TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

A buyer in Bar Harbor, ME faced issues with a wet crawl space causing serious moisture concerns, as seen in the before photo. This problem not only threatened structural integrity but also risked molding and increased energy costs. Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems installed the proven CleanSpace encapsulation system to tackle these challenges. The sturdy 20-mil liner, reinforced and antimicrobial-treated, transformed the dank space into a dry and stable foundation. As shown in the after photo, our Bar Harbor client now has a secure crawl space and added protection against future moisture issues.

New owners of an investment property quickly discovered the walls and floors of the basement had water leaking into the space. They wanted to use the basement for storage, and to protect their new investment as the home would be rented in the summer for short term rentals. As shown in the before photo, the original basement flooring had gaping cracks allowing water to seep in. We poured a brand new slab floor to protect the entire basement, along with slab WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard channels any moisture directly to the TripleSafe sump pump system to remove it from the home. On the walls we installed CleanSpace Wall system along with SprayFoam insulation. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that protects against cracking walls to seal moisture out, and because it is an inorganic material it also prevents mold growth. The SprayFoam insulation keeps the space air tight to help the owners save on energy bills. These new homeowners can now rest knowing their investment is protected.
