Your Reliable Prospect Harbor Wet Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Contractor

A couple living in Prospect Harbor, ME had noticed the sump in their basement of their new home wasn’t keeping up with the water leaking in. This was causing flooding in their basement, which they needed dealt with right away. After searching online, they soon discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems and called us right away to receive their free estimate. They spoke with our representative and soon hired us to get the job done to better waterproof their home.

Upon arriving at the home, our installation began work on the home by installing a TripleSafe sump system in the hole existing in the basement floor already. The TripleSafe, as the name suggests, houses three individual pumps. The first and second pumps act to remove the bulk of the water gathering in the basement, with the secondary only activating if the primary pump is ever overwhelmed. The third pump is operated by a battery and will turn on to remove water during a power-outage. The water flows from the home through a PVC discharge line where it will be released onto the ground a distance from the home.

Following this discharge line outside, our crew made two final additions to the line to finish this job. The first being an IceGuard pipe segment attached just beyond where the line exits the side of the home. The IceGuard has built-in holes that are angled upward as to not impede regular water flor. These holes protect the home from blockages like ice, allowing any trapped water to escape through the previously mentioned holes. Finally, a LawnScape discharge port was attached to the end of the line to complete the waterproofing. The end of the LawnScape port is covered by a grate to keep any large debris from entering the end of the line and causing blockages.

With these improvements in place, the homeowners can now use the space without the need to worry about water damage. The TripleSafe sump system will keep this basement floor water-free for years to come!

A homeowner in Prospect Harbor was worried about how damp their crawlspace was getting. This dampness could easily lead to mold growth, and damage to the property. Seeking a way to keep moisture out of their crawlspace, the homeowner looked online. Here is where they found TC Hafford Basement Systems. The homeowner called us right away and we had our representative give her a free estimate. After she decided on what work she wanted done, our crew got to work!

In order to keep out moisture before it reached the interior of the crawlspace, we needed to install a vapor barrier. To do so, we lined the floor/wall joint around the space with a Drainage Matting. This will ideally drain away water trying to find its way to the center of the crawlspace. Next, we encapsulated the space with a CleanSpace Liner. CleanSpace is made of a thin plastic, completely locking out moisture that would have previously entered through the walls or the floor. Finally, we installed a SaniDry CX dehumidifier. The SaniDry will dry out the air within the space, and keep it that way.

Without moisture in its environment, mold cannot grow. With this new vapor barrier in place, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about mold or water damage at all!
