Trusted Basement Waterproofing Company in Minot, ME

Soon after noticing a puddle of water on their basement floor, this Minot, ME homeowner discovered a crack along one of the walls. The water had been entering through the crack and the homeowner had to manually remove any pools of water that would build up. Looking to have something done about the crack, the homeowner searched online where they found our TC Hafford Basement Systems website. The homeowner called us shortly after and we set them up with their free estimate. They agreed to what our sales representative suggested, and we got to work waterproofing this basement!

After the homeowner had their free estimate, our installation crew was dispatched to seal the crack causing the problem. Because the crack ran across a wall covered by several wooden supports, a special sealing method was used. An initial coat of sealant was applied over the top of the crack, with plugs being placed in the sealant every few feet. Once the plugs were dried in place, they were opened and Urethane was injected into the crack through each, until the crack was completely filled. This will prevent any future moisture from entering the basement through this newly sealed crack.

Now this homeowner should no longer need to deal with pools of water gathering in their basement. The Urethane Injection in the crack will keep the leaks at bay in the future!

Living in Minot, ME, this homeowner has recently noticed a musty smell around their home. They soon discovered the smell to be coming from moisture building up in the crawlspace beneath their home. Without a vapor barrier, any rainwater or melting snow could easily leak in through the walls and floor, allowing mold populations to thrive. To remedy this moisture problem, they searched online for a solution. After reading about TC Hafford Basement Systems, they gave us a call to receive their free estimate. Soon after, we began work on waterproofing the space.

As soon as our crew arrived at the home they were able to begin the vapor barrier installation. This began with a Drainage Matting being laid across the floor of the space. This mat sits just above the surface of the floor and has many holes throughout. This allows any moisture caught within the vapor barrier can flow back toward the ground and flow out of the space. Next, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the crawlspace. This sheet covers all of the walls, as well as supports and the floor. This completes the vapor barrier, which will now completely lock out any new moisture trying to enter the space.

With their vapor barrier in place, this homeowner should notice their moisture problem soon dissipate. Without any moisture, any mold will be unable to sustain itself.

A homeowner in Minot was having trouble with water gathering in their basement. This could easily lead to water damage. The homeowner need this fixed as soon as possible. They contacted TC Hafford to get the job done. We had a representative head out to take a look, and discuss with the homeowner the potential solutions for this issue. The homeowner decided on what they wanted done, and we got to work!

We started by digging up the perimeter of the basement. This trench made way for us to install a WaterGuard pipe system. This is then buried under cement to hold it in place. The WaterGuard system will capture any moisture entering the basement through the walls or floors. The water is then channeled to a newly installed SuperSump sump pump. This pump will take the collected water and push it up and out of the basement. Now this homeowner no longer needs to worry about water gathering in their basement!
