TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

The son of Saco, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after moving his parents' water tank and realizing they had a leak from a cracked basement wall. They met with System Design Specialist Peter F. to address their needed repairs.

Foreman Noah F. and installer Joe M. worked to place WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, and connected it to a new TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the TripleSafe, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the cracked walls to the WaterGuard. Now our homeowners and their son can relax knowing the basement is protected!

Saco, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on encapsulating their crawl space. They were tired of dealing with a cold, dusty space they felt they couldn't use. System Design Specialist Peter F. created a plan to insulate and encapsulate the space. To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. Foamax wall insulation panels were also installed to act as a moisture barrier, as well as insulate the space. The homeowners can now store their belongings without everything getting dusty, and save money on their energy bills at the same time!

Saco, ME homeowners hadn't been down into their crawl space for years when they realized it was failing. It had dirt floors and moisture coming in, ruining their old fiberglass insulation. We cleaned out the debris from the old insulation and encapsulated the space with our two-step process. First a layer of drainage matting is added to channel ground water underneath the CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that seals out water, and prevents mold growth. A SmartSump pump with UltraSump batter back up was installed to pump water away from the home. Lastly, SprayFoam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to create an air tight seal. SprayFoam will immediately provide energy savings, and gets into the nooks and crannies better than their old fiberglass insulation. The homeowners no longer have to worry about what water damage may be happening in their crawl space.

Parents wanted to help their daughter who owned a home in Saco, Maine address the issues in her crawl space. The crawl space was very damp with dirt floors, poor insulation, and they had mice coming in. We first removed the old, failing fiberglass insulation and regraded the floor. We installed our two-step encapsulation system of drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. We also installed a SmartSump with UltraSump battery backup system to ensure water was being removed away from the home. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the rim joists to create an air tight seal, keep critters out, and immediately improve the energy efficiency of the home.

Looking for a way to prevent future leakages in their basement, this homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. We set them up with a free estimate and they soon gave us the go ahead to begin work on their basement. Our installation crew began work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter in order to allow for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the floor. Hidden below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. This water is guided to the TripleSafe sump pump also installed within the floor. The TripleSafe system contains three pumps, two pumps for bulk water removal and one battery-operated pump for when the home is without power. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Equipped with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments, this discharge line is protected against ice build-up and debris blockages.

Now any moisture entering this basement through the foundation will flow through the WaterGuard piping directly into the TripleSafe pump for removal. This homeowner can now utilize their basement without needing to fear water-damage in the future!
