TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

This Lyman, ME homeowner has lived in their home for over 28 years and after that amount of time you get to know the home and it’s problems pretty well. The homeowner knew that they had moisture issues in their basement and didn’t want the issue to go unchecked too much longer. Looking to live in a healthy and safe home, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and booked a free estimate.

System Design Specialist Ron Bernard worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system for their home that would protect the health of the home and exceed the expectations of the homeowner. Mold has caused issues for the homeowner so getting the space dry was the first concern that needed to be addressed. WaterGuard was laid around the perimeter where needed and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard captures water and channels it to the TripleSafe which is powerful enough to take large amounts of water and pump it out of the basement through a Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge Line takes the water far enough from the home where it can no longer cause issues. To prevent ice buildup and ensure that the system works all year round, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge Line. In high traffic areas of the basement such as doorways, TrenchDrain was installed to capture as much water as possible and feed it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. To finish up the waterproofing system, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at a safe level where mold wont grow and the homeowners belongings wont be damaged. The Sanidry Sedona drains to the TripleSafe so the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket of water and the dehumidifier will always run as it needs to.

To finish the homeowner’s basement system, SmartJacks were installed where needed to support the floor above and remove any bounce that the floors had. SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to meet the changing needs of the home and more can be added in the future if needed without interrupting the current system. Now the homeowner’s basement is dry, moisture free and the floors above stable. The home is not only healthier, but with yearly service and the TC Hafford Basement Systems warranty, the homeowner can live in their home with true peace of mind.

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!

CleanSpace Wall System was installed, which is a durable vapor barrier and was connected to the WaterGuard. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in the space to maintain a safe humidity throughout the basement. Finally, the TripleSafe was connected to a brand new Buried Exterior Discharge line that takes the water far away from the home. To keep the system running during the winter months without any issues, IceGuard was installed to prevent ice buildup, ensuring the system never stops working. The homeowner is able to enjoy their basement without the concern of water causing them costly repairs.

This Kittery Point, ME homeowner wanted to use their basement for storage but felt uncomfortable doing so because of water problems. Looking to take care of their issue and regain control over their basement, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner to go over their concerns and design a system that would keep the home healthy and their belongings safe. First, the old sump was removed and replaced with a SuperSump that is connected to a Buried Discharge Line. The SuperSump takes all groundwater and pumps it through the Buried Discharge Line far enough from the house where it can’t cause any trouble. To keep the system running all year round without issue, IceGuard is installed to prevent ice buildup during the harsh Maine winter months. Now the homeowner is able to use their basement for storage without concern of their belongings being damaged.
