Your Reliable Greenville Wet Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Contractor

A homeowner living in Greenville, ME had recently noticed that one of the walls in their basement was bowing inward. This unusual bending of the wall made the homeowner uneasy and they quickly began searching for a solution to their problem. The homeowner soon discovered our TC Hafford website and contacted us to ask about what could be done to fix their wall. We dispatched our sales representative to give the homeowner a free estimate and they soon decided on how they wanted the problem solved, giving us the go-ahead to begin work on their basement.

As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started with the installation of PowerBrace supports. These supports are cut to fit the height of the wall and are placed every few feet to better distribute the force against the wall. The PowerBrace beams are fixed to the joists in the ceiling using brackets that will allow for the beams to be tightened against the wall while the bottoms of each beam are secured to the floor with concrete screw anchors. Once fully installed, the PowerBraces will be tightened over time to readjust the wall until it reaches its original position once again.

Now this homeowner can make use of their basement without the worry of a collapsing wall damaging their property. The PowerBrace installation will ensure this wall stays right where it belongs for the future!

A homeowner living in Greenville, ME had recently noticed a musty smell in parts of their home. At first, they were unsure where this smell was coming from, but they soon discovered the problem was water leaking into their crawlspace. To put an end to the smell and the moisture problem, they searched online for a solution. Once they found TC Hafford Basement Systems they knew they found the right company to get the job done right. They called us right away for their free estimate and we got to work!

As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home they began installing a vapor barrier to keep moisture out of this crawlspace in the future. This started with a Drainage Matting being laid across the floor of the crawlspace. The Drainage Matting sits just above the floor and has many small holes throughout. This will allow for the water blocked by the barrier to flow towards where it can more easily drain away back into the ground. Next, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the crawlspace, covering all of the walls as well as the floor. This thin liner will completely lock out any outside moisture trying to enter the interior of the crawlspace. These two layers forms a vapor barrier that will soon eliminate this homeowners moisture problem.

Now once the space dries out, this homeowner will no longer need to deal with a musty smell around their home. The newly installed vapor barrier will keep this crawlspace dry for many years to come!

A couple in Greenville frequently experienced a basement with a few inches of water in it. This water was leaking in through the cement, and the homeowners needed a way to prevent this from happening in the future. After a quick internet search, they found TC Hafford Basement Systems and knew we could get the job done! They called us to receive their free estimate, and then we got to work!

To capture the water as it travels through the concrete, we installed our WaterGuard piping system underneath the inside perimeter of the basement floor. This water that finds itself inside the WaterGuard is guided to the sump in the basement, where we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This pump will maintain a dry floor, being able to handle up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour. The water is pumped out through a PVC discharge line. On the exterior of the home, we attached an IceGuard pipe piece mid-way along the discharge line. The IceGuard is designed to allow water to exit the pipe, should the lower end become blocked by ice or other debris.

These systems will just about guarantee no more water will build up on the homeowner’s basement floor!
