus, which takes the water and pumps it out of the basement through a Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and is protected from ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard. After the area was done being prepped, the new slab was ready to be poured, and the homeowner now has a wonderful basement that is safe to use, and the tarp can now be kept in the garage.

Winslow, ME homeowners needed help with their crawl space so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems. Water would come into their crawl space, which had poor ventilation, and in turn caused moisture issues in the home above. They understood the importance of keeping their crawl space healthy to help the air throughout their entire home. We encapsulated the crawl space with our two-step process featuring CleanSpace liner and drainage matting. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that seals moisture out, and is an inorganic material so it prevents mold growth. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona which is a top of the line air system that can both control humidity, as well as filter out dust and mold spores to keep the air healthy. 

Winslow, ME homeowners were inundated with water in their basement, especially in the springtime when the snow would melt. They called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on improvements to keep their basement dry. We upgraded their dirt floor basement to a new slab floor, complete with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. We also installed a new TripleSafe sump pump, the top of the line pump system. WaterGuard collects water and channels it directly to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The discharge line has IceGuard installed to prevent it from freezing up in the winter months. The homeowners no longer have to battle trying to clean up water in their basement!
