TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The homeowners of this property in South Portland wanted to protect their home against water and keep their home from sagging. TC Hafford Basement Systems was able to accomplish this by protecting the home using a variety of tools that we have available to us including, WaterGuard with a new Slab and drain matting, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, SmartJacks and Spray Foam.

With the intention of finishing their basement, this Portland, ME, homeowner wanted to address the puddles that form when it rains. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems and met with System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox to discuss waterproofing solutions for their basement. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter, with the CleanSpace Wall System attached. Water is directed to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, which pushes it out through an exterior discharge line that’s buried underground, keeping it out of sight and directing it to a location where it will no longer be an issue. The homeowner is now able to finish their basement without the risk of water damage, saving money and protecting the health of their home.

After living in their Portland, ME home for three years, this homeowner decided it was time they upgraded from the small sump they got from a hardware store when they moved in. Our crew got to work on their basement by rounding out the existing sump hole and installing a SuperSump system in the floor. This new pump will output at a rate of over 2,600 gallons of water per hour. This water exits the basement through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. Now the homeowner can be sure their sump will keep their basement floor dry during exceptionally heavy rainfall.

Andrew and his crew did a great job encapsulating this Crawl Space in Portland, ME. Now the homeowner has plenty of storage area that will be protected against  outside elements.  

While it’s normal to have some fractures in your basement slab, water should not be coming through, and it should not be crumbling. This Portland, Maine homeowner recently moved into their home and knew they needed to address the issue in their basement. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner and put together a system that would protect their home from future water damage and outside elements.

The original slab in the basement was beyond repair, and a new one was necessary. Drainage Matting is laid down to create a barrier between outside elements and the new slab. This protects the new slab and aids in keeping water where it should be. WaterGuard is set around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The new slab is poured, and TripleSafe is connected to a buried exterior discharge line that takes any groundwater away from the basement.

Your basement doesn’t have to be the scariest part of your home, and with TC Hafford Basement Systems, we can make sure that it isn’t.
