TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We met with Mariaville, Maine homeowners to see how we could help them with their damp crawl space. The crawl space had dirt and stone floors, which were allowing moisture to enter the space, keeping it damp and musty. The moisture had affected the beams under the home, causing floors to sag and feel bouncy. To support the floors we installed a new supplementalbeam, along with SmartJacks. SmartJacks are steel posts that are custom fit to provide immediate lift and level the floors above. SmartJacks are zinc coated so they will never rust. To control the moisture, we encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting. CleanSpace seals out water so the home will stay dry and protected.

The Board of Selectmen for the Mattawamkeag Municipal Building reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their failing foundation. The walls were eroding, showing cracks, crumbling, and even gaping holes. We installed StableLock Wall system to prevent any further shifting of the failing wall. StableLock Wall is a poured concrete wall that is poured against the original wall to provide added support and stability. It leaves a nice, smooth finished look when the project is complete. Traditional methods of foundation repair often involve lifting the structure which is an intensive process, as well as very costly. StableLock Wall provides a cost-effective solution without the disruption of lifting.

A homeowner in Bass Harbor, Maine was dealing with a wet, musty basement that led to persistent leaks and moisture issues. Concerned about water damage and air quality, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a comprehensive solution. Our team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System and WaterGuard Interior Drainage to keep the water out, while EverLast Wall Panels provided a clean, moisture-resistant finish. To control humidity and prevent mold, we also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control humidity and remove dust and mold spores. Now, their basement is dry, healthy, and fully protected—ready to be used and enjoyed year-round.

Tired of cleaning out their clogged gutters and wanting to get the problem solved quickly, this Bar Harbor, ME homeowner reached out to Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner and worked with them to design the gutter system of their dreams. With many colors to choose from, the homeowner was able to pick a Gutter Shutter system that matched their home. With the larger 6-inch gutter with a built-in shutter, the homeowner never has to climb a ladder to unclog their gutters ever again.

Moisture has wreaked havoc on this Bar Harbor, ME, crawl space, and the homeowner couldn’t let the issues continue, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Craig Ziegenbein worked with the homeowner to design a system that would seal their crawl space and keep humidity from causing damage and rotting out the wood.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was first installed to encapsulate the area and create a barrier between the outside elements and the crawl space. Drainage Matting is a durable, dimpled matting that creates a channel that allows ground water to flow to the sump pump and elevates the CleanSpace to protect it. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls to seal the crawl space from moisture and small critters. An UltraSump was installed to take the water from the area and pump it away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line and the sump system are protected from freezing during the winter with the installation of IceGuard. To finish the encapsulation system, the old and rotting crawl space entrance cover was replaced with a new EverLast Access Panel that keeps air and moisture from coming into the crawl space.

Now the homeowner is happy being able to use their crawl space for storage with moisture no longer affecting the health of their home.
