TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Walking into your basement and stepping in a puddle is never a good sign. This Gorham, ME homeowner purchased this 1930’s home over 5 years ago and wants to make this their forever home but were nervous about water and the condition of their foundation. Wanting to tackle the issues of the basement, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement System for a free estimate on protecting the health of their home. System Design Specialist Foster Blake met with the homeowner, and they worked together to address all concerns, including the water coming in, the foundation, and mold.

Starting from the ground up, this home needed a new slab. With the old one as cracked and broken as it was, water would come up and form puddles. Before the new slab was poured, Drainage Matting was laid, and WaterGuard Interior Basement Drain was placed around the perimeter of the basement. The WaterGuard is connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that takes the water and pushes it out of a discharge line, so the water will no longer be an issue. Moisture in the air is still a concern, as high humidity leads to mold growth. To combat moisture, a SaniDry Sedona was installed, maintaining optimal humidity.

The homeowner can live in their forever home without being concerned about the health of their home. It is easy to forget that if you buy a two-story home with a bad basement, then that is 1/3 of your home that cannot be utilized. The homeowner now has the ability to use their basement as they see fit and can finish it without worry.

Homeowners in Gorham, Maine were experiencing an unpleasant odor from their old sump pump pit area. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to replace their old sump. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps and a third battery backup pump, and it can handle a capacity of over 6,000 gallons of water per hour if needed. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry not only controls humidity to a healthy level, but it removes allergens and odors from the air.

We helped Biddeford, Maine homeowners address their leaky basement and bowing foundation wall. To address the water, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump that connects to their new WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard captures the water and brings it to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller pumps and a third battery backup pump to ensure your home is protected at all times. PowerBraces were installed on the bowing foundation wall to prevent further shifting. PowerBraces can be tightened over time to help try to straighten the wall back to its original position.

We also applied Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation to seal air gaps and enhance energy efficiency. The transformation was remarkable. Once plagued by water damage and high humidity, the crawl space is now dry and energy-efficient. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome, knowing their home is better protected for the future.
