TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners from Damariscotta, ME contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their basement. They purchased the home in the fall and by spring had noticed a 4 foot diagonal crack in their wall with water seeping in. System Design Specialist Stephen C. worked with the homeowners to address their waterproofing needs.

BrightWall panels were installed on the walls as a moisture and vapor barrier, as well as to freshen up the space. BrightWall panels are durable, easy to clean, and never discolor. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a new SuperSump Plus pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which then drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. The homeowners now have dry and usable space again!

We recently helped homeowners in New Harbor, Maine to protect their crawl space from moisture and mold issues. The crawl space had a damp gravel floor, and cinder block walls, allowing water to easily seep in. Water intrusion can quickly cause mold, and even wood rot, on the structural support beams. We encapsulated the space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and because it is an inorganic material it also prevents mold growth. To better insulate the area we also installed Spray Foam, which creates an air and moisture tight seal while immediately improving the energy efficiency of the home.

Homeowners were under contract to sell their home in Nobleboro, Maine when an inspection report identified a problem with a bowing foundation wall. We repaired the foundation wall by installing StableLock Wall, a new poured concrete wall. StableLock Wall provides proper structural support to the home without having to excavate the old wall, or lift the home, both of which are costly. We pour the new StableLock Wall next to the failing wall to prevent further shifting or bowing. 

Homeowners in Nobleboro, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their cracked foundation wall. Concerned about the integrity of the structure, they wanted to be sure their home was safe and the foundation would not get worse. We installed PowerBraces along the crack on the interior of their basement walls. PowerBraces are steel posts that are custom fit to the space, and can be tightened over time, sometimes helping the wall return to its original straight position. PowerBraces prevent further cracking or shifting, and require no excavation, keeping them a cost effective foundation repair solution.
