TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

A realtor contacted us after their potential buyers had a home inspection that revealed a foundation wall was bulging in and needed to be addressed. We installed a StableLock Wall, which is our patented design to help repair walls exactly like this one. StableLock Wall is a new concrete wall poured adjacent to the failing wall, preventing the original wall from further shifting. We use specialized bracing to keep the home supported and safe. StableLock can be installed with no major excavation or lifting the home, making it a less costly and more convenient option for homeowners.

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!

This Harrison, ME, homeowner noticed that water would come into their basement during heavy rains. Wanting to protect their finished basement from damage, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement System for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system specific to their home.

Where needed, the carpet was pulled back so WaterGuard could be installed. Once the concrete is finished drying, the carpet can be reinstalled. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The Triplesafe features two Zoeller sumps and an additional battery backup powered sump in case of a power outage. 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.

New owners of a home in Sebago, Maine wanted to install a vapor barrier in their crawl space, as well as address their failing insulation. We installed drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture. When a crawl space does not have a vapor barrier, groundwater can easily seep into the space and over time that moisture can lead to major problems like mold or wood rot. We removed the old fiberglass insulation that was damp and falling, and installed Spray Foam insulation. Spray Foam is long lasting, and in addition to providing energy efficiency improvements, it is water and mold resistant as well.
