Before & After Photos

TC Hafford installed a WaterGuard drainage system over drainage matting and poured a new concrete floor in this existing structure. 

This North Hampton, NH basement had multiple issues that needed to be addressed. There was muddy water about an inch high, covering the basement floor. And the foundation was unstable, a tell tale sign was that the floors on the first level of the home had begun to sag. TC Hafford came out to assess the space and after consulting with the homeowner, determined that they could solve all of these issues.

First we waterproofed the basement, and then poured a beautiful new concrete floor. Then, we installed our galvanized steel SmartJacks. These SmartJacks are put in place to restore a homes foundation to its original state. All three of these implementations by TC Hafford made the home safer.

This Middleton, NH, homeowner was dealing with musty smells coming from their crawl space, and the open dirt floor was leading to moisture issues. The homeowner knew they wanted a vapor barrier to be installed in their basement, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the homeowner for a free estimate and worked with them to design a system to keep moisture out of their crawl space.

The first step in encapsulating the crawl space was to lay down CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting is durable, and with the large dimpled design, a gap is created between the CleanSpace and outside elements. CleanSpaces bright white design helps reflect light, creating a more illuminated area that is perfect for storage. Encapsulating a crawl space benefits the area by keeping out moisture and critters, protecting the home, and creating a healthier environment. A Sump Liner was installed to make the installation of a sump pump easier in the future if it becomes necessary. To finish the encapsulation system, SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists to fully protect the home. Now that the crawl space is fully encapsulated, the homeowners’ worries are taken away, and the space that caused them concern is now a perfect area for storage.

Open crawlspaces lead to the elements coming in and wrecking the health of a home leading to mold and cold floors. In worse cases, wood can begin to rot, leading to thousands and thousands of dollars in repair. Moldy crawlspaces can affect not only the health of the home but those living in the home as well. This Bartlett, NH homeowner was worried about the health of their family and wanted to take care of their Crawlspace as soon as possible, making sure the air they are breathing is fresh and clean.

System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and put together a list of their goals, and together they designed a crawlspace system that would accomplish their goals. The system started with CleanSpace and drainage matting with Spray Foam on the rim joists. To make sure water wouldn’t be a problem, they put in a TripleCrawl Sump Pump System that is connected to an exterior, buried Discharge Line that takes the water way from the home. Mold was an issue in this crawlspace, so Sam and the homeowner opted to put in a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This ensures that humidity never gets to a point where mold will grow. Together they built this system and ensured the health of the home for the future.

This Acton, ME crawl space was the local hangout for critters and rodents who were looking for a warm, damp place to spend their time. Tired of the high moisture in their crawl space and dealing with mold and the musty smell permeating into their home, the homeowner scheduled a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would solve their issues.

The first step of encapsulating a crawl space is creating an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and the crawl space. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting is laid down and attached to the walls. Drainage Matting creates space between the earth and CleanSpace, allowing water to be channeled safely. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed to take the groundwater and any water channeled to the TripleSafe from the installed SmartDrain. The TripleSafe will push all water out of the space and outside, away from the home, through the new Buried Discharge Line. To finish off the encapsulation system, CleanSpace vent covers were installed to close off the foundation vents, keeping moisture out of the crawl space and the humidity at a safer level. Now critters and rodents don’t have a way into the crawl space, and moisture is kept out. The homeowner no longer has to deal with musty odors and can use their crawl space for storage.
