TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

This Waldoboro, ME homeowner was in the market for some basement waterproofing when their camp began to flood after rainfall. After contacting our office for a free estimate and meeting with our sales representative, this homeowner gave us the green light to get started on keeping their basement dry in the future. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work on excavating a shallow trench around the perimeter of the concrete slab in the basement. This made room for WaterGuard piping to be laid, surrounding the basement floor. Buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will act as a barrier, capturing any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. Next, a CleanSpace wall system was put in place, covering the walls to prevent any moisture from entering the basement by funneling it down into the WaterGuard below. Finally, due to limited electricity at the camp, a daylight drain was installed in the floor, with the WaterGuard feeding into it. Now any water entering the basement through the foundation or the walls will be intercepted by the WaterGuard & CleanSpace and redirected out of the camp through the drain.

With proper waterproofing in place, this property owner should not experience standing water in the basement of their camp in the future. The WaterGuard will keep water off their floor for years to come!

System Design Specialist Michael M. helped Unity, ME homeowners with their damp and dingy crawlspace. The homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to learn their options for insulation and water protection.

We cleared the crawlspace of debris and regraded the area with clean stone. We were then able to install CleanSpace with drainage matting, an inorganic vapor barrier that seals the walls. SprayFoam insulation was installed on the rim joists to provide an added air and moisture seal. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air purifier to filter any dust and mold spores, as well as control the moisture in the air.
