TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

With several leaking cracks in the walls of their basement, this Dexter, ME homeowner needed a more permanent method to keep the water at bay. After calling us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and receiving their free estimate, this homeowner was able to find the solution they were looking for. Upon arrival at the home, our installation crew got started on sealing these cracks by preparing the area surrounding each crack; using a coarse brush to remove any debris. Next, an initial layer of sealant was laid within each crack. This was covered by a foam core and a second layer of sealant to hold the core in place. This structure known as a FlexiSpan seal will lock out any leaking moisture while also maintaining flexibility to adhere to the crack even if the wall should shift slightly over time. With the cracks in their basement sealed with FlexiSpan, this homeowner can now make use of their basement without water causing damage to their property.

These FlexiSpan seals will maintain a dry basement for this Dexter, ME homeowner for many years into the future! Their leaky, damp basement is now a thing of the past!

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!
