TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Saint Albans, Maine had a cracked wall that was beginning to buckle. Concerned, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for expert help. We installed PowerBraces, which are steel beams that are custom fit to stop any further shifting of the wall. PowerBraces can actually help straighten the wall over time. They can be installed quickly compared to other foundation repair options, and are able to be adjusted over time as needed.

With several leaking cracks in the walls of their basement, this Dexter, ME homeowner needed a more permanent method to keep the water at bay. After calling us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and receiving their free estimate, this homeowner was able to find the solution they were looking for. Upon arrival at the home, our installation crew got started on sealing these cracks by preparing the area surrounding each crack; using a coarse brush to remove any debris. Next, an initial layer of sealant was laid within each crack. This was covered by a foam core and a second layer of sealant to hold the core in place. This structure known as a FlexiSpan seal will lock out any leaking moisture while also maintaining flexibility to adhere to the crack even if the wall should shift slightly over time. With the cracks in their basement sealed with FlexiSpan, this homeowner can now make use of their basement without water causing damage to their property.

These FlexiSpan seals will maintain a dry basement for this Dexter, ME homeowner for many years into the future! Their leaky, damp basement is now a thing of the past!

Owners of this Dexter, Maine basement were dealing with water intrusion problems coming in from their old rock walls. To keep their basement completely dry, we started with covering the walls with CleanSpace Wall System, which is a vapor barrier sealing moisture out of the space. We poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. A TripleSafe sump pump was added, which connects to the WaterGuard so that water collected in the drainage system is pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a third battery backup pump. The UltraSump battery backup allows the pump to operate even if the home loses power. Finally, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which controls the humidity as well as filters allergens from the air.

The CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed to seal and protect the homeowner's basement. Our team applied the durable liner to the walls and floor, creating an airtight barrier that prevents moisture, mold, and humidity from entering. This not only enhances the basement's appearance but also ensures long-term durability and a healthier home.

We installed CleanSpace drainage matting on the floor to create a durable base that allows water to flow underneath, directing it away from the basement. The vapor barrier was then installed over it to seal the area, preventing moisture and humidity from seeping through, ensuring a dry and protected space.
