TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Shortly after moving into their dream home, this Augusta, ME, homeowner was faced with a problem: their basement would get wet when it rained. Wanting to use their basement for storage without the risk of having their belongings damaged, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to waterproof their basement. System Design Specialist Ken Castillo met with the homeowner, and together they worked on designing a system that would keep their basement dry and their home healthy.

WaterGuard Perimeter drain was installed along the basement walls where necessary to capture groundwater. WaterGuard then channels the water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. In high-traffic areas, TrenchDrain was installed to capture the most amount of water possible. TrenchDrain features a grated cover that can be removed to clear the system and still capture surface water in front of stairs, doorways, and more. The TripleSafe Sump Pump has the power to pump 2,220 gallons of water an hour out of the main pump alone. Water is pumped out through a Buried Discharge Line that takes the water away from the home, where it can’t cause any more issues. IceGuard was installed at the base of the discharge line to prevent ice buildup, keeping the system running at 100% all year round. Now the home is safe from water, and the basement can be used for storage without worry.

A SuperSump Plus system was installed to remove any water from the basement through a buried exterior discharge line. WaterGuard and TrenchDrain were installed along the perimeter of the basement to catch the water coming in at the base of the walls and channel it to the SuperSump Plus. BrightWall panels were installed on every wall to cover the cold concrete walls and add a layer of moisture protection. BrightWall freshens up the space, is durable, easy to clean, and never discolors.

An Augusta, Maine crawl space was experiencing moisture problems, which made the homeowners worry about the integrity of the supports for their home, as well as their air quality. We removed the old fiberglass insulation and other debris, and regraded the area. Then we installed our two-step encapsulation process, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. Drainage matting channels the groundwater, and the CleanSpace liner is installed on top of the drainage matting and on all of the walls to create a sealed up space. CleanSpace prevents mold growth in addition to keeping water out. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to provide energy efficiency improvements, as well as an added moisture seal.

Spray Foam Specialist Travis L. worked with installer Domanic L. to protect the crawlspace. SprayFoam is part of our Dr. Energy Saver department, and 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. We also installed CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. 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. The crawlspace will now stay dry and critter free!
