TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We replaced this customers faulty sump system with our TripleSafe Sump Pump to provide 3 levels of protection against water intrusion. 

Homeowners in Yarmouth, Maine reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with insulating their basement. They wanted to improve their energy efficiency to have savings on their utility bills. We installed Foamax on the basement walls, a paneled insulation that not only helps keep the basement warm, but also acts as a vapor barrier. In the ceiling we used Rockwool insulation, a durable option that does not sag or get damp and moldy like traditional fiberglass insulation.

We recently helped homeowners in Yarmouth, Maine to repair their leaking foundation wall. The old wall was made of fieldstone, small boulders, and ledge. We poured a new StableLock Wall to ensure the home would stay structurally sound, and to prevent water intrusion. StableLock Wall is a poured concrete wall that can be easily installed without excavation or lifting the home. It is poured against the failing wall, preventing the old wall from further shifting or bowing, while giving the space a fresh new look.

This Yarmouth, ME, homeowner had an issue with water getting into their basement and causing issues with mold and mildew that led to a funky smell in the basement. Ready to tackle the issue and make the space comfortable to use again, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Ken Castillo met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system that was specific to their home and would address all of their issues at once.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to capture groundwater and channel it to the brand new SuperSump Plus. The WaterGuard is installed under the slab and features Ports for easy maintenance. The SuperSump Plus is capable of taking the water that is channeled to it and pumping it out of the basement through a Buried Discharge Line that is protected from ice buildup with IceGuard. In high-traffic areas such as doorways and appliances, TrenchDrain was installed and connected to the WaterGuard to ensure all water is being channeled to the sump. BrightWall Panels were installed on the walls, which act as a vapor barrier and integrate into the WaterGuard to capture any water seepage from the walls. BrightWall covers the old wall, leaving a bright white finish that helps to reflect light and illuminate the basement more. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at a safe level and prevent mold and mildew from causing issues for the homeowner. Typically, homeowners have to empty a bucket of water to keep their dehumidifier working, but with the SaniDry Sedona, it drains directly to the SuperSump Plus, meaning the homeowner can travel without worrying about moisture in their basement. Now the basement is revitalized, and the homeowner is protected from moisture and water problems and can use their basement how it’s intended to be used.

A Yarmouth, ME condo owner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their basement water issues. System Design Specialist Michael M. provided a free estimate for the necessary repairs to prevent future water damage. 

Our crew worked closely with the Association to complete the repairs. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, channeling any water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control moisture in the space. TrenchDrain was placed around the oil tank and other tanks to help collect any condensation and take it to the sump pump. We also installed BrighWall, a vapor barrier for the basement walls that inhibits the growth of mold and rot, is easy to clean, and never discolors.
