TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

High moisture plagued this Paris, ME crawlspace, and concerned about mold growing, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would encapsulate their crawlspace and protect their home from moisture.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed to create an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and keep moisture and critters out. CleanSpace is attached to the rim joist with Spray Foam to ensure a complete seal. SmartJacks were installed to replace rusting and deteriorating supports to keep the floor above stable and remove any bounce that the floors once had. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at safe levels and connected to a Condensate Pump so the homeowner never has to worry about draining a bucket of water. Finally, a Smart Sump Liner was installed so a sump pump can be easily added in the future if the homeowner decides to. Now that the homeowner’s crawlspace is encapsulated, their goal of protecting their home is achieved, and they now have a safe area for storage.

When this Cumberland, ME homeowner began to have moisture problems in their garage, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could help. A door connected to their garage had been allowing rainwater to leak in and gather in the entryway. After they met with our representative, our installation crew was able to get started jackhammering out the old concrete floor of the entry space. Once clear, a fresh slab was poured within the space and WaterGuard piping was installed within the perimeter of the new floor. Running below the doorway, a TrenchDrain was used to capture any water leaking directly under the door in the future. The grate on the top of the TrenchDrain rests level with the floor, allowing any water to spill right in. Finally, a SuperSump system was installed to receive any captured water and remove it from the home through a discharge line.

This homeowner can now be sure any water that would have previously entered this space will be removed from the home without pooling up on their floor. The WaterGuard piping & SuperSump pump will keep this entryway water-free for the foreseeable future!

With water constantly flooding into their basement during rainfall, this homeowner was looking to have their basement waterproofed as soon as possible. After receiving a free estimate from our sales representative, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done! The perimeter of the basement floor was excavated to make room for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the basement. This new piping system will act as a low-pressure pocket to attract any leaking moisture before it reaches the surface of the floor from below the home. This trapped water is guided through the WaterGuard to the SuperSump pump freshly installed in the floor. Once in the sump, any water is forced from the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home.

With these systems implemented successfully and working together, this Mechanic Falls, ME home is now fully waterproofed. Now any leaking moisture will be pumped from the home before any accumulation occurs on the basement floor.

For several years, these homeowners have been dealing with a moldy, messy basement. In order to use the basement more efficiently, and resell the house easily in the future, they decided to call TC Hafford. Our team of professionals installed a waterproofing system to prevent future leaks, poured a brand new concrete floor, and installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. A SaniDry Sedona will keep the humidity low to prevent future growth of mold as well. 

When this Peaks Island, ME homeowner noticed the musty smell coming from their crawlspace, there had already been a moisture problem for some time. Looking to have this remedied, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got our crew sent over to get the job done! To prevent future leakages from reaching the interior of the crawlspace, a Drainage Matting and CleanSpace liner were utilized to form a vapor barrier. This will brighten up the interior of the crawlspace and hold any moisture on the exterior of the space; allowing it to easily flow back out through the ground below. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to eliminate any moisture still present in the space. This will ensure the crawlspace remains completely moisture-free for years down the road!
