TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A Liberty, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet and musty crawlspace. The homeowner wanted to encapsulate the space, as well as install SprayFoam Insulation, knowing it was eligible for energy rebates through the state. We encapsulated the space using CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the crawlspace and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more dry and comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill!

Homeowners in Sangerville, ME were under contract to purchase the home when it was discovered that a foundation wall was bowing and needed repairs. The realtor contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to coordinate the repairs. We installed PowerBraces, a steel beam system custom fit to immediately stop wall movement. PowerBraces can be tightened over time which helps correct the alignment of the failing wall. There is no excavation needed, which helps keep it a less costly repair than other foundation solutions. 

Worried about the supports under their floors, this Sangerville, ME, homeowner wanted to address the issue quickly since this would be their forever home. System Design Specialist Stacy Hafford met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would meet both the homeowner's expectations and the needs of the home, ensuring it would be safe and healthy. New Supplemental Beams were installed, and six SmartJacks were attached. SmartJacks supports can correct problems such as sloping floors, overly springy floors, and out-of-level door frames. SmartJacks are designed to be adjustable over time, providing additional straightening and leveling as necessary. The homeowner is now set up to be worry-free knowing that their home is safe and healthy.

When the homeowner in Appleton, Maine, first contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems, their crawl space was a major concern. They had noticed uneven floors and signs of moisture buildup, which could lead to long-term damage if not addressed. The crawl space had no moisture barrier in place, and the support beams were beginning to weaken under the strain. Without proper protection, the space was prone to mold growth and structural instability, making the home’s foundation vulnerable.

Following our comprehensive evaluation, we installed a SmartJack system, providing the essential support to stabilize the floor above and correct the unevenness that had been a source of worry. Next, we fitted the CleanSpace liner system, which sealed off the crawl space from outside moisture, ensuring a dry and healthy environment. Finally, the installation of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier guaranteed that humidity levels would stay low, keeping the crawl space mold-free and well-protected.

The transformation was remarkable. What was once an unstable and damp space became a solid, dry, and secure foundation for the home. The homeowner was greatly satisfied with the end result, knowing that their crawl space was not only stabilized but fully protected against future issues.

Homeowners in Freedom, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after being highly recommended by their neighbors. Their crawl space needed sealing to protect against water intrusion and damage. We installed our two-step encapsulation system with drainage matting and a CleanSpace liner. Drainage matting helps channel groundwater underneath the CleanSpace liner directly to the new SmartSump with UltraSump battery back up. The SmartSump pumps water away from the home so it will not cause any damage. The CleanSpace liner seals water out, and is an inorganic material that prevents mold growth within the crawl space.
