Before & After Photos

Looking for a way to prevent future leakages in their basement, this homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. We set them up with a free estimate and they soon gave us the go ahead to begin work on their basement. Our installation crew began work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter in order to allow for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the floor. Hidden below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. This water is guided to the TripleSafe sump pump also installed within the floor. The TripleSafe system contains three pumps, two pumps for bulk water removal and one battery-operated pump for when the home is without power. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Equipped with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments, this discharge line is protected against ice build-up and debris blockages.

Now any moisture entering this basement through the foundation will flow through the WaterGuard piping directly into the TripleSafe pump for removal. This homeowner can now utilize their basement without needing to fear water-damage in the future!

When one of the walls in their basement began to bow and crack, this Fayette, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to solve the problem before it got worse! We set them up with a free estimate where our sales representative was able to explain to the homeowner, in detail, just how we could seal these cracks and prevent more cracks from forming in the future. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started on sealing the cracks right away. To install FlexiSpan seals over each crack, a primary layer of sealant was first applied within the cracks. A thin foam pad was laid along the cracks over the first layer of sealant. To finish the seal, a second layer of sealant was applied over the top of the foam core, creating FlexiSpan seals covering each crack. These seals benefit from the foam core by being able to contort to any slight changes in the wall, maintaining their water-tight seal. Next, to prevent future bowing of the wall, PowerBrace beams were attached to the floor and spaced out along the problem-wall. These beams were then tightened against the wall using their adjustable fixtures anchored to the joists above the basement.

With the cracks sealed and their wall locked back to its original position, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about any moisture or structural problems developing in their basement. The FlexiSpan seals & PowerBrace supports will protect this basement for years into the future!

With a black mold growing in their basement and regular flooding after rainfall, this Bath, ME homeowner was looking for a solution! They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and following their free estimate from our sales representative, they hired us to get started on upgrading their failing sump as soon as possible. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they were able to begin work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the floor. This trench opened enough space to lay WaterGuard piping down around the basement. After sealing these pipes in place with a fresh layer of concrete, they will act to intercept any moisture leaking through the foundation in the future. This collected water is guided through the WaterGuard to the SuperSump pump installed where the old pump had been. The SuperSump system is able to remove over 2,600 gallons of water from the home every hour. This water flow out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard segment just outside the home. The IceGuard is built in a way that provides any water blocked by ice or debris a way to escape the line without backing up into the basement.

With an upgraded sump pump, this homeowner should no longer experience a flooding basement after any rainfall. Their new WaterGuard system will maintain a dry basement floor for years to come!

This crawlspace in Arrowsic Maine needed some love so the homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done. Our System Design Specialist Daryl met with the homeowner and after analyzing the issues in the crawl space, designed a system that would meet the homeowners needs. Utilizing CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, SprayFoam and a SmartSump, this crawl space will now be protected. With this system, the homeowner will have peace of mind knowing that the CleanSpace encapsulates the crawl space and water collected by the SuperSump will be moved far from the house through a buried discharge line where it will no longer be a problem.

This crawl space in Bath, ME, was giving the homeowner a laundry list of issues that were causing them to spend money on costly repairs. Concerned about the water in their crawl space and pipes freezing during the winter months, this homeowner decided to take action and book a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nick Ciciarelli worked with the homeowner to design a complete encapsulation system that would take care of the dirt floor, drafty walls, and the water coming into their basement.

The area was regraded, and Drainage Matting was laid on the ground to create an inorganic barrier between the dirt and the new Slab that needed to be poured. Before the new Slab could be poured, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch and channel water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump with Battery Backup. The water has to go somewhere, so the TripleSafe is connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard installed. With the crawl space waterproofed, the new Slab was able to be poured, and SprayFoam was installed along the rim joists and walls where needed to insulate the crawl space and protect the pipes underneath the home from freezing. The last step in setting up this crawl space for success was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier that drains directly to the TripleSafe so the homeowner never has to empty a bucket and the crawl space stays at a safe humidity level all the time.

Now the homeowner is happy knowing their crawl space is no longer a nightmare and their home and family will be safer and healthier.
