TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Newcastle, ME, crawl space was humid, moldy, and filled with mildew. Needing to address the issues and fix the sagging and bouncy floors, the homeowner decided to book a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems to fix the issues. System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the homeowner and worked with them to design an encapsulation and stabilizing system that would completely overhaul their crawl space and turn the space from a nightmare into the perfect place for storage.

First, the floors above needed to be stabilized to prevent walls from cracking and damaging the home. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel and are capable of supporting the weight needed and have the ability to be adjusted over time if needed. Once the bouncy floor was addressed, encapsulating the crawl space and creating an inorganic barrier between the space and the outside elements was next. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down and attached to the walls with SprayFoam to ensure a tight seal. Drainage Matting is a durable matting with large dimples to create a channel for water to be directed to the low spot and helps to keep the CleanSpace elevated and clean. CleanSpace is a durable inorganic vapor barrier that protects crawl spaces from moisture and prevents critters from making their way into the area and causing damage. To help capture and channel water, Perforated Pipe was installed and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is capable of handling the water during heavy rains that would otherwise cause issues and pumps it out of the home through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home, and with IceGuard installed, the system is protected from ice buildup during the cold winter months. Now that the home is protected from the outside elements, fully encapsulated, and the floor is stabilized, the homeowner can live in their home, knowing that their family will be safe and healthier.

Newcastle, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to install spray foam in their 1850's basement and crawlspace. System Design Specialist Michael M. met with the homeowner to create a plan that would address each space.

In the basement, we poured a slab to upgrade the space from the old dirt floors. Slab WaterGuard was added around the perimeter of the basement to channel water and moisture to the new TripleSafe sump pump. CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the walls, along with SprayFoam Insulation on the rim joists and walls. Completing the space is a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

For the crawlspace, we installed CleanSpace with drainage matting, as well as SprayFoam Insulation. 

Both spaces are now dry and protected from future water issues!

A Walpole, ME homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate after years of dealing with a wet basement. They met with System Design Specialist Jordan T. to review their specific problem and come up with a solution. Jordan could immediately see the standing water that had been seeping into the basement. 

We installed WaterGuard around the full perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard collects and channels water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps with a battery-powered backup pump that will protect the homeowner from flooding during a storm with a power outage. Water from the TripleSafe is pushed through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water far away from the home. The waterproofing system is protected against freezing during the winter months with the installation of IceGuard on the Discharge line. Now the homeowner has a dry, usable basement they don't have to fight anymore!

When it rains, it puddles, but unfortunately, it puddles in this South China, ME homeowner’s basement as well as their driveway. Looking to keep the rain outside, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to see what we could do about their water problems. System Design Specialist Adam Hamm drove out to meet the homeowner and work with them to design a waterproofing system that would solve their troubles.

Needing to handle ground and rainwater, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the slab to channel the water. The water needs a place to go, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed at the lowest point and connected to the WaterGuard to pump the water out of the basement and through a Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge Line takes the water far from the home where it can’t cause any trouble, and to prevent ice buildup from hindering the system during the winter months, IceGuard was installed. To finish up the system, the old sump hole was filled in and capped, and now the homeowner no longer has to deal with water in their basement.

After years of flooding issues in their basement and water reaching as high as three inches, this Jefferson, ME, homeowner was tired of the issues. Mold could be found on items, which caused the basement to be unusable. Looking to regain control of their basement and use it for storage, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Kathryn Dolan met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a basement waterproofing system that would keep the basement dry all the time.

The homeowner needed protection through the whole basement, so WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch and channel water. WaterGuard is installed under the slab to catch ground water and any water that may seep in from the foundation. TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas and doorways to catch any water that may find its way in when coming in from outside. TrenchDrain connects to the WaterGuard where the water is channeled to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is capable of taking the water and pumping it out of the home through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge line takes the water far away from the house, and to prevent ice buildup during the cold Maine winters, IceGuard was installed. This keeps the waterproofing system functioning year-round, ensuring the basement is always dry. Finally, CleanSpace Wall System was installed where necessary and tied into the WaterGuard. Now the homeowner is free to use their basement as they originally intended, and water and mold are a thing of the past.
