TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

After years of flooding issues in their basement and water reaching as high as three inches, this Jefferson, ME, homeowner was tired of the issues. Mold could be found on items, which caused the basement to be unusable. Looking to regain control of their basement and use it for storage, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Kathryn Dolan met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a basement waterproofing system that would keep the basement dry all the time.

The homeowner needed protection through the whole basement, so WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch and channel water. WaterGuard is installed under the slab to catch ground water and any water that may seep in from the foundation. TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas and doorways to catch any water that may find its way in when coming in from outside. TrenchDrain connects to the WaterGuard where the water is channeled to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is capable of taking the water and pumping it out of the home through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge line takes the water far away from the house, and to prevent ice buildup during the cold Maine winters, IceGuard was installed. This keeps the waterproofing system functioning year-round, ensuring the basement is always dry. Finally, CleanSpace Wall System was installed where necessary and tied into the WaterGuard. Now the homeowner is free to use their basement as they originally intended, and water and mold are a thing of the past.

Jefferson, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their crawl space. The crawl space had a dirt floor, along with moisture problems that were causing the floors above to sag in one corner. To address the sagging floors we installed SmartJacks, a steel post system that is custom fit to immediately lift and level the floors above, providing proper support to failing beams and floor joists. To waterproof the crawl space, we installed our two-step encapsulation system with CleanSpace and drainage matting. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists to create an air and moisture tight seal. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona air system was added to control the humidity in the space, as well as filter out dust and mold spores.

This Greenville homeowner wanted to take care of the water in their basement before mold became an issue. Water was coming up through the floor and in past the walls. Without waterproofing the basement, the homeowner would never be able to use the space for storage. Wanting to fix their issues and protect the health of their home, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate.

System Design Specialist Adam Hamm met with the homeowner and over 90 minutes, they put together a system that would meet the needs of the homeowner and allow them to finally use the space. The system include a new Slab, WaterGuard Perimeter drain, a CleanSpace Wall system, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that is connected to a buried Discharge Line that would take the water far away from the home where it would no longer be a problem.

Now the homeowner has a beautiful space where they can store anything they need without the worry of water damaging their belongings.

Homeowners from Damariscotta, ME contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their basement. They purchased the home in the fall and by spring had noticed a 4 foot diagonal crack in their wall with water seeping in. System Design Specialist Stephen C. worked with the homeowners to address their waterproofing needs.

BrightWall panels were installed on the walls as a moisture and vapor barrier, as well as to freshen up the space. BrightWall panels are durable, easy to clean, and never discolor. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a new SuperSump Plus pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which then drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. The homeowners now have dry and usable space again!
