TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Concerned about mold growth and the resale value of their home, this Bridgton, Maine, homeowner wanted to get ahead of any problems caused by water and called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and discussed their concerns, with the goal of creating a waterproofing system specifically designed for this home. WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed around the basement, with TrenchDrain connected to the TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The TripleSafe Sump will pump the water through an Exterior Discharge line that will take the water far from the home, where it can't be a problem.

During springtime, the Bridgton, ME home had a tendency to welcome in water, and the homeowner was ready to tackle the problem, so they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner for a free estimate. Together, they designed a system specific to this basement that would take care of any water issue and protect the health of the home.

A WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed in front of the problem areas and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, which will channel and push water out of the basement and into an Exterior Discharge Line. To prevent ice buildup and ensure the system works year-round, IceGuard is connected. Finally, a SmartJack was installed to stabilize the floor above, completing the system and protecting the home.

A moving wall was creating problems for this Bridgton, ME, homeowner, leading to an unstable foundation and water in their basement. Wanting to get ahead of the issue before springtime when the water is worse, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner, and together they designed a waterproofing and foundation repair system that would meet the needs of the home and protect their family.

When a foundation begins to move or break down, the home would have to be lifted and a new foundation poured in its place. With StableLock Wall System, the homeowner never has to leave the comfort of their home. StableLock is a quicker and more cost-effective solution to a failing foundation using modern shoring and forming methods. StableLock fills the voids of the failing wall, stabilizing it and leaving a new, smooth wall in its place. To catch groundwater and keep the basement dry, WaterGuard was installed where needed to channel water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe sump pump features two Zoeller pumps with an included battery-powered backup pump. The battery backup pump comes on in the event of a power outage, keeping the homeowner protected from water coming into their basement and causing issues. The TripleSafe takes the water and pumps it out through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home, and with the installed IceGuard, the system is protected against ice buildup, and the system runs all year without issue. To finish the waterproofing system, the homeowner opted to have a SaniDry Sedona installed to keep the humidity in their basement at a safe level. Now the homeowner is able to enjoy their basement and use it for storage without the risk of their belongings being damaged.

We recently helped Bridgton, Maine homeowners encapsulate their damp crawl space with dirt floors. They were experiencing high moisture and wanted to avoid any damage to the structure of the home. We installed drainage matting along with CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and also helps prevent mold growth in the crawl space. We added a TripleSafe sump pump to remove ground water away from the home. TripleSafe sump systems have three pumps, one of which operates on a battery back up in the event of power loss. A SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system was also installed, which both filters the air and controls humidity in the crawl space. 

Homeowners in Oquossoc, Maine previously had a thin plastic layer installed in their crawl space to attempt to offer moisture protection. They found during heavy rains that water was coming in and getting very close to their electrical and septic systems. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help properly encapsulating the crawl space. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, consisting of drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Drainage matting controls the groundwater flow, while the CleanSpace liner is installed above to seal moisture out of the crawl space. CleanSpace is made of an inorganic material, which also helps prevent mold growth.
