TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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.

These homeowners in Saco, Maine were dealing with a damp crawl space. They contacted TC Hafford who arrived to help them with their issue. Our System Design Specialist determined that a complete encapsulation would greatly reduce the moisture in the crawl space, and the homeowners agreed. 

Our team of professionals installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner, which is specially designed to be a preventative barrier keeping out moisture, humidity, and pests. 

Have you ever walked into a room of your home and felt the floor bounce? What about cracks in the walls? Along with cracked tiles and uneven spaces under baseboards, these are all signs that your home’s floor is sagging and that structural issues are developing. This Saco, Maine homeowner noticed these issues and wanted to take care of the problem as soon as possible. System Design Specialist Brian Donnelly worked with the homeowner to rectify the issue and protect their home from any further damage. They worked together to create a solution that would fix the sagging issues and protect the crawl space from outside elements.

To address the sagging floors, SmartJacks were installed with a Steel Supplemental Beam. SmartJacks replaced the current supports, as seen in the photos. The homeowner opted to encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace and Spray Foam. With the system installed, outside elements are kept out, and the crawl space can be used for storage without the fear of moisture causing any damage. Groundwater will be removed by the installed SmartSump and taken out of the crawl space through a buried discharge line. To round out the system, the homeowner also decided to purchase a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity at a safe level, meaning they will have peace of mind moving forward, knowing that their crawl space is protected and the structural integrity of their home is intact.

The homeowners were experiencing some water in their basement through the walls and the old window. They wanted to solve the problem, prevent future issues, and eliminate moisture and humidity. After contacting TC Hafford Basement Systems, a team of specialists were able to successfully solve all of these issues. A System Design Specialist determined that the space was in need of a CleanSpace encapsulation system with Drainage Matting. They Installed a new SaniDry XP Basement Air System to keep the humidity low, and a new window to help with leaks. 

After experiencing dampness in their basement for some time, this Harrison, ME homeowner hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to solve their wet basement problem. To protect this space from moisture in the future, the existing slab was excavated from the basement to make room for a completely waterproof slab installation. With a freshly poured slab, our crew installed a Drainage Matting beneath the surface, along with a CleanSpace liner to wrap the walls of the basement. A SuperSump pump was also installed in the new floor, providing a means for any gathering moisture to be pumped out and away from the home. Now water leaking in through the walls or up from below the floor will be blocked by the new vapor barrier and redirected back out of the home through either the ground or the sump.

These basement upgrades will enable this homeowner to make use of their basement once again without the fear of water damage. The new vapor barrier will ensure their basement remains dry in the future!
