TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

At this Bingham, ME, home, water intrusion has led to a damaged freezer and heating unit. Ready to solve the problem and protect their home and belongings from further damage, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate.

System Design Specialist Adam Hamm met with the homeowner to discuss their concerns and design a system that would surpass their expectations and protect the health of the home. Water was coming up through a floor drain, leading to as much as three feet of standing water. To ensure that water would not flood the basement, a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed and connected to an exterior buried discharge line with IceGuard. IceGuard prevents ice buildup during the cold season, keeping the system running all year round.

The homeowner is now protected against water intrusion and can relax, knowing they won’t have to replace expensive appliances again because of flooding.

Without gutters on your home, a mix of problems can arise that could eventually lead to costly damage, resulting in an unhealthy home. Water running off of your home's roof can lead to soil erosion, foundation damage, and eventually basement flooding, resulting in mold growth and damaged property. Clogged gutters can lead to even more damage, including water damage on your ceilings and walls. Knowing these issues and wanting to avoid any damage to their home, this Skowhegan, ME, homeowner called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for help.

System Design Specialist Josh Hamel met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a Gutter Shutter system that would provide protection and keep them safe, as they would never have to worry about cleaning any clogs. Gutter Shutter's unique design allows debris such as pine needles and leaves to slide off, only letting water into the system. The larger 6-inch gutter allows for more water to flow, and the tough shutter keeps the gutter safe from ice damage during the harsh Maine winter months. Gutter Shutter is available in multiple colors, giving the homeowner many options to choose from, whether they wish to pick gutters that blend into their home or use them as an accent that matches their window shutters.

The home is now protected, and the homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is safe from water damage and that they won’t have to climb a ladder to clean any clogs.

When the homeowner in Appleton, Maine, first contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems, their crawl space was a major concern. They had noticed uneven floors and signs of moisture buildup, which could lead to long-term damage if not addressed. The crawl space had no moisture barrier in place, and the support beams were beginning to weaken under the strain. Without proper protection, the space was prone to mold growth and structural instability, making the home’s foundation vulnerable.

Following our comprehensive evaluation, we installed a SmartJack system, providing the essential support to stabilize the floor above and correct the unevenness that had been a source of worry. Next, we fitted the CleanSpace liner system, which sealed off the crawl space from outside moisture, ensuring a dry and healthy environment. Finally, the installation of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier guaranteed that humidity levels would stay low, keeping the crawl space mold-free and well-protected.

The transformation was remarkable. What was once an unstable and damp space became a solid, dry, and secure foundation for the home. The homeowner was greatly satisfied with the end result, knowing that their crawl space was not only stabilized but fully protected against future issues.

These homeowners in Thomaston, ME were ready to upgrade their basement and crawlspace into a more pleasant space. After normal movement and pressure against the foundation walls, they've experienced some water leaking in and damaging the walls and floors. The crawl space became difficult to walk through, and the moisture made the air quality very poor. 

We were called to give an estimate to repair this space. A system design specialist went out and designed a complete system custom for this space to keep it dry all the time. A SmartSump pump system was installed to collect and drain any water that enters the space. IceGuard allows the water to flow from the sump pump out through the discharge line without freezing. Our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system was installed in the crawl space with Drainage Matting underneath. We also recommended a SaniDry to control odors, mold and humidity. 

The space is now dry, clean, odorless, and safe. The best part it, it will stay like this for the life of the home! With yearly servicing we can ensure it all works perfectly and add on whenever necessary. 

Before TC Hafford Basement Systems arrived, the homeowner in Thomaston, Maine, was facing significant structural and water issues in their basement. Water was consistently entering the basement, even on dry days. This was not just an inconvenience but a growing concern for the homeowner, as the structural integrity of the foundation and the persistent water problem needed immediate attention.

After our comprehensive assessment, we installed a WaterGuard system to collect and redirect water before it could enter the basement. A trench drain was added for maximum water capture, and the SuperSump Plus was installed to efficiently pump water away from the home. To further safeguard the basement, we applied the CleanSpace wall system, as well as Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation, which would aid preventing moisture from penetrating the foundation walls. IceGuard was integrated into the system to protect the sump pump discharge lines during freezing conditions. The homeowner was left extremely satisfied with a dry and secure basement, and peace of mind that their foundation was protected for the future.
