TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Bethel, Maine homeowners were experiencing ongoing moisture issues in their basement, which in turn led to failing floor joists. The floors above were sagging and needed support. We installed SmartJacks, which are zinc coated steel posts custom fit to immediately lift and level the floors above, providing more than enough support for the home. SmartJacks will never rust like old lally columns. To address the moisture, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona controls the humidity to a healthy level, and also has a MERV8 filter to handle allergens like dust and mold spores. 

Over time, stone foundations begin to break down, allowing for gaps to form that allow in water, creating a breeding ground of high humidity and mold growth. Gaps in a foundation can also lead to shifting, which creates an unstable foundation that could potentially ruin the health of a home and lead to damage if not properly fixed. Typically, a failing foundation would have to be replaced by lifting a home and pouring a new foundation. This would involve the homeowner moving out of their home for a period of time and having to make extensive changes to plumbing and electrical during the lift. StableLock by TC Hafford Basement Systems saves the current foundation and prevents the homeowner from having to go through the trouble of lifting their home.

This Shapleigh, ME, homeowner had a failing foundation that was allowing water in and creating an unhealthy home environment. This has been their home for over 40 years, and it was important to them to fix the situation promptly. The homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner for a free estimate. Michael Penna and the homeowner worked together to design a system that would save the existing foundation and protect the homeowner from having to move out of their home for repairs. The StabeLock system features a new foundation wall that is poured and secured to the existing failing wall. This not only saves the homeowner from extensive home renovation but can be finished in as little as two days without disrupting the home, all while saving the homeowner money. The homeowner is able to rest easy now knowing that their home is protected and their foundation won't cause them anymore issues. 

Wanting to cure their humidity and puddle problems in their basement, this Seabrook, NH homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Rick Russell drove out to meet with the homeowner for a free estimate and worked with them to design a system that would meet their needs and protect the health of their home.

Replacing the old sump pump was a must for the customer to make sure water would be pumped out of the basement before it had a chance to form any puddles. A SuperSump was installed in place of the old sump and connected to a Buried Exterior Discharge line that takes the water far from the home where it won’t cause any problems. IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line to prevent ice from building up during the cold winter months, ensuring that the system will run smoothly year-round. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in the basement to keep humidity at a safe level, preventing mold, musty odors, and keeping the space safe for storage. Now this Seabrook, NH home is protected, and the homeowner can use their basement to its fullest potential.

Homeowners were looking for a more permanent solution for a small dirt crawlspace covered by a tarp. They dealt with a lot of moisture in the crawl space and they knew it was effecting the overall health of their home. TC Hafford came in and installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier, a specially designed liner that keeps out pests, humidity, and most importantly moisture. 

These homeowners now have peace of mind.

With water gathering in puddles on their basement floor, this Berwick, ME homeowner needed something to keep the water out. After searching online for a solution, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could solve their problem. After speaking with our sales representative during their sales estimate, we were given the green light to get started on a WaterGuard & SuperSump installation. Once our crew arrived at the home, they got started on the floor by excavating the perimeter. This allowed for the WaterGuard piping to be laid around the basement floor, just below the surface. Sealed below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will absorb any water as it leaks in through the foundation in the future. The water enters through small slits along the lower edge of the pipes and is guided directly into the SuperSump pump installed in the floor as well. The SuperSump can handle up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour, pumping it out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Finally, outside the home, IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to provide additional protection against flooding. The LawnScape section covers the end with a grate to keep debris from entering the line while the IceGuard allows a way for any water blocked by ice to escape without backing up into the home.

With a permanent waterproofing solution in place, this homeowner no longer needs to suffer from a flooding basement! The WaterGuard piping along with the SuperSump pump will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for years into the future.
