Your Dependable Waldoboro, ME Wet Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Experts

A homeowner in Waldoboro, Maine, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems regarding their 200-year-old property. The house, rich in history, had a cellar with an earthen floor and concrete block walls that had been spray foam insulated. While the insulation provided some protection, the homeowners noticed water seeping into the cellar, raising concerns about moisture and potential damage to the foundation.

Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems visited the property for a thorough evaluation. Given the age of the home and the condition of the cellar, we recommended a comprehensive solution to manage the water infiltration and improve air quality in the space. Our crew installed the CleanSpace liner and drainage matting to cover the floor, providing a moisture barrier that would channel any incoming water to the drainage system. The liner was carefully attached using spray foam for added insulation and to ensure a seamless fit along the walls. To address the humidity and keep the air dry, we installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This powerful system works by removing moisture from the air, preventing mold growth and keeping the cellar dry and healthy. By combining these elements, the homeowners now have a fully protected cellar that can withstand moisture and humidity, preserving their historic home for years to come.

The homeowners were highly satisfied with the results, knowing their home's foundation is now safeguarded against water intrusion and humidity issues.

A homeowner in Waldoboro had a basement which would regularly get wet whenever it rained. Even though this homeowner had a sump pump to remove the water from his basement, he had to way to guarantee the water would reach the sump. This allowed for the water to build up and dampen roughly a quarter of his basement. The homeowner thought this was no good, so once he saw an ad for TC Hafford Basement Systems on the TV, he gave us a call.

After the homeowner decided what he wanted done to help fix his problem, our crew got to work. The first thing we did was dig out the perimeter of the homeowner’s basement. This would allow for the placement of a WaterGuard system, to reroute any water trying to enter the basement through the walls, or up from the ground. This rerouting would lead the water to the newly installed SuperSump sump pump. This pump takes the water and pushes it up and out of the basement, keeping the floors and air of the basement dry. The water is then passed through an IceGuard filter once outside the house. This filter acts as a normal pipe when everything is functioning normally. But once the pipe gets blocked, be it by ice or other debris, the IceGuard will allow water to exit the pipe and prevent the whole system from backing up. This homeowner now has a 100% dry basement.
