TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners upgrade their crawl space from a dingy dirt floor area, to a fresh, clean encapsulated crawl space. Our drainage matting and TripleCrawl sump pump system were installed to manage the groundwater. Our SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system now controls the humidity, as well as filters the air for allergens to keep the air in the home healthy. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals out moisture and prevents mold growth. We also installed spray foam insulation on the walls to improve the energy efficiency of the home.

This Harpswell, ME, homeowner recently purchased a new home and immediately had issues with water coming into their basement and crawl space area. Uncertain of how it comes in but appearing often, the homeowner wants to address the issue before it becomes a bigger problem or affects the health of their home. Looking for help, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Madore met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system specific to their unique situation.

To address the crawl space portion of the area, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier between the crawl space and the outside elements. CleanSpace not only brightens the area but also aids in keeping critters and moisture out. Drainage Matting creates a barrier gap and allows water to be channeled to the new SuperSump Sump Pump. The SuperSump will push all water out of the area, and because of the CleanSpace and Drainage Matting’s tough design, the crawl space is the perfect storage area for the homeowner.

The basement portion of the space needed to be addressed, and so WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed where needed and connected to another SuperSump Sump Pump. The WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which takes the water and pumps it out of the space through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge Line takes the water away from the home. The homeowner can now live in their home knowing that their basement and crawl space will no longer be an area of trouble.

A Harpswell, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to repair their wet basement. The homeowner was getting ready to list the home for sale and wanted to be sure to address the basement issues. System Design Specialist Ken C. created a plan to waterproof the area.

We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, which captures and channels water to the new SuperSump Plus system. The SuperSump Plus pumps the water through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes it far from the home. The Discharge line is protected against ice buildup during the winter months with the installation of IceGuard. Now that the basement will remain water free, the homeowner has added value to help get top dollar on the sale of their house!

Harpswell, Maine homeowners reached out because their basement was smelly, and they noticed water pooling on the floor. Musty odors often come from basements that are high in moisture and humidity, allowing things like odors or mold to take over. We installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity in the basement, while also filtering the air. The SaniDry Sedona has a MERV 8 filter to remove allergens and control odors, and the dehumidification system can remove over 100 pints of water from the air each day. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to remove groundwater before it seeps into the basement. 

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners with this leaking basement recently. The foundation walls had some vertical cracks allowing water to seep in, and the basement did not have a sump pump. We installed CleanSpace Wall System to cover the wall cracks and direct water to the new WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace Wall System is a vapor barrier that seals moisture out of the basement, while allowing incoming water to remain behind the liner and direct to the drainage and sump pump. WaterGuard connects to their new TripleSafe sump pump so water is pumped away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which removes over 100 pints of water from the air per day!
