Job Stories

This property owner in Eastport, ME had recently noticed a crack on one of their basement walls had been leaking water into their basement. This was something the property owner wanted to fix right away but was unsure where to start. After hearing about TC Hafford Basement Systems from an acquaintance, they called us right away to set up a free estimate. Once they heard their options, they gave us the go ahead to get started on solving their wet basement problem! As soon as our installation crew arrived at the property, they began work on sealing the crack by clearing away any loose debris using a coarse brush on the crack. This would allow our seal to better adhere to the wall. To begin the FlexiSpan installation, a primary layer of sealant was applied within and slightly around the trouble crack. A foam mat was immediately laid over the sealant, which gives the FlexiSpan its namesake by allowing the finished seal to bend to accommodate any slight shifts in the shape of the crack in the future. Finally, a second sealant layer was applied over the top of the foam to complete the FlexiSpan seal. With the crack taken care of, this property owner no longer needs to worry about a potentially flooding basement. The FlexiSpan seal will keep this basement floor dry for years to come!

Homeowners from Eastport, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for support with their crawl space. They had moisture issues in the crawl space, which in turn was causing sagging floors above in their home. To stabilize the failing floors we installed SmartJacks, a galvanized steel post system that is custom fit to immediately lift and level the floors above. To waterproof the crawl space we installed CleanSpace with drainage matting, a vapor barrier system that seals out moisture and prevents mold growth. We also installed a SmartSump pump to remove any ground water away from the home. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system was added to control the humidity in the crawl space, as well as keep the air healthy by filtering out dust and mold spores. The homeowners can enjoy level floors and healthy air for years to come!
