Homeowners in South Thomaston, ME were frustrated that their crawl space kept experiencing flooding. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for trusted help. We first prepared the space by regrading the area and removing debris. We then installed our two-step encapsulation process, including drainage matting and CleanSpace liner. The drainage matting helps channel groundwater directly to their new TripleSafe sump pump. The CleanSpace liner seals out moisture and prevents mold growth within the crawl space. The TripleSafe sump pump is the top of the line pump that includes two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up pump to prevent issues with functionality during power loss. Water is pumped through an exterior discharge line and away from the home. IceGuard is installed on the discharge line to prevent the water from freezing up in the winter.
Rockland, ME homeowners met with System Design Specialist Kathryn D. for help with their crawlspace. They had mold beginning to grow, and the crawlspace is directly under their master bedroom. We cleaned out all of the debris and old insulation to prep the space for a fresh start. CleanSpace with drainage matting was installed in the entire space, encapsulating the area and providing a seal from moisture. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that also prevents mold growth. We also installed a SmartSump pump system with an exterior buried discharge line to remove water away from the home. A SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air purifier was also added to filter dust and mold spores, and control the moisture in the air. Our homeowners can sleep easier now knowing their home is healthier!
TC Hafford Basement Systems helped Rockland, ME homeowners with their failing foundation wall. Their old rock wall was cracking and bowing, allowing water into the basement constantly. The homeowners were using their shop vac daily and could not keep up with the water intrusion. We installed a new StableLock Wall in front of the failing foundation wall. StableLock is a poured concrete wall that stops the old wall from further shifting or bowing, and provides proper stability to the home. It is less costly and intrusive than traditional methods of foundation repair, which often involve excavation and lifting of the home.
Homeowners from Stetson, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their challenging basement. The basement had ledge flooring and water was constantly seeping in. System Design Specialist Mark S. gave a free estimate for the needed repairs to waterproof the basement.
To fully encapsulate the area and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. SprayFoam was installed on the 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. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
