Quality Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractor in Moody, ME

Without any moisture protection in their crawlspace, this Moody, ME homeowner was in the market for a way to keep water from building up below their home. After seeing an ad on their TV, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to set up a free estimate for themselves. After meeting with our sales representative, they hired us to get started on eliminating the moisture in their crawlspace.

Upon arriving at the home, our crew got started by utilizing Spray Foam to fill in gaps between the rim joists above the crawlspace. This will help the homeowner maintain efficiency when heating or cooling their home. Next, to eliminate their moisture problem, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier was installed alongside a Condensate Pump. The SaniDry will collect the moisture in the atmosphere of this crawlspace by separating it from the damp air it pulls in. The dried air is then circulated back into the crawlspace while the water is passed to the pump for removal from the home. This process will continue until the crawlspace is once again moisture-free.

With a new dehumidifier running, this homeowner should notice any musty smells or signs of a moisture problem dissipate from their home. The SaniDry CX will maintain a dry, healthy atmosphere below this home for years to come!

Living with a flooding basement wasn’t something this Moody, ME homeowner had in mind when buying their home. Seeking methods to keep the water from their basement, the homeowner searched online for a solution. They soon discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems and called us to set up their free estimate! After reviewing their options with our sales representative, the homeowner hired us to protect their basement from future flooding.

With a concrete foundation beneath the home, our installation crew began their work on this basement by excavating a shallow trench into the floor, around the perimeter. This trench would allow our crew to lay WaterGuard piping down within the floor, surrounding the basement. Where the trench passed below a door exiting the home, a TrenchDrain pipe segment was intersected into the WaterGuard. This drain has an upward facing grate that will remain level with the surface of the floor while the WaterGuard piping is buried below a fresh layer of concrete. Within the basement floor, the WaterGuard pipes will take in any leaking moisture through slits along the edges of each pipe. The trapped water is then directed to the sump in the basement floor where it will be removed from the home without causing further problems.

The newly installed piping embedded in this homeowner basement floor will ensure the space remains water-free. The WaterGuard piping will prevent water from gathering on the surface of this basement floor for years to come!

A homeowner in Moody had a sump pump that would regularly back up. It just wasn’t powerful enough to push out all of the water that gathered in the basement. Needing to upgrade to a better sump pump, he contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems after seeing an ad for us on his television. We gave him a free estimate, then we got to work!

Upon arriving at the home, we needed to remove the old pump from the sump. After making space, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump into where the old sump was. The TripleSafe pump houses three separate pumps which each have a purpose. The first is the primary pump, which is used for most of the water. The secondary pump is for when the primary pump can’t handle all the water or malfunctions for any reason. The third and final pump is battery-operated and is for when the power goes out in the house. The TripleSafe will keep this basement dry, no matter the amount of rain. To finish this project, on the exterior of the home, we attached an IceGuard pipe piece to the discharge coming from the sump pump. This IceGuard will allow water to escape the pipe should the lower end of the line become blocked by ice or other debris. Worrying about their sump pump is now a worry of the past for this homeowner!
