Job Stories

Homeowners from North Hampton, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their damaged finished basement. Water had come into the space causing damage to the floors and walls. Our System Design Specialist Mike P. came up with a plan to give the homeowners peace of mind moving forward.   We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, and connected to a new TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the TripleSafe, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe also has an UltraSump Battery Back-Up. The inclusion of the UltraSump Battery Back-Up is important to keep water out of the basement even during power outages, which tend to be very common in New England during big storms. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard.    Our homeowners now have a dry, usable space that they no longer have to worry about being ruined from water again!

Our North Hampton, NH homeowner was tired of their freezing cold crawlspace affecting their home temperature and heating bills, and also had leaking in their separate basement area. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help remedying their 1800's home. System Design Specialist Mike P. met with the homeowner to find the best solution to seal their crawlspace and keep their basement dry.   To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill.   A SuperSump Plus system with WaterGuard 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. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to protect the space from future moisture. Now the homeowner is enjoying a warmer home, cheaper energy bills, and more dry, usable space!

A North Hampton, NH homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their leaky basement issues. They said their tiny basement for their tiny home was having BIG water issues. System Design Specialist Rick R. met with the homeowner to evaluate their specific needs.   Water was leaking in around the perimeter of the basement, so WaterGuard was installed to catch the water and channel it to a SuperSump Plus system. The SuperSump Plus pumps the water through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes it far from the home. The Discharge line is protected against ice buildup during the winter months with the installation of IceGuard. To take care of any humidity in the basement, a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is set up with an additional line attached to the SuperSump so the homeowner no longer has to go into the basement to empty their old dehumidifier. Now their space is dry and fully functional for much needed added square footage.

A recent basement waterproofing project in North Hampton, NH, demonstrates our team’s commitment to delivering reliable solutions and remarkable service. We were contacted by a real estate agent on behalf of a buyer preparing to purchase a house. The home inspection had discovered water penetrating the basement through a foundation crack, which posed a significant obstacle in the property sale. Our Customer Care Specialist promptly scheduled an inspection with one of our experienced System Design Specialists, who conducted a thorough assessment of the basement. We determined that the combination of a foundation crack and inadequate moisture management was allowing water infiltration, which could potentially lead to mold growth and further structural issues. Based on the findings, we recommended installing our TripleSafe Sump Pump system and the CleanSpace Wall System. The TripleSafe system ensures comprehensive protection against water intrusion, offering redundancy with its two distinct pumps, including a battery backup for power outages. CleanSpace provides an effective barrier, which prevents moisture from entering through the walls, helping maintain a dry environment within the basement. Our skilled production team installed the solutions with precision.  Upon completion, the homeowner’s basement was transformed into a dry, secure space, eliminating the moisture issues and increasing the property’s marketability. Our systems provide long-term peace of mind, ensuring that the basement remains dry and usable regardless of the weather. This job not only met the immediate needs of keeping the home dry but also aligned with our mission to provide WOW service to facilitate the sale of the home.

We recently helped a previous customer who loved our SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier so much they wanted to get one for their daughter's basement. We installed the new SaniDry Sedona, which controls humidity to a healthy level to keep moisture down, by removing up to 100 pints of water per day. The SaniDry also has a MERV8 filter that stops allergens like mold spores and dust, keeping the air healthy in the basement and the home.

Homeowners in Madbury, New Hampshire were experiencing their basement flooding every spring. One of the culprits of the water intrusion was their old, leaky bulkhead doors. We installed new bulkhead doors which close flush to prevent water coming, and also enhance the exterior aesthetic of the home. 

For Ruth from Alton, having a wet basement was nothing new. But it became time something got done to ratify that situation. Ruth went to the internet to find a way to fix her basement, and this brought her to us. Once contacted, we did a full inspection to find just what was causing the problem. After locating the issue, we laid out what could be done to fix the problem and how much these options would cost. Ruth decided on what she wanted done, and we got to work! To start work on the basement, we dug out the perimeter of the foundation. This allowed for us to insert our WaterGuard system, which catches all water entering the basement through the floor or walls. This caught water is then lead to a sump pump, that pushes the water outside. Once outside, to ensure the water will flow even in freezing temperatures, we installed an IceGuard filter to do just that. Finally, we positioned a SaniDry XP dehumidifier in the basement. This dehumidifier will keep any remaining or future moisture out of the air. Ruth no longer has a wet basement!

Rich, out in Portsmouth, NH, was renting out one side of a duplex, however, the crawlspace underneath was causing problems. This crawlspace had dirt floors, and would flood frequently during heavy rains. This would lead to a lot of moisture in the air underneath the building, causing mold and rot to form in the wood. After receiving a piece of mail directly from TC Hafford Basement Systems, Rich decided it was the right choice to contact us. Shortly after, Peter Folsom investigated the crawl space, and a crew came over to get to work. In order to help keep water out, Drainage Matting was implemented on top of the dirt floor, along with a WaterGuard system to direct the water outside. Finally, a FloodRing was created to prevent any water that did manage to enter the crawlspace from spreading. Now with a newly protected basement and crawl space, Rich has peace of mind when allowing guests to rent his duplex during heavy rain storms.

A homeowner in Portsmouth, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems looking for help with their humid basement. They were noticing musty air and bad smells coming into the house. We installed a SaniDry Sedona, the world's most efficient dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona can remove 100 pints of water per day from the air, while also filtering out allergens like mold spores. With the humidity under control, bad smells disappear, keeping the home healthy.
