TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

StableLock was installed over the rocky wall in the customer's basement to ensure a secure and stable foundation for the system. The rocky surface required a reliable solution to prevent shifting or instability over time, and StableLock provided the necessary durability and support.

When this Newport, ME homeowner contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems with a water leakage problem, we had just the permanent solution they were looking for! Following their free estimate, our installation crew began work on the home by excavating a shallow trench into the majority of the existing basement floor. This was soon replaced with a fresh concrete slab as well as a WaterGuard piping system buried within the perimeter. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the basement floor nearby with the WaterGuard feeding directly into it. The TripleSafe system houses three pumps; two pumps to handle the bulk of the water with a third, battery-operated backup pump to handle any power-outages. Finally, a CleanSpace wall system was put in place, covering the walls of the space with a water-tight seal that drains down into the WaterGuard below. Now during any rainfall or melting snow, leaking moisture will be captured by the WaterGuard before reaching the surface of the floor and forced out of the home through the TripleSafe discharge line.

With these waterproofing solutions in place, this homeowner can now rest assured their basement will remain water-free all year-round. The WaterGuard piping working in tandem with a TripleSafe pump will prevent future leaking in this basement for years to come!

We helped Newport, Maine homeowners waterproof and insulate their damp basement. The original basement had dirt floors and fieldstone walls, both of which allow moisture to seep in. We poured a brand new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace Wall vapor barrier covers the field stone walls and ties into the WaterGuard to channel moisture directly to the drainage system. WaterGuard then funnels water to their new TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the home. Spray Foam insulation was added to seal out air, as well as provide moisture and mold protection. Spray Foam immediately improves the home's energy efficiency.

A homeowner in Cushing reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to get help with their walkout basement that had water coming in. The homeowner had plans to finish the basement, and wanted to ensure it was dry before doing the renovations. Our System Design Specialist came up with a plan to install a SmartSump system with WaterGuard, as well as Spray Foam Insulation. The SmartSump was installed to capture water and pump it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. We identified that spray foam insulation from Doctor Energy Saver would be a great fit for this project as well. We applied the foam throughout the basement walls, and the results were outstanding. The insulation made a noticeable difference and helped prepare the space to be finished and enjoyed. 

We installed SmartJacks in this Warren, Maine crawl space that had weakened from moisture problems. When the wooden support beams and joists are exposed to moisture, they will weaken over time, causing the floors to sag. SmartJacks are galvanized steel posts that will not rust, and are custom fit to the space. They provide added stabilization to the home, and can even be adjusted to lift and level the floors back to their original position.
