Expert Basement Waterproofing Company in New Harbor, ME

Living in New Harbor, ME, this property owner recently noticed their crawlspace had developed quite a moisture problem. Having done business with us before, they knew just who to call to solve this problem. After contacting our office staff, we scheduled a time for them to receive a free estimate from one of our sales representatives. Once their meeting concluded, the property owner was ready to move forward with the solution right away!

As soon as our crew was able to make it to the home, they began work on lining this crawlspace with a proper vapor barrier right away. This began with a Drainage Matting being laid across the floor of the crawlspace, resting on built in supports and sitting just off the surface of the floor. This mat creates channels between itself and the floor that any blocked water will follow before draining back down into the ground. Next, to complete the vapor barrier, a CleanSpace liner was used to cover all of the walls as well as the floor of the crawlspace. This liner will lock out any leaking moisture, forcing it down through the Drainage Mat to exit the space through the ground.

To eliminate the existing moisture problem below the home, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier was then installed on the floor of the crawlspace alongside a Condensate Pump. The SaniDry will now act to pull in the surrounding damp air, separating any moisture from what it collects. While the dried air is circulated back into the crawlspace, the water travels through piping to the pump. Here, the water is forced out of the home through a discharge line, where it will be deposited onto the ground a small distance from the home. This process will continue until the crawlspace air is back to being dry and healthy.

These measures will now maintain a dry crawlspace for this property owner, meaning no more musty smells! The CleanSpace & SaniDry combo will maintain this dry crawlspace atmosphere for many years into the future!

A homeowner living in New Harbor, ME had recently began having water build up in the basement below their home. The water had been entering through a crack in one of their basement walls. Unsure how to keep the water out, this homeowner needed a solution to their problem before it got worse. When they saw an ad for TC Hafford on their TV, they called right away to receive their free estimate. Once they heard their options, the homeowner hired us to get the job done as soon as possible.

When our crew arrived at the home to begin the waterproofing, they got started by brushing the crack clear of any debris. To keep water from entering through the crack in the future, a FlexiSpan seal needed to be placed over the crack. A primary layer of sealant was applied within the crack, completely covering it. Next, a foam mat was placed along the crack, to give the finished structure the flexibility the name suggests. A second layer of sealant was then used to cover the foam, completing the FlexiSpan seal once dried in place. Finally, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier was installed on the basement floor. This device will pull the moisture from the air within this basement, keeping the air dry and healthy.

Now that this homeowner has some proper waterproofing below their home, their basement can now be used without the fear that water might cause problems. The FlexiSpan seal will keep out future leaks for many years to come!

A homeowner in New Harbor would frequently have their basement flood whenever it would rain. This was causing problems, such a water damage and a musty smell. Requiring assistance in resolving this issue, the homeowner searched for a solution. After finding an ad for TC Hafford Basement Systems in their newspaper, the homeowner contacted us. We gave them a free estimate, and started work on their basement once the decided on what they wanted done!

To start work on the basement, we excavated the interior perimeter of the basement. This opened up a trench for us to lay down a WaterGuard piping system. The WaterGuard is then covered over with loose rocks and cement. This seals it within the floor, without hurting its functionality. This pipe system captures water as it enters the basement through the walls and the floor, guiding it to the sump. In the sump, we installed a TripleSafe sump pump. This device has three separate pumps, one primary pump, one backup pump in case the primary fails, and a third, battery operated pump in case of a power outage. Following the sump discharge line to the exterior of the home, we attached an IceGuard onto the line. This is a special piece of pipe that allows for water to continue to be pumped out of the basement even if the lower end of the pipe becomes blocked by ice or other debris. Finally, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. This will guarantee a dry atmosphere within the basement, should any moisture find its way inside. Now this homeowner is worry free, even during the heaviest of rains.
