TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We recently helped Atkinson, Maine homeowners to improve the insulation in their basement so they no longer had to deal with cold floors in their home. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists, filling all the gaps to create an air tight seal. Spray Foam is also water and mold resistant, making it a great option for basements and crawl spaces to act as a vapor barrier as well. Homeowners typically notice immediate improvements to their home energy after the Spray Foam is installed.

Saint George, ME homeowner was experiencing water intrusion in their basement, mostly where the walls met their old dirt and concrete floor. We poured a new slab with drainage matting, along with WaterGuard around the basement perimeter, to capture any water coming into the space. WaterGuard connects directly to a new TripleSafe sump pump to remove water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The discharge line is protected from freezing up in the winter months with IceGuard.

A Tenants Harbor, Maine home was under contract to sell, but the crawl space was damp and had musty odors. The buyers were interested in encapsulating the crawl space to prevent any damage or smells. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, including drainage matting and a CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and because it is an inorganic material it also prevents mold growth. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to create an air tight seal, and provides immediate energy efficiency improvements. 

Homeowners in Saint George, Maine reached out to us for help after growing tired of their basement being wet with every rain. We offered a free estimate, and our System Design Specialist Kathryn D. found the low point in the basement to recommend where to install a sump pump system. The homeowners moved forward with the project, installing a SuperSump pump as well as WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard captures water that seeps in from the walls and floors and directs the water to the SuperSump to be pumped away from the home, keeping the basement dry.

Looking to both waterproof and finish their basement, this homeowner living in Hope, ME contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems shortly after seeing us on their TV. After giving the homeowner a free estimate on the job, our crew got to work protecting the space from future water build up by installing a WaterGuard system beneath the surface of the floor. To remove any water collected by the WaterGuard, a TripleSafe sump pump was put in; with the WaterGuard feeding directly into it. Next, to brighten up the interior of the basement and provide a layer covering the cold concrete walls, BrightWall panels were installed around the entire basement. Finally, TD Elite Flooring was installed across the floor of the basement. Now this basement is protected against any future leaks and has a pleasant finished look for the homeowner.
