TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

When the 55-year-old drain in their basement clogged up and would not function anymore, this Bridgton, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. After speaking with our sales representative and reviewing their options during a free estimate, they gave us the green light to begin work on resolving their sump problem. When our installation crew arrived at the home, they began work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the basement floor. This allowed enough room for WaterGuard piping to be laid surrounding the basement. Buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard pipes within the floor will capture any moisture leaking into the basement through the pores in the concrete in the future. The water is then guided through the piping to the sump where we installed a SuperSump pump. This new pump is capable of removing over 2,600 gallons of water from the home every hour. The water is pumped outside the home through a PVC discharge line where it passes through IceGuard & LawnScape sections before being released onto the lawn. These two additional pipe sections provide protection against blockages in the line and debris that might cause future clogs.

With a revamped waterproofing system in place, this homeowner’s wet basement problem is now a thing of the past. The WaterGuard & SuperSump combination will ensure this basement remains dry for years to come!

A Bridgton, ME homeowner has lived in their home for over 40 years and noticed signs that their crawl space needed some help. Musty smells and signs of damage began to raise concerns, so the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to get help protecting the health and resale value of their home.

System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner to address the issues in the crawl space. The homeowner also wanted to address the issue of cold floors in the winter and groundwater seeping into the crawl space. A system was designed specifically for this crawl space, and Foreman Joshua and his crew installed it. They started by regrading the dirt floor to ensure a level ground, then laid CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Power Braces were installed to stabilize the walls, and spray foam was used to help encapsulate the crawl space, keeping outside elements outside. Finally, a Smart Sump was installed and connected to an exterior Discharge Line that was buried so it would be out of sight and could carry any water far from the home, where it would no longer pose an issue.

Concerned about mold growth and the resale value of their home, this Bridgton, Maine, homeowner wanted to get ahead of any problems caused by water and called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and discussed their concerns, with the goal of creating a waterproofing system specifically designed for this home. WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed around the basement, with TrenchDrain connected to the TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The TripleSafe Sump will pump the water through an Exterior Discharge line that will take the water far from the home, where it can't be a problem.

During springtime, the Bridgton, ME home had a tendency to welcome in water, and the homeowner was ready to tackle the problem, so they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner for a free estimate. Together, they designed a system specific to this basement that would take care of any water issue and protect the health of the home.

A WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed in front of the problem areas and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, which will channel and push water out of the basement and into an Exterior Discharge Line. To prevent ice buildup and ensure the system works year-round, IceGuard is connected. Finally, a SmartJack was installed to stabilize the floor above, completing the system and protecting the home.

A moving wall was creating problems for this Bridgton, ME, homeowner, leading to an unstable foundation and water in their basement. Wanting to get ahead of the issue before springtime when the water is worse, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner, and together they designed a waterproofing and foundation repair system that would meet the needs of the home and protect their family.

When a foundation begins to move or break down, the home would have to be lifted and a new foundation poured in its place. With StableLock Wall System, the homeowner never has to leave the comfort of their home. StableLock is a quicker and more cost-effective solution to a failing foundation using modern shoring and forming methods. StableLock fills the voids of the failing wall, stabilizing it and leaving a new, smooth wall in its place. To catch groundwater and keep the basement dry, WaterGuard was installed where needed to channel water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe sump pump features two Zoeller pumps with an included battery-powered backup pump. The battery backup pump comes on in the event of a power outage, keeping the homeowner protected from water coming into their basement and causing issues. The TripleSafe takes the water and pumps it out through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home, and with the installed IceGuard, the system is protected against ice buildup, and the system runs all year without issue. To finish the waterproofing system, the homeowner opted to have a SaniDry Sedona installed to keep the humidity in their basement at a safe level. Now the homeowner is able to enjoy their basement and use it for storage without the risk of their belongings being damaged.
