Your Trusted Strafford County, NH Basement Waterproofing & Structural Repair Company

After reading about TC Hafford Basement Systems in the Yellow pages, Billy & Donna reached out to us. They had a basement in need of some waterproofing, as well as some other improvements that TC Hafford could provide. After examining the basement, Mike Morin had arranged for a crew to come out and get to work. Billy & Donna soon received the waterproofing they were looking for.
Once working, the TC Hafford crew installed a WaterGuard system around the perimeter, along with an IceGuard outside the home, and a TripleSafe sump pump in between. The windows in the basement were covered on the exterior using beautiful SunHouse window covers, and the crawlspace under the home was finished off with a CleanSpace liner to keep out any moisture. The customer felt the crew did an excellent job, and was extremely satisfied with the end result of the installation process.

David from Farmington was having a moisture problem in his basement. This moisture was causing a smell in the basement, likely due to mold. After he got a piece of mail from TC Hafford, he made the call! We set up David with a brand new SaniDry XP dehumidifier. This new installation now reduces the amount of moisture in the basement air, reducing the ability for mold to grow, and eliminating the smell.

A homeowner in Milton was experiencing trouble with water gathering in his basement. This water was clearly entering through a crack that was forming in the basement wall. After hearing about TC Hafford Basement Systems from a friend and satisfied customer, the homeowner gave us a call to come fix their problem.

To start with the solution, we applied a layer of sealant in and over the crack. This first layer holds back any water trying to enter through the opening. We then laid a foam pad over the sealant to further protect from water entering the basement. Finally, we spread a layer of sealant over the first two layers to hold them in place and completely seal out any water that may try and seep into the basement. This setup will allow the FlexiSpan to not only prevent water from entering the basement, but it is flexible, so it can shift with the walls. This shifting capability ensures the crack stays sealed no matter what. This homeowner now has a dry basement.

A homeowner in Rollinsford had a basement with steel framed windows. These windows, over time, lost their alignment with the rest of the basement wall. This small crack would allow for water to enter in through the window during rain. This was an issue that needed to be solved ASAP. The homeowner took to the internet to find a solution. They soon came across TC Hafford Basement Systems and chose us to get the job done. Once on the scene, we removed the old windows, these weren’t going to be needed anymore. We then started on installing four EverLast Windows. These windows fit snugly into the previous windows ports, sealing off the basement from exterior moisture. Now this homeowner no longer needs to worry about water leaking into their basement through the window frames.

Jen from Milton was having trouble with water pooling in her basement. This water could easily lead to water damage or mold growth and she needed something done about it. She got online and searched for a solution, soon coming across TC Hafford Basement Systems. She contacted us and we got her a free estimate within a few days!

Starting work on the basement, we dug out the inside perimeter of the basement. This cleared space for us to lay down the WaterGuard pipe system. This pipe will capture all the water entering through the walls or floor and direct it to the sump. In the sump, we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This pump will take the gathered water and force it up through a PVC discharge line and out of the basement. Finally, we attached an UltraSump backup battery to the SuperSump. This battery will ensure the pump operates normally even during a power outage. Now Jen will have a dry basement no matter how hard it rains!

Dave from Rochester had a problem with his sump pump. It used to work the way any pump should. It would rain, the water would enter the basement, and be evacuated by the pump. But recently, this wasn’t happening; the water would enter, and then pool up and flood the basement. This needed to stop as soon as possible! After seeing TC Hafford Basement Systems on his television, Dave thought we could help with his sump problem and gave us a call. We had a representative over to the home in no time to give him his free estimate. Dave chose what he wanted done and we got to work!

We needed to start by taking the old pump out of the sump, and disposing of it. It would not be serving any further purpose. We then installed a SuperSump sump pump into the sump. This new pump will be more than enough for any amount of rain coming down around Dave’s home. The water entering the basement, then subsequently the pump, is pushed out through a PVC discharge line. Outside of the home, on the discharge line, we attached a special pipe known as an IceGuard. Aptly named after its functionality, the IceGuard protects the sump from backing up. Its unique design allows water to exit the sides of the pipe, should the lower end of the line become blocked by ice or other debris. Now Dave has a functioning pump and a dry basement that will remain dry year-round!

A homeowner in Somersworth was having trouble with water collecting in their basement. The water was entering through a crack in the wall of the basement and pooling up on the floor. The homeowner searched for a way to seal this crack, soon being referred to TC Hafford Basement Systems by a friend. They called us shortly after and we dispatched a representative to the home, to look at the crack and offer a free estimate to the homeowner. They gave us the go ahead and we got to work!

We began work by filling the crack with a sealant. This is the primary barrier against water trying to flow through the crack. Next, we overlaid the sealant with a foam matting. This mat will give the overall structure its flexible nature, allowing the completed FlexiSpan to conform to the crack, should the wall shift at all over time. Finally, we added a second layer of sealant over the top of the foam matting. This locks the structure in place, and completely seals out any moisture trying to enter the basement interior through the crack.

Now with the completed FlexiSpan structure in place, the crack has been sealed! This homeowner no longer needs to fear water flooding their basement through this pesky crack in the wall.

A homeowner in New Durham was not only having trouble with his sump pump not pushing out enough water, but water would also gather in the corners, away from the pump. The homeowner took to the yellow pages to find a solution for their water problem. This is where they found TC Hafford Basement Systems, who they called immediately to set up a meeting with one of our representatives. We gave the homeowner their free estimate, and then after they selected what work they wanted done, our crew got to work!

We began by digging up the inside perimeter of the basement floor. This newly dug trench was where we laid our WaterGuard pipe system. These pipes were then covered over with loose rocks and cement to conceal it without hurting its function. The water would capture any and all water trying to enter through the walls or floor of the basement, leading it to the sump. After finishing with the WaterGuard, we installed a SuperSump sump pump in the basement sump. This pump is able to move 2,650 gallons of water per hour, and should be more than enough to keep this basement dry!

With these two products working together, this homeowner will now live worry free, with a dry basement!

When this homeowner noticed flooding in their basement, they were unprepared to deal with this problem. The water had been seemingly leaking in through the concrete foundation directly, so the homeowner was unsure how to approach the problem. After they were referred to TC Hafford Basement Systems, this homeowner called us to set up and appointment for their free estimate. After receiving their estimate, this homeowner hired us to get the job done!

Upon arrival to the home, our crew got started on this basement by excavating a shallow trench surrounding the floor of the space. Next, WaterGuard piping was placed down within this trench. The WaterGuard was covered with loose rocks before being sealed within the floor by a fresh layer of concrete. These pipes will collect any leaking moisture in the future, preventing it from reaching the surface of the floor. The collected water then follows the WaterGuard piping through the floor to the sump where it will be removed from the home.

Once finished with the WaterGuard, our crew installed a SuperSump pump in the sump of this basement. The SuperSump will take the water from the WaterGuard, forcing it up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line. The SuperSump operates at a rate of 2,650 gallons of water removed per hour, plenty of power to keep this basement water-free. Nearby, an UltraSump backup battery was installed and attached to the SuperSump. The UltraSump will allow the SuperSump to continue to function even during power-outages.

These improvements will keep this homeowners basement dry for years to come! The WaterGuard piping & SuperSump system will ensure this homeowner never experiences a flooding basement again.

When this homeowner in Farmington, NH was having basement moisture issues, they were unsure how to approach the problem. The water was leaking in through their concrete foundation and gathering across the floor. The homeowner searched online for a way to keep the water out and soon discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems. They called us to hear what their options were and we dispatched our crew to give them a free estimate.

When our installation crew arrived at the home later, they needed to install WaterGuard piping to waterproof this basement. This began with a shallow trench being excavated into the perimeter of the concrete floor. The WaterGuard piping was laid down within this trench and buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete. These pipes have slits along their lower edges, allowing leaking moisture to enter the pipes before reaching the surface of the basement floor in the future. This water is guided through the WaterGuard and fed directly into the sump to be removed from the home.

With their WaterGuard protection installed, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about their basement flooding even during light rainfall. Their new waterproofing will make sure of that!

After some neighboring construction happened, this Somersworth, NH homeowner began to experience water problems in their finished basement. Without a drain in the space, they had almost no way of solving this problem. They searched online and soon found us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, calling right away to set up their free estimate. The homeowner soon sat down with one of our sales representatives to talk over their options and decided on what they would like done to waterproof the space.

Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they were tasked with giving the space proper drainage. To achieve this, a TripleSafe pump was installed in the floor of the basement. The TripleSafe device houses three sump pumps within itself. The first pump works to remove the majority of the collected water. The secondary pump will remain idle until either the primary pump fails or cannot handle the current amount of water needing to be removed, then the pump will activate to increase the flow exiting the home. The third pump is a battery-operated backup pump that will activate in the event of a power-outage, maintaining a dry basement even when the home is without power.

The water exits the home through a PVC discharge line that carries the water a distance from the home. Just beyond where this line exits the home, an IceGuard pipe segment was intersected into the discharge line. The IceGuard piece has special upward facing holes that only allow trapped water to escape the line. This will protect the basement from flooding due to a blockage of ice or other debris in the line. Finally, a LawnScape discharge port was attached to the end of the line. This piece has a grate covering the bottom end of the pipe, blocking most debris from entering the line from the end while allowing the water to flow out onto the lawn a distance from the home.

Now that this homeowner has a functioning sump system below their home, they no longer need to fear a flooding basement causing damage to their property. The newly installed TripleSafe pump will ensure this basement stays dry for years to come!

Soon after a crack had formed across one of their concrete basement walls, this Farmington, NH homeowner began to suffer from water leaking onto their basement floor. Un sure about how to resolve the problem on their own, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems once they saw us on their TV. We set them up with a free estimate and they were soon given their possible options by our sales representative. They quickly agreed to a solution and we got to work!

When our installation crew arrived, they needed to keep water from entering this crack in the future but were slightly obstructed by supports along the wall in front of the crack. To seal the crack regardless, an initial layer of sealant was applied over the top of the visible portions of the crack, with plastic plugs placed every few feet along the sealant. After drying in place, these plugs were opened and starting from the lowest and working our way up, our crew began to inject Polyurethane into the interior of the crack through the plugs. Resealing each plug along the way, the crack is soon completely filled with the Polyurethane sealant. This will soon dry and lock out any future leakages.

Now this homeowner has one less problem to worry about with their cracked basement wall sealed. The Polyurethane seal will keep water from leaking into their basement for many years to come!

While living in Milton, NH, this homeowner had recently begun to notice a musty smell throughout their home. Unsure how to put an end to this problem themselves, the homeowner sought a solution online. After finding TC Hafford Basement Systems, they called us to set up their free estimate. We dispatched our sales representative and were able to go over what the problem was and what we could do to fix it with this homeowner. Water had been leaking into their crawlspace, causing the musty smell in the home. They soon gave us the go-ahead to get started on solving their problem.

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they moved to the crawlspace right away to begin work on giving this home a proper vapor barrier. First, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor of the space. This mat sits just off the surface of the floor and has many small holes throughout itself. This creates channels for the water to follow once the vapor barrier is finished, allowing the water to exit the space. Next, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace. The CleanSpace, covering all of the walls, as well as the floor, will lock out moisture trying to enter the interior of the crawlspace in the future. This blocked water will then flow out of the space draining down back through the ground below.

With their completed vapor barrier in place, this homeowner no longer needs to live with a musty smell in their home from the moisture build-up. The CleanSpace installation will keep any leaking water at bay for years to come!

Clogged and dirty gutters are not only unsightly but can lead to damage not only to your roof but your basement as well. Ineffective gutters allow water to run off of a home’s roof, eroding the soil below, which can eventually damage the foundation, giving water the chance to penetrate its way into the basement. This Dover, NH, homeowner’s gutters were old and ready to be replaced, so they called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for help.

System Design Specialist Josh Hamel met with the homeowner for a free estimate to show what the Gutter Shutter Seamless Gutter system would look like on their home. Gutter Shutter is formed and cut on the homeowner’s property, resulting in a seamless gutter that is sized perfectly for the home. Gutter Shutter can be cut as short or long as needed, and with the added protection of the Gutter Guard, any organic debris such as pine needles and leaves slides right off the gutter without the chance to cause clogs. A clog-free gutter ensures the system works year-round, and the homeowner’s foundation and basement are protected from water damage. The homeowner can also keep their ladder in the barn until it’s time to hang Christmas lights since they will no longer need to clean their gutters ever again.
