TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Manchester, ME homeowners needed help with their basement that kept having standing water after rain events. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on the needed repairs. We installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, to help capture the water they were experiencing. WaterGuard connects directly to the new TripleSafe sump pump so it can be pumped away from the home. 

A homeowner in Manchester, Maine, had been growing more and more concerned as they noticed water seeping through their basement walls. Unsure of how to fix the problem, they reached out to TC Hafford for help. After a thorough assessment, we installed Dr. Energy Saver foam insulation to create a lasting barrier against moisture. The difference was immediate. The once damp walls were now fully protected, and we added our SaniDry Dehumidifier to remove the previous excess moisture for a clean and dry basement. The homeowner was pleased with the transformation. 

Without any water protection in place, this homeowner living in Belgrade, ME would regularly experience water gathering in pools on their basement floor. This rendered their basement useless for storage. To protect their basement from water, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew was able to provide a solution for this leaking foundation. When our crew arrived, they were able to install WaterGuard piping within the perimeter of the concrete floor, buried just beneath the surface. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor as well with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments attached to the discharge line leaving the home. Now when moisture tries to enter the space below this home, the water will be trapped by the WaterGuard. Once inside, the water will travel through the buried pipes to the TripleSafe where it will be removed from the home without having reached the surface of the basement floor.

Now that this homeowner has a properly waterproofed basement, they can make use of the space without pooling water destroying their property.

A Belgrade, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to keep their basement dry. We installed WaterGuard and TrenchDrain to both help channel water to the brand new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. It drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard.

This Richmond, ME, homeowner was worried about the supports in his basement after seeing their dry wall beginning to crack. Not willing to let the problem get worse, they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Lou DiStasio worked with the homeowner to protect their home. A Supplemental Beam was built, and SmartJacks were installed where needed. SmartJacks are constructed of galvanized steel and can be adjusted over time to prevent the floor above from sagging. SmartJacks are a permanent solution to sagging and bouncy floors and can be installed in crawl spaces or basements. With the floor above stabilized and protected from sagging, the homeowner can live in their home confident that their floors are supported properly.
