Before & After Photos

This basement was in desperate need for improvement. It is now much better thanks to the help of CleanSpace Encapsulation and Spray Foam. The basement will be dry and much more energy efficient. 

Waking up to a smelly and damp crawl space is never fun for anyone. It’s valuable space in your home that could be utilized if not for the treacherous conditions. Although it may seem like a lost cause, don’t lose hope yet. CleanSpace with Drain Matting and a TripleSafe Sump System by TC Hafford Basement Systems will allow you to take back control of your crawl space and gain storage area necessary to declutter your home.

When the 55-year-old drain in their basement clogged up and would not function anymore, this Bridgton, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. After speaking with our sales representative and reviewing their options during a free estimate, they gave us the green light to begin work on resolving their sump problem. When our installation crew arrived at the home, they began work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the basement floor. This allowed enough room for WaterGuard piping to be laid surrounding the basement. Buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard pipes within the floor will capture any moisture leaking into the basement through the pores in the concrete in the future. The water is then guided through the piping to the sump where we installed a SuperSump pump. This new pump is capable of removing over 2,600 gallons of water from the home every hour. The water is pumped outside the home through a PVC discharge line where it passes through IceGuard & LawnScape sections before being released onto the lawn. These two additional pipe sections provide protection against blockages in the line and debris that might cause future clogs.

With a revamped waterproofing system in place, this homeowner’s wet basement problem is now a thing of the past. The WaterGuard & SuperSump combination will ensure this basement remains dry for years to come!

The homeowners were experiencing some water in their basement through the walls and the old window. They wanted to solve the problem, prevent future issues, and eliminate moisture and humidity. After contacting TC Hafford Basement Systems, a team of specialists were able to successfully solve all of these issues. A System Design Specialist determined that the space was in need of a CleanSpace encapsulation system with Drainage Matting. They Installed a new SaniDry XP Basement Air System to keep the humidity low, and a new window to help with leaks. 

Living with a wet basement, this Gorham, ME homeowner was looking for a way to keep the water at bay. After a quick Google search, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate from one of our sales representatives. Liking what we could offer, they hired us right away to get started on waterproofing their wet basement. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the floor. This enabled them to lay WaterGuard piping down below the surface of the floor, covering it over with a fresh layer of concrete. Concealed within the floor, the WaterGuard piping will now capture any moisture leaking in through the foundation before it can reach the floors surface. This trapped water is guided directly into the SuperSump installed in the corner of the basement to remove the water from the home before it can accumulate. The water is forced out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard segment just outside the home. The IceGuard is constructed with upward facing holes to allow for any water blocked by ice or debris to escape the line before backing up into the home.

With these waterproofing measures in place, this homeowner now has the permanent solution they were looking for. The WaterGuard & SuperSump combination will ensure this basement remains water-free for years to come!
