TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Waldoboro, Maine contacted us for help when they checked on their seasonal home and found 8" of water in the basement. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump system, which is the top of the line sump with a battery backup. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps that combined can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour in high capacity events. It also features a third battery backup pump to keep the system running even if the home loses power. Installing the TripleSafe sump pump now gives these homeowners peace of mind for when they can't be at the property.

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.

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.
