Your Dependable Hancock County, ME Wet Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Experts

Adam and Kate had been having issues with a water drain in their basement. The drain would overflow during heavy rain and start to flood their basement. This was something they wanted fixed ASAP, so they turned to the Yellow Pages for help. After Adam & Kate contacted us, our foreman Bill Niles and his crew got to work.

The old drain, which would flood, was dug out of the basement, and replaced with a SuperSump sump pump. This was connected to the outside, through an IceGuard pipe. IceGuard pipes are specially crafted to allow for water to continue to be pumped outside even if the lower end of the drainage pipe is blocked by debris or ice. These new additions are sure to keep Adam and Kate’s home dry, even during intense storms.

A homeowner in Bucksport contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems after seeing an ad on his television. This homeowner had a few simple questions; was the water coming in through the wall a big problem, and what could be done to fix it. These questions were quickly answered by us once we arrived and took a look. After the homeowner chose what he wanted done, we got to work!

The water coming in through the walls of the basement would collect on the floor and then travel across the basement. To prevent this, we dug up the perimeter of the basement floor, and installed a WaterGuard pipe system around the entire basement. This pipe will catch water as it flows down from the walls or up from the ground and channel it to the sump. The homeowner chose to go with an UltraSump sump pump, to push the collected water out of his basement through a discharge line. On the exterior of the home, we fitted a piece of the discharge line with an IceGuard pipe. This piece will allow water to continue to flow even if the lower end of the discharge line is blocked by ice or debris. This homeowner no longer needs to worry about a wet basement.

Jeff from Deer Isle had a crack in the wall of his Basement. Once he noticed water was spilling in through this crack, he had to have something done to fix it. Jeff took to the internet to find a solution for this problem. He came across TC Hafford Basement Systems, and knew we were the ones for the job.

After being contacted, we had a representative take a look at the crack to see what the best solution was. Once decided, our crew got to work installing FlexiSpan. The first part of this process is to inject the crack with a sealant. This sealant is the first of three layers that make up FlexiSpan. Secondly, we apply a foam matting over the sealant, which acts as barrier for any water that makes it by the sealant. Finally, a second layer of sealant is placed over the foam, sealing it against the crack. This procedure locks out any moisture from trying to enter through the crack, keeping the basement try in three steps. The structure of the FlexiSpan also allows it to contort, should the wall shift at all. Maintaining the seal.

A homeowner in Franklin had a concrete basement, which would commonly become damp when it would rain. This was starting to become an issue, so he looked for a solution in the Yellow Pages. This solution was TC Hafford Basement Systems. After receiving the call, we had a representative head to the home to see what could be done. We went over the potential fixes with the homeowner, then got to work!

To start, we excavated the interior perimeter of the basement. This would make way for the WaterGuard piping system. This system captures water as it enters the basement through the floor or walls. Now that the water coming in is isolated, it is directed towards a SmartDrain which will take the water out of the basement. Now this homeowner can use the basement for whatever he pleases without the fear of water damage.

A homeowner came to TC Hafford shortly after adding on to their home. This addition seemed to have caused some problems in their basement. A crack had formed in one of the corners, and water was easily leaking in during rain. This was a problem that couldn’t be overlooked, and we had a representative head to the home to give the homeowner a free estimate. After the homeowner decided on what they wanted done to fix their problem, our crew got to work!

We started by filling this crack with sealant. This acts as the first line of defense against rain water trying to enter. Over the top of this sealant, we secure a foam matting. This matting is the second barrier keeping water out. Finally, another layer of sealant is added over the top of the foam. This completes the FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan gets its name from being able to bend and change shape to maintain alignment with the crack should any part of the wall shift. We then installed a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier to dry out the moist air built up in the basement. Now even if moisture should enter through other openings, the SaniDry XP will keep the atmosphere in the basement moisture free.

A homeowner in Sullivan was having trouble with an extremely wet basement. There seemed to be no way to keep it dry, and they needed help. Soon after they heard about TC Hafford from another satisfied customer, they got in touch. We had a representative head over to the home to inspect the basement, and give a free estimate. Once the homeowner decided on what solution they wanted, we got to work!

The first thing that needed to be done was to excavate the interior perimeter of the basement, Once this area was dug up, we installed a WaterGuard pipe system. This is a special kind of pipe that will capture all the water entering in through the walls or up from underneath the basement. This system is then cemented into place with concrete. We then installed a TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard will guide the collected water to this pump, where it will be pushed up and out of the basement. The TripleSafe pump is unique in that it contains three separate pumps. One primary pump, a backup pump in case there is too much water for the first, and a final, battery operated pump to keep the basement dry should the power go out. The water is pumped through PVC up and out of the basement, and once outside, travels through an IceGuard filter we attached. The IceGuard will allow for the water to continue to exit the basement; even if the lower end of the discharge line is blocked by ice or debris. Finally, we installed a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. This is to maintain a dry atmosphere within the basement should any moisture still find its way into the basement air. Now moisture is the last thing this homeowner needs to be worried about.

Lindsey in Stonington was having trouble with water gathering in her basement. This was an immediate problem for her because she had her home on the market. Before she could sell the home, she needed to fix this leak. She heard about TC Hafford from a friend and knew exactly who could solve her problem!

Lindsey made the call and we got to work on her basement! We started by excavating the interior perimeter of the basement, and then installed a WaterGuard piping system. This lines the interior perimeter, just underneath the floor. The WaterGuard will then catch all the water entering the basement through the walls or floor, transporting it toward the sump. This is where we placed a SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump will push all the collected water up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. Following this line, we attached an IceGuard piece outside the home. This IceGuard will allow water to continue to flow even if the lower end of the discharge line is blocked by ice or other debris. Now Lindsey can keep her home on the market without worrying about water in the basement!

Bill from Brooksville was looking for a way to waterproof his basement. He was looking to finish his basement, and needed a way to guarantee his basement would stay dry. He saw an ad for TC Hafford on TV, and knew we would be the ones who could get the job done. He gave us a call and we gave him a free estimate. After Bill decided what he wanted done, we started work on his basement!

We began by digging up the interior perimeter of the basement. This made way for us to install a WaterGuard pipe system. This piping will catch water as it enters through the floor or walls and direct it to the sump. The WaterGuard system is then covered over with concrete to seal it inside the floor. Next, we installed a SuperSump sump pump in the sump. This will take the collected water from the WaterGuard and pump it up and out of the basement. We attached an UltraSump backup battery to the SuperSump to ensure it will continue to pump water even if the power to the home should go out.

For the final steps of waterproofing this basement, we needed to cover up two cracks in the basement wall. To do this, we used FlexiSpan. FlexiSpan is a three step process that starts with an injection of sealant into the cracks themselves. This sealant is covered in a foam mat, which helps add to the structure of the FlexiSpan by making it flexible. The mat is covered in a second layer of sealant to finish the FlexiSpan. Finally, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier to maintain a dry atmosphere within the basement. Now Bill will have a dry basement that he can finish without worry off water damage.

Katie in Brooklin was in need of some basement waterproofing. Her basement was letting water in through the walls and floor during rain. This could lead to mold growth or water damage, both of which the homeowner wanted to prevent. To keep the water out of her basement, Katie called TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done. We had a representative there shortly after the call to give her a free estimate, then we started on the solution!

We needed to excavate the interior perimeter of the basement, removing several inches of concrete. This allowed us to emplace a WaterGuard pipe system; which was then covered over with rocks and cement to seal it into the floor. Once in place, the WaterGuard will collect water as it enters the basement through the walls or floor. After capturing this water, the WaterGuard directs it to the sump. In the sump, we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This will take the gathered water and force it up a PVC pipe out of the basement. On the exterior of the home, following the discharge line from the sump, we attached an IceGuard filter along the pipe. This will guarantee water being pumped out of the basement will not become blocked by ice or debris; always having a way to escape the pipe, and exit the basement. Now this homeowner can rest assured their wet basement problems are a thing of the past.

A homeowner in Sorrento had a basement that would always gather water during heavy rain. This prevented the basement from becoming usable space. She needed a way to stop this water damage from happening, so she took to the internet to find her solution; this is where she found TC Hafford Basement Systems. She got into contact with us, received her free estimate, and decided to go ahead and get the work done!

To start with the job, we dug out the interior perimeter of the basement floor. This created a place for us to lay down a WaterGuard pipe. This WaterGuard system is specially designed to capture water as it enters the basement walls and floor, then guide it out of the basement. In this case, we installed a SmartDrain for the water to escape through. Finally, we placed a SaniDry XP within the basement to maintain a dry atmosphere even if moisture were to make it into the basement air. Now this basement is not only usable space, but it will remain perfectly dry should it be used in the future.

Bruce from Aurora had two cracks in his basement wall, which would leak water into the basement on a regular basis. Bruce needed this to stop, because the water coming in could lead to water damage; or even worse mold growth. Soon after seeing an ad for TC Hafford Basement Systems on his television, Bruce gave us a call and received his free estimate. We had our crew head over to the home and got to work!

We started by digging up a trench around the inside perimeter of the basement floor. This made way for us to lay down a WaterGuard pipe system. This is then covered over with loose rocks and concrete to conceal it within the floor while not hindering functionality. The WaterGuard system captures water as it enters the basement through the walls or floor. Next, we started fixing the cracks with FlexiSpan. We applied the first layer of sealant directly to the cracks, this is the primary barrier against moisture entering the cracks. The sealant is then covered with a foam matting. This gives the FlexiSpan its flexible nature. Finally, a second layer of sealant is added over the foam to hold it all in place, locking any moisture completely outside the crack. Now Bruce can live without fear of water damage in his basement!

A homeowner in Sunset was experiencing trouble with their crawlspace gathering water during rain. The crawlspace was at a slant, and as water entered, it would form a large puddle at the bottom of the slant. This was causing a bad smell throughout the house, and the homeowner needed a way to fix this. They heard about TC Hafford Basement Systems from a friend and called us the next day. We had a representative out at the home shortly after to inspect the crawlspace and give a free estimate. The homeowner gave us the go ahead and our crew got to work!

The first thing we did was remove some of the dirt from the basement to attempt to level it out more, and give us more room to work with. After this, we laid a Drainage Matting around the perimeter of the crawlspace. This will hold back the water and give it time to drain from the crawlspace before it can cause any damage. To finish this project, we encapsulated the crawlspace with a CleanSpace Liner; which is a plastic sheet that will lock out any moisture trying to enter the space. This CleanSpace Liner will keep the crawlspace dry for many years to come, eliminating the smell!

A homeowner in Winter Harbor had a basement which would take on a significant amount of airborne moisture during rains.

The homeowner got online to find a solution, and after a quick Google search, they found TC Hafford Basement Systems. Soon after being contacted, we had a representative take a look at the basement to give the free estimate; then we got to work!

To prevent moisture buildup in the air, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. This dehumidifier will take in the surrounding moist air, dry it out, and push it out into the basement. This new flow of air will circulate other moist air back towards the SaniDry to be dried, continuing the cycle until the basement air is moisture free. The dry conditions in the basement will eliminate the musty smell throughout the home, and dramatically reduce the chance for mold to grow within the basement. Now these homeowners no longer need to deal with a bad smell, with their dry basement air!

A homeowner in Bass Harbor had a problem with water leaking into his basement. This water would gather into pools, and then begin to flood the basement.

We received the call and dispatched a representative to inspect the basement, then give a free estimate to the homeowner. They decided on what options worked best for them, and we started work!

We began by digging up the interior perimeter of the basement floor. This gave us a trench to lay down our WaterGuard pipe system. These pipes are then covered over with loose rocks and cement to home it in place. It will then capture water as it tries to enter the basement through the walls or floor. Next, we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This will take the water collected in the WaterGuard pipes and force it up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. Once outside the house, we attached an IceGuard section to the discharge line. This will allow water to continue to flow should the lower end of the discharge line become blocked by ice or other debris. Now this homeowner can rest assured their belonging will no longer be at risk of water damage, thanks to WaterGuard!

A business owner in Northeast Harbor was having trouble with water gathering in their basement, and damaging supplies. This needed to stop as soon as possible, so they looked around for solutions.

We had a representative dispatched to the business to inspect the basement and give a free estimate. Shortly after the business owner decided on what work they wanted done, we began the fix!

To allow for the emplacement of our WaterGuard system, we needed to begin by excavating the interior perimeter of the basement floor. Once we got the WaterGuard in place, it was layered over with loose rocks and cement. This allowed the WaterGuard to still function normally while remaining hidden beneath the floor. The WaterGuard will capture water as it enters through the walls or floor and guide it to the sump. In the sump, we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This pump will take the collected water and push it up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. On the exterior of the business, we attached an IceGuard filter to the discharge line. This will guarantee water will continue to flow even if the lower end of the pipe becomes blocked by ice or other debris. Now this business owner can conduct business normally without the need to worry about their supplies being damaged by water.

A new homeowner in Seal Harbor was noticing their crawlspace was damp in certain areas and they were looking to get this addressed.

To begin the sealing of the crack, we cleaned out the crack with a wire brush to remove any loose dirt or debris from the crack. Next, we placed small tubes along the crack every foot or so. We then plastered sealant over the top of the crack to create a cavity inside the crack, that the tubes could reach. Finally, to fill in the crack and seal out water, we injected Polyurethane in through the tubes we left in the crack. This will spread and fill the entire crack, solidifying and sealing out moisture permanently. Now this crack flooding the basement is no longer something this homeowner needs to worry about.

To give the homeowners a functioning sump, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is composed of three pumps. The primary pump handles the bulk of the water. While the secondary pump will take on the bulk should the primary fail for any reason. The third pump is a battery backup pump, which will only switch on should the power go out. The water gathered in the TripleSafe will be pumped out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. On the outside of the home, we attached an IceGuard filter to the line. This IceGuard will allow water to continue to flow from the basement in the event that the lower end of the pipe becomes blocked by ice, or any other debris.

Now this couple can rest assure that water will no longer pool up around their sump, but will be forced out of the basement, thanks to their TripleSafe pump.

A homeowner in Southwest Harbor owned a home with a damp crawlspace. The space would usually take on water during rain, and then the water would persist within the space for several days afterword. This created a very moist atmosphere, the perfect environment for mold growth. Asking around for potential solutions, the homeowner was quickly referred to TC Hafford Basement Systems. They called us right away and we were on the job!

To begin, we laid a Drainage Matting along the wall/floor joint surrounding the crawlspace. This mat will hold back some of the moisture entering through the soil, giving it time to drain back out. We then encapsulated the crawlspace with a CleanSpace Liner. CleanSpace is a thin plastic sheet that covers the floor, and all of the walls within the crawlspace to lock out any water that would have otherwise leaked in.

With these two barriers in place, moisture will no longer be able to access this crawlspace; Protecting this homeowner from any problems involving mold, or water damage.

A homeowner in Gouldsboro had a basement prone to leaks. During heavy rains, water would come in through one corner of his dirt basement and cover the floor. This was a great way to grow a mold problem, or sustain water damage to the home. Needing professional help, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems after hearing about us from a family friend. We had a representative inspect the space, then our crew got to work!

This homeowner needed a proper vapor barrier, so we began by lining the inside perimeter of the basement with a Drainage Matting. This will hold back a portion of the moisture entering through the walls and allow it to drain back out through the floor. We then covered the basement in a CleanSpace Liner. This liner covers everything except for the ceiling, holding back any moisture that would otherwise have flooded the basement. Finally, we installed SaniDry XP dehumidifier. The SaniDry will take in the surrounding air, remove any moisture, and push the air our into the far reaches of the basement. This creates a loop where the dry air forces more moist air back towards the SaniDry until all of the air has been dehumidified.

Now that TC Hafford Basement Systems have given this basement a proper vapor barrier, this homeowner shouldn’t need to worry about any form of water damage!

Cathy from Bernard was having trouble with water leaking into her basement through the corners. The water would be pushed in during heavy rains by what is known as hydrostatic pressure.

We began by digging out a trench encircling the basement floor. This is where we laid our WaterGuard piping system. This system will capture water as it enters the basement through the cement, and guide it to the sump. The WaterGuard is then covered with loose rocks and cement to hide it without stopping its function. We then installed a SmartSump sump pump, with an UltraSump backup battery attached. This will remove all the water collected by the WaterGuard, and remove it through a PVC discharge line. Even should the power go out in the home, the UltraSump will keep the pump pumping in any weather! Finally, we attached an IceGuard pipe piece to the discharge line on the exterior of the home. This will allow water to continue to flow even if the lower end of the pipe becomes blocked by ice or other debris.

With these systems in place, Cathy will never need to worry about a leaking basement again!

A homeowner in Prospect Harbor was worried about how damp their crawlspace was getting. This dampness could easily lead to mold growth, and damage to the property.

As soon as our installation crew was on site, they got to work beneath the home by laying a Drainage Matting across the ground in the crawlspace. Over the top of this, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace. With the CleanSpace completely locking out moisture, any water build up can easily drain back into the ground through the Drainage Matting. Finally, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier was installed in the crawlspace to eliminate any airborne moisture from the space. This will prevent any mold growth from forming in the future and soon eliminate any musty smell.

Now this homeowner can breathe easily knowing their crawlspace is no longer susceptible to mold growth or other moisture problems. The new vapor barrier will keep out any and all outside moisture.

With a crack along one of their basement walls, a homeowner living in Mount Desert, ME was beginning to experience some water troubles. Without a way to seal the crack, this homeowner had no way to stop outside water from leaking onto their basement floor. They soon saw an ad for TC Hafford on their TV and called us to receive a free estimate. After hearing their options, they decided to have us get the job done right away.

Once our installation crew arrived on the scene, they started work on this crack by brushing it clear of debris with a coarse brush. Then the first layer of sealant was applied within and around the crack. A foam mat was then place along the length of the crack, covering the first layer of sealant. Finally, a seconad layer of sealant was applied over the top of the foam, completing what is known as a FlexiSpan seal. As the name suggests, the FlexiSpan can adjust to slight changes in the shape of the crack thanks to the foam core. This will now keep out any future leaks that would have otherwise ended up across this basement floor.

Now that the crack below their home has been sealed successfully, this homeowner now has peace of mind during any rainfall. The FlexiSpan seal will keep water out of this basement for many years to come!

This homeowner living in Gouldsboro, ME was having trouble keeping water off their basement floor. Even with a concrete foundation, rainwater would still somehow enter the basement and gather across the floor. Looking to have these damp conditions dealt with for good, the homeowner searched online for a solution. Once they discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems they called us right away to set up their free estimate. After hearing their options, the homeowner hired us to get the job done!

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they began work on the floor of this basement right away. First, a shallow trench was excavated into the perimeter of the concrete floor. Within this new trench, WaterGuard piping was laid, surrounding the basement. These pipes were then buried beneath a layer of rocks and a coat of fresh concrete. This will conceal the pipes without hindering their function. The bottom edge of each pipe has a small slit that allows any leaking moisture to be absorbed into the WaterGuard. This water is then guided beneath the surface of the floor directly to the sump to be removed from the home.

Within the sump, we installed a TripleSafe pump system. This device houses three pumps, each activating in turn to keep this basement completely water-free. The first and second pumps are both utilized to handle the bulk of the water-removal, with the secondary pump only activating when the primary pump cannot handle the amount of water needing to be pumped from the home. The third pump is a battery-operated backup pump. This will keep the basement dry even if the home was to lose power. All of the water being pumped out of the home by the TripleSafe follows a PVC discharge line.

With these additions to their basement, this homeowner will no longer need to get involved with removing any water from below their home. The WaterGuard piping and TripleSafe system will ensure this basement floor remains dry.

A homeowner living in Southwest Harbor, ME was having some water troubles in their basement. Water would gather across the surface of the basement floor if too much water entered the space for their sump to handle.

They soon discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems and called us right away to set up their free estimate. They liked the sound of what we could get done in the space and hired us to get started!

When our installation crew arrived at the home they began by installing a SuperSump sump pump within the existing sump pit; making some minor adjustments to the size of the hole. The SuperSump will now take in water trying to gather on this basement floor and pump it out of the home through a discharge line. An UltraSump backup battery was attached to a nearby wall and connected to the SuperSump. The UltraSump will allow the SuperSump to remain operational during any power outages that would otherwise impair the system.

Outside the home, two additions were made to the discharge line that carries the water away from the home. An IceGuard pipe segment was attached to the line just beyond where it exits the home. The IceGuard will protect the home against any ice or debris blocking the lower end of the line. Any water trapped by a blockage is able to escape the line through holes in the IceGuard piece. Finally, a LawnScape cap piece was used to end the line. This piece has a grate over the end so that the water can flow onto the lawn while outside debris is kept from entering the pipe.

Now that they have a proper sump system in place, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about finding a flooded basement during heavy rainfall. The SuperSump & UltraSump combination will ensure this basement floor stays dry for years to come!

A homeowner that lived in Sullivan, ME had been living with a problem below their home. The basement had no waterproofing in place and would regularly take on water during rainfall. Looking to utilize the space for storage, the homeowner sought a solution to their problem online. They found our website and called us at TC Hafford to set up a time to receive a free estimate. After they heard the details on what we could do for them, the homeowner gave us the go-ahead to get started on fixing their flooding basement!

When the installation crew arrived at the home their first task was to install a SuperSump sump pump in the lowest point of the basement floor, where the water will naturally accumulate. The SuperSump will force water it collects up and out of the home through a piping system. Nearby, a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed and connected to the sump. The SaniDry will pull the moisture out of the surrounding air and pass the collected water to the sump for removal. This will keep the air in the space healthy and eliminate the threat of mold growth.

Outside the home, where the discharge line exits the basement, an IceGuard pipe section was spliced into the line. The IceGuard has special angled holes built in which allow trapped water to escape. This will release water from the line if ice or other debris causes a blockage lower down, protecting the basement from a backup of water. Finally, a LawnScape port was attached to the end of the piping. Here, the water can flow out through the openings in the grate on the LawnScape that will keep out leaves and other larger debris.

With these additions to their home, this homeowner no longer needs to drain their basement of water regularly. Our automated SuperSump pump will do the work for them!

A couple living in Prospect Harbor, ME had noticed the sump in their basement of their new home wasn’t keeping up with the water leaking in. This was causing flooding in their basement, which they needed dealt with right away. After searching online, they soon discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems and called us right away to receive their free estimate. They spoke with our representative and soon hired us to get the job done to better waterproof their home.

Upon arriving at the home, our installation began work on the home by installing a TripleSafe sump system in the hole existing in the basement floor already. The TripleSafe, as the name suggests, houses three individual pumps. The first and second pumps act to remove the bulk of the water gathering in the basement, with the secondary only activating if the primary pump is ever overwhelmed. The third pump is operated by a battery and will turn on to remove water during a power-outage. The water flows from the home through a PVC discharge line where it will be released onto the ground a distance from the home.

Following this discharge line outside, our crew made two final additions to the line to finish this job. The first being an IceGuard pipe segment attached just beyond where the line exits the side of the home. The IceGuard has built-in holes that are angled upward as to not impede regular water flor. These holes protect the home from blockages like ice, allowing any trapped water to escape through the previously mentioned holes. Finally, a LawnScape discharge port was attached to the end of the line to complete the waterproofing. The end of the LawnScape port is covered by a grate to keep any large debris from entering the end of the line and causing blockages.

With these improvements in place, the homeowners can now use the space without the need to worry about water damage. The TripleSafe sump system will keep this basement floor water-free for years to come!

Having been living with a damp basement for some time, this Aurora, ME homeowner thought it was time they did something about the water below their home. Needing the space for storage and wanting to avoid water damage, the homeowner needed a way to remove the leaking water that typically gathered on their floor of the basement during rainfall. After a quick search online, they discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems and called us to receive their free quote. Our sales representative soon sat down with the homeowner to talk over their options and they gave us the go ahead to begin work on their home.

As soon as our crew arrived at the home, their first task was to install a SuperSump pump system in the floor of the basement. This device will take in the water flooding the space, forcing it up and out of the home at a rater of over 2,600 gallons per hour. The water flows away from the home through a PVC discharge line. Outside the home, two additions were attached to this line to improve the waterproofing of the basement. The first was an IceGuard pipe segment added just beyond where the line leaves the home. This piece has upward facing holes built into the sides that allow for water blocked by ice or debris to escape without backing up into the home. Finally, the end of the line received a LawnScape discharge port. The end of this piece is covered by a grate that will release the water onto the ground to harmlessly drain away while keeping out larger debris.

With their newly installed sump, this homeowner will no longer suffer from a regularly flooding basement. The SuperSump system along with specialty piping will keep this basement water-free for years to come!

After recently having a vapor barrier installed below their home, this Mount Desert, ME homeowner wanted additional humidity control for their crawlspace. Having done business with us before, they called our office to set up a time for their free estimate on this project. After speaking with our sales representative, the homeowner gave us the green light to begin work!

As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they were able to go straight to the crawlspace and begin work. To eliminate any moisture build-up in the atmosphere within the crawlspace, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was placed in the space. This device will pull in the damp air surrounding itself and separate the moisture from it. The dried air is then circulated back into the crawlspace where it will cycle more damp air back to the SaniDry, continuing the process until the space is free of moisture. The water that is separated from the air flows through a Condensate Pump, that forces the water out of the home through a discharge line.

Now with both a vapor barrier and a dehumidifier below their home, this homeowner should have no moisture problems develop in the future. The SaniDry Sedona will ensure the air below this home remains dry & healthy for years to come!

Shortly after winter one year, this Southwest Harbor, ME homeowner noticed a crack in their basement was letting in water as the snow thawed out. The homeowner, worried about water damage, looked online for a solution to their problem. After discovering TC Hafford Basement Systems, they gave us a call to receive a free estimate on possible solutions. They soon met with our sales representative and agreed to have our crew take care of the crack in their basement wall.

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they were tasked with sealing this crack with a three-part FlexiSpan seal. To prep the crack for sealant, a coarse brush was used to clear the crack of debris. The fist layer of sealant was then applied within the crack. This layer was covered by a foam mat that would become the core of the finished seal. Finally, a second layer of sealant was laid over the top of the crack, locking the FlexiSpan against the wall and keeping out any future leakages. The foam core within the FlexiSpan, as the name suggests, will allow the seal to adjust to any slight changes in the overall shape of the crack, should the wall shift at all.

With the crack sealed, this homeowner will no longer take on water in their home during each coming spring. The FlexiSpan seal will keep this basement water-free for years down the road!

After having never had problems with a flooding basement in the past, this Gouldsboro, ME homeowner was looking for a way to improve their waterproofing in the space after the space flooded twice in two weeks. They heard about TC Hafford Basement Systems from a family friend and called us right away to see what we could do for them. We set them up with a free estimate where our sales representative was able to explain to the homeowner exactly what their options were. The homeowner quickly decided on what work they wanted done and we got started.

As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they began by installing a SmartSump pump in the existing drain in the floor of the basement. This sump had been recently overwhelmed by the water levels needing removal from this basement and required an upgrade. The SmartSump will take in the water from the floor and force it out of the home through a PVC discharge line, where it will be deposited onto the ground a safe distance from the home. Next, an UltraSump backup battery was installed near the sump and connected to the SmartSump. The UltraSump will help maintain a dry basement floor by keeping the SmartSump active during any power-outages the homeowner experiences.

This new sump system will keep this basement from unexpected flooding in the future. This homeowner can rely on their new SmartSump to maintain their dry basement.

When this Castine, ME homeowner began to notice signs of moisture build up in their basement, they were worried the problem might develop into something detrimental. To put an end to the moisture, the homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems after they were referred to us by a friend. After speaking with our office staff about their free estimate, the homeowner was visited by our sales representative who then explained the solutions for the developing problem. The homeowner hired us right away to take care of their basement moisture build up!

Once on the property, our installation crew began work on the basement with the objective of clearing out the moisture and providing a dry, healthy atmosphere for the homeowner. To achieve this, a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed on the floor of the basement. This was then connected to the existing sump in the floor of the space. The SaniDry will take in the surrounding air and separate any moisture from it. The collected water flows directly to the sump for removal while the dried air is circulated back into the basement. This circulation will cycle more damp air back to the SaniDry, continuing the process until the entire basement is free of moisture.

With their basement now dry, this homeowner is much more comfortable while using the space. The SaniDry XP will keep the air within this basement within acceptable humidity levels for years into the future.

Living without a vapor barrier below their home, this homeowner living in Sullivan, ME soon found out what happens when moisture goes unchecked in a crawlspace. Looking for ways to keep water from leaking into their crawlspace, this homeowner looked online and soon discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems. After reviewing our website, they called us to ask about receiving their free estimate and we sent a sales representative to the home to take a look! The homeowner then gave us the green light to get started on the waterproofing soon after hearing what their options were.

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they were tasked with protecting this crawlspace from leaking moisture that would typically enter during rainfall. They began by laying a Drainage Matting across the floor of the space. This mat sits just above the surface of the floor, forming channels below itself that any blocked water will follow to where it can most easily flow out through the ground. Next, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the entire interior of the crawlspace. This liner will lock moisture on its outside, forcing any leakage to flow down through the Drainage Matting and out through the ground. These two layers form a new vapor barrier, capable of keeping this crawlspace safe from outside moisture.

Now this homeowner will no longer need to suffer from the damp, musty air as a consequence of having a wet crawlspace. Their new vapor barrier will keep this crawlspace dry for years to come!

This homeowner living in Bass Harbor, ME had recently noticed a musty smell beginning to take root in their crawlspace. The smell was a sign of a moisture problem in the space, and this homeowner knew just who to call. Having used our services before, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to set up a free estimate. After they met with our sales representative, they were ready to move forward with the installation right away.

Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started on the crawlspace right away. To eliminate the moisture in the air and take care of the musty smell problem bothering the homeowner, a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed. The SaniDry will dry the space by pulling in the damp air surrounding itself and separating the water from the air. The newly dried air is then circulated back into the space, cycling more damp air towards the intake until the space is filled with dry air once again. The collected water is then fed through some piping to the sump in the basement. Here it is forced out of the home through a PVC discharge line.

Now this homeowner should notice the musty smell dissipate along with the moisture problem. The SaniDry XP dehumidifier will ensure the air in this space stays dry and healthy for years into the future.

When this homeowner living in Northeast Harbor, ME needed some work done on the crawlspace below their home. Having used us at TC Hafford Basement Systems before, they knew just who to call. After they spoke with our office staff, we set this homeowner up with a free estimate. Our sales representative soon made their way to the home for the scheduled appointment and explained in detail to the homeowner the different ways we could help them with their problem. They hired us right away to get the job taken care of and we dispatched our crew.

As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they made their way into the crawlspace to get started. This homeowner was looking to put better insulation between their home and their crawlspace. To achieve this, Spray Foam was spread within the rim joists above the crawlspace. Once sprayed, the foam will expand and fill in the spaces between the home interior and the cool crawlspace below. This will create a barrier that will help the homeowner retain efficiency when heating or cooling their home.

With their new insulation below their home, this homeowner should have no problems with losing heat during the winter anymore! The Spray Foam installation will keep this space insulated for many years to come!

Tired of cleaning out their clogged gutters and wanting to get the problem solved quickly, this Bar Harbor, ME homeowner reached out to Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner and worked with them to design the gutter system of their dreams. With many colors to choose from, the homeowner was able to pick a Gutter Shutter system that matched their home. With the larger 6-inch gutter with a built-in shutter, the homeowner never has to climb a ladder to unclog their gutters ever again.

After putting a new addition onto their home, this Ellsworth, ME, homeowner has had issues with moisture in their crawl space. Not wanting to move on to other home improvement projects without fixing their crawl space, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and scheduled a free estimate. System Design Specialist Mark Smith drove out and met with the homeowner to work with them on designing a crawl space encapsulation system.

First, TC Hafford removed the old plastic from the crawl space and laid down brand-new Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting features dimples that create a gap, allowing any groundwater to be channeled without causing any issues to the crawl space. CleanSpace is then laid on top of the Drainage Matting to create an inorganic barrier between outside elements and the crawl space. Finally, a SmartJack was installed to better support the floor above and remove any bounce the floor had.

Now the crawl space is encapsulated, and because of CleanSpace’s bright white color, light is reflected, resulting in a perfect storage area that is protected from critters, moisture, and any other outside element that could cause issues.
