West Boothbay Harbor, ME Trusted Basement & Crawl Space Repair Contractors

When this homeowner living in West Boothbay Harbor, ME began to have a problem with water flooding into their basement, they immediately started looking for a solution. The rainwater was seemingly leaking in through their concrete foundation. After hearing about TC Hafford Basement Systems from a friend, they called us and received their free estimate. Once they spoke with our representative, they knew they wanted to move forward with the waterproofing as soon as possible.

As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they began work on the basement by excavating a trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor. This enabled WaterGuard piping to be laid down, surrounding the interior of the basement floor. Covered by a layer of loose rocks and fresh concrete, the WaterGuard pipes will collect any leaking rainwater through small slits along the edge of each pipe. This water flows through the piping below the floors surface to the sump in the basement floor where it drains out of the home.

After implementing the WaterGuard piping beneath the floor, our crew then began work on a solution for the accumulated moisture in the air. To achieve this, a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed on the basement floor. This device will pull in the air around itself, separating the moisture from it and circulating the dried air back into the basement. This will soon eliminate all of the moisture within the atmosphere of this basement and maintain dry, healthy conditions. The water collected by the SaniDry is passed through piping to the sump where it will also drain away from the home.

With these new waterproofing solutions implemented below their home, this homeowner can now expect to find a dry basement whenever they decide to utilize the space. The WaterGuard piping and SaniDry XP will keep this basement free of moisture for years down the road.

A couple in West Boothbay Harbor were in a bit of a tough spot. They had a crawlspace that would gather large amounts of moisture, and no way to get rid of it. This moisture could easily lead to mold growth, and potentially health concerns for the homeowners. They called up TC Hafford Basement Systems right away to solve their problem, and we sent out our crew to get to work!

To ensure water would no longer gather on the surfaces within the space, we needed to install a vapor barrier within the crawlspace. We encapsulated the space with a CleanSpace Liner. This covered all the walls, supports, and the floor of the crawlspace. The liner is made of a thin plastic, which the moisture cannot pass through. This will maintain a dry atmosphere within the crawlspace by not allowing the moisture in to begin with!

With their new vapor barrier in place, this couple can rest assured no mold will be growing in their crawlspace.
