When our installation crew arrived, they moved to the crawlspace to better insulate the home. In order to help keep in the heat during the winter, Spray Foam was used to fill in gaps in the rim joists above the crawlspace. The foam covers the surfaces here and expands to provide a large barrier to resist heat transfer. This will ensure the homeowner can maintain reasonable efficiency of their air conditioning within their home.

The Spray Foam insulation being applied below this home should easily attain the results this homeowner was looking for. Their home should now stay warm for many winters to come!

A homeowner living in Belgrade, ME was having difficulties keeping their basement free of water. They had a sump pump, but the trouble was water gathering on the floor away from the pump. Looking to put an end to this flooding, the homeowner sought an answer online. They soon found us at TC Hafford and called us right away to receive their free estimate. After they heard what we could do for them they gave us the go-ahead to start work.

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they began work on installing a WaterGuard piping system. Before the pipes could be laid, a shallow trench was excavated into the perimeter of the basement floor. The WaterGuard pipes were then laid down beneath the surface of the floor and buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete. These pipes, connected directly into the sump pump, will capture any moisture leaking in through the concrete foundation. This will keep any leaks from reaching the surface of this basement floor in the future.

Next, a crack along one of the concrete walls needed to be sealed, as it was also a point where water had been leaking into this basement. To put an end to these leaks, a FlexiSpan seal would be used. This began with a primary layer of sealant being applied within and around the crack. This was then covered by a foam mat, running the length of the crack. Finally, a second layer of sealant was used to complete the FlexiSpan strcuture over the crack. This new seal will be able to shift and contort slightly to any shifting of the crack, maintaining a water-tight seal.

Thanks to these new improvements, this homeowner should no longer experience any troubles with water leaking into their basement. The WaterGuard piping will take care of any problem before they rise above the surface of the floor.

A homeowner in Belgrade was having a moisture problem in their crawlspace. This was most likely caused by a lake being so close to the house. The homeowner didn’t know how to resolve this issue until seeing an ad on the television for TC Hafford Basement Systems. After contacting us and receiving a free estimate on the cost to fix the problem, the homeowner decided to get the fix!

Our crew started by laying down a drainage matting. This will allow collected water to not get locked in the crawlspace, and find its way outside again. Then the crawlspace was completely encapsulated with CleanSpace Liner. This liner covers the entire crawlspace and prevents any moisture from making its way into the crawlspace, if any manages to get in underneath. Now water is no longer something this homeowner needs to worry about!
