TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Looking for a way to keep any and all moisture out of the space below their home, this Bailey Island, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see just what we could do for them. After receiving their free estimate, they gave our crew the go-ahead to begin work on the permanent solution they were looking for. First, in order to create a vapor barrier over the exposed earth, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor and a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the entire interior of the crawlspace. This vapor barrier will block any future moisture leaking into the space before it can reach the interior of the crawlspace. This blocked water will flow through channels built into the bottom of the Drainage Matting to where it can most easily drain back into the ground without causing more problems for the homeowner. In order to expediate the water-removal, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor of the space as well. This device contains three separate pumps each working to keep this crawlspace dry year-round. The while the primary and secondary pumps work using power from the home, the third pump operates on a backup battery to ensure even during storms harsh enough to knock out power, the water-removal process continues.

These waterproofing measures will ensure this homeowner won’t need to suffer from any side effects of moisture build-up in their crawlspace in the future. The vapor barrier & TripleSafe installations will ensure this space remains dry & healthy for years to come!

Living with a regularly damp and rather unpleasant crawlspace below their home, this homeowner began to look into how they could resolve this issue. After consulting our team, they were setup with a full vapor barrier to clear the crawlspace of moisture and keep out future leaks. Now without any moisture to sustain itself, any musty smells due to mold growth will soon dissipate, leaving the homeowner with dry, healthy air in their home.

With water regularly flooding their basement, this Harpswell, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to have something done to put an end to it. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work right away by excavating a trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor of the basement. This enabled the installation of WaterGuard piping encircling the slab with pipes specialized in capturing water. After being buried by a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will trap any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future and guide it directly to the new SuperSump pump installed in the corner of the basement. The SuperSump will force any collected water up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. Finally, the basement received an encapsulation of CleanSpace. This liner covers the walls in a thin water-tight barrier, which will intercept any moisture leaking through the walls and direct it down into the WaterGuard below.

With these waterproofing measures in place, this homeowner should no longer enter their basement to find standing water or damp conditions in the future. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will work in tandem to maintain a dry basement for years to come!

Wanting to take care of the moisture issue in their Harpswell, ME, crawl space, this homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Todd Bernard met with the homeowner to discuss their goals and put together a system that would give them peace of mind.

Encapsulating the hardly-used crawl space would protect the area and home from outside elements and help keep moisture out of the crawl space, preventing mold and small critters from making it their home. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed with Spray Foam, ensuring the best seal. Finally, a Sump Liner was installed so that, if water ever becomes a problem, a sump pump can be quickly and easily installed without disrupting the CleanSpace.

The homeowner can rest easy knowing their home’s health is protected and their crawl space won’t be a home to any critters that aren’t paying bills.

This Harpswell, ME, homeowner recently purchased a new home and immediately had issues with water coming into their basement and crawl space area. Uncertain of how it comes in but appearing often, the homeowner wants to address the issue before it becomes a bigger problem or affects the health of their home. Looking for help, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Madore met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system specific to their unique situation.

To address the crawl space portion of the area, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier between the crawl space and the outside elements. CleanSpace not only brightens the area but also aids in keeping critters and moisture out. Drainage Matting creates a barrier gap and allows water to be channeled to the new SuperSump Sump Pump. The SuperSump will push all water out of the area, and because of the CleanSpace and Drainage Matting’s tough design, the crawl space is the perfect storage area for the homeowner.

The basement portion of the space needed to be addressed, and so WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed where needed and connected to another SuperSump Sump Pump. The WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which takes the water and pumps it out of the space through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge Line takes the water away from the home. The homeowner can now live in their home knowing that their basement and crawl space will no longer be an area of trouble.
