Before & After Photos

This Harrison, ME, homeowner noticed that water would come into their basement during heavy rains. Wanting to protect their finished basement from damage, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement System for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system specific to their home.

Where needed, the carpet was pulled back so WaterGuard could be installed. Once the concrete is finished drying, the carpet can be reinstalled. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The Triplesafe features two Zoeller sumps and an additional battery backup powered sump in case of a power outage. CleanSpace Wall System was installed, which is a durable vapor barrier and was connected to the WaterGuard. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in the space to maintain a safe humidity throughout the basement. Finally, the TripleSafe was connected to a brand new Buried Exterior Discharge line that takes the water far away from the home. To keep the system running during the winter months without any issues, IceGuard was installed to prevent ice buildup, ensuring the system never stops working. The homeowner is able to enjoy their basement without the concern of water causing them costly repairs.

This Kittery Point, ME homeowner wanted to use their basement for storage but felt uncomfortable doing so because of water problems. Looking to take care of their issue and regain control over their basement, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner to go over their concerns and design a system that would keep the home healthy and their belongings safe. First, the old sump was removed and replaced with a SuperSump that is connected to a Buried Discharge Line. The SuperSump takes all groundwater and pumps it through the Buried Discharge Line far enough from the house where it can’t cause any trouble. To keep the system running all year round without issue, IceGuard is installed to prevent ice buildup during the harsh Maine winter months. Now the homeowner is able to use their basement for storage without concern of their belongings being damaged.

York, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for support with the walkout basement at their beach house. The home was built in the 1890's, and they were experiencing water coming up through the floor. We poured a brand new slab floor, including WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, and a new TripleSafe sump pump to handle any moisture. The TripleSafe pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. 

Homeowners in York, Maine had water coming into their crawl space, and pooling up to the reddish/orange line you see here. Their old sump system could not handle the amount of incoming water. We poured a new slab floor with a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona. The TripleSafe system has two Zoeller pumps that work together to pump over 6,000 gallons per hour. The new slab helps prevent water from seeping in through the old floor cracks. The SaniDry Sedona is a high efficiency air system that controls the humidity to help keep the space dry.

This York, ME, home has a tendency to flood whenever it rains, which has caused the homeowner issues with musty smells from mold. The odor penetrates the floor and leaks into the home, especially during the summer months. Worried about rodents and air quality, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Rick Russell worked with the homeowner to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would solve their problems.

To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. A SmartSump was installed to capture water and pump it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. Not only is the homeowner able to enjoy their home with better air quality and without having to worry about water in their crawl space.
