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.

Growing tired of having to squeegee water out of their basement, this Kennebunk, ME, homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist John Wright worked with the homeowner to design a system specific to this basement that would protect the health of the home and prevent the homeowner from having to mop water off the floors.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement with TrenchDrain at high-traffic areas. TrenchDrain allows all water to be channeled into the system, where it flows to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is connected to an exterior Buried Discharge Line with an IceGuard to prevent ice from building up during cold months, ensuring the system works year-round without issue.

The homeowner can now hang the squeegee up and use their basement for storage.

This homeowner in Mexico, Maine needed a vacation in Mexico after they discovered water coming through the floor of their basement. Wanted to fix the issue, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Sam met with the homeowner and put together a plan to keep their basement dry all of the time and make the space usable. To do this Sam designed a full system that would protect the home for its lifetime. 

Starting with some debris removal, the production team installed Drainage Matting and WaterGuard to channel water to a Triple Safe Sump System that will move it far from the house through a buried Discharge Line where it will no longer be an issue. A couple of SmartJacks were added for additional support and once the new Slab is poured, the homeowner will be able to use their basement for the first time. 

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!
