TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Old Town, ME, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to address cold drafts coming through the floor of their indoor porch. They wanted a solution that would improve comfort without disrupting the appearance of the space. Our team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation would be the perfect fit for the job. We applied the spray foam to the underside of the porch flooring, creating a solid barrier to keep the cold out. After the installation, the homeowner noticed an immediate difference in temperature and was extremely pleased with how much warmer the space had become.

This Brewer, ME homeowner never liked to make use of their basement due to the constant damp conditions. They would soon change their mind once they had us over at TC Hafford Basement Systems take a look. Our crew got to work waterproofing this space by surrounding the perimeter of the basement with a WaterGuard piping system buried beneath the floor. These pipes will guide any trapped water to a new TripleSafe sump pump installed in the floor nearby. The TripleSafe will then remove the water from the basement through a discharge line. Lastly, to brighten up the space and keep any moisture on the walls under control, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place. Now this homeowner can enjoy the utility of a dry basement for the rest of their time spent in this home!

Living in Brewer, ME, this homeowner was having trouble keeping their basement dry with a crack in the wall leaking during any rainfall. Looking to quickly remedy this problem, the homeowner contacted our office staff at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we were able to set them up with a free estimate. Following their estimate, they gave us the green light and our installation crew was soon dispatched to the home to begin work. To keep water from entering the problem crack in the future, a FlexiSpan seal was applied over the top of the crack. This seal is built with a foam core to allow structure to bend slightly and remain adhered to any slight changes in the shape of the crack. Once the FlexiSpan seal was complete, a SuperSump pump was installed in the floor of the basement. This device will take in any water that otherwise would have gathered on the floors surface in a pool and force it from the home through a PVC discharge system.

Removing water at a rate over 2,600 gallons per hour, the SuperSump will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for years to come! These waterproofing installations will enable this homeowner to make use of their basement without the need to worry about water damage anymore.

For 24 years, this Orono, ME, crawl space has been damp and musty. Ready to fix the issues with their crawl space and protect their home, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes drove out to the home and worked with the homeowner to design an encapsulation system that would seal their basement up and keep moisture out.

To keep moisture out of the crawl space and get rid of the musty smell, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting needed to be installed. Drainage Matting is a tough, dimpled mat that creates a gap, protecting the CleanSpace and channels water to the low spot if a sump pump is installed. CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals the space, protecting the crawl space from moisture and small critters that can otherwise cause damage. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in the crawl space and connected to a Condensate Pump. The SaniDry Sedona keeps the humidity in the crawl space at a safe level, and with the addition of the Condensate Pump, the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket of water, and the SaniDry will always run when it is needed to. Now, the homeowner is happy as their crawl space is no longer damp and causing a musty smell to penetrate through their floors.

Moisture was a problem in this Little Deer Isle, ME, home, leading to musty orders coming from the crawl space and making its way into the home. The homeowner was ready to take care of the issue at its source, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes worked with the homeowner to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would seal up the area and keep moisture out.

The crawl space was first regraded, and CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting gets laid down first to elevate the CleanSpace and with its dimpled design, Drainage Matting helps to channel any groundwater to a sump. CleanSpace was installed and attached to the crawl space walls to encapsulate the area. CleanSpace is an inorganic and durable vapor barrier that keeps moisture and small critters out while turning the crawl space into a perfect area for storage. A SmartSump liner was installed so if groundwater becomes an issue in the future, a sump pump can be easily installed without the need to disrupt the encapsulation system. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity at a safe level to prevent mold and musty smells. The SaniDry Sedona was installed with a Condensate pump, so the homeowner never needs to worry about emptying a bucket, and the SaniDry will always run when it needs to.
