Cracking Wall in Fayette, ME Basement Sealed and Supported with FlexiSpan & PowerBrace Installations

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!

Basement Water Issues Preventing Remodel

This Winthrop, ME, homeowner wanted to remodel their basement but couldn’t because of water finding its way into their basement and causing issues. The homeowner wanted to fix their problems before springtime, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the help they needed.

WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement where water was seeping in to capture it and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup pump. The battery backup pump protects the homeowner during a rain event when their power goes out. TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas and around appliances, then connected to the WaterGuard. The TripleSafe was connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water away from the home and protects the waterproofing system against ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard. Finally, to keep the humidity in the basement at a safe level and prevent mold and musty odors, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. The homeowner is happy that their basement is protected and they can use their basement however they want without worrying about damage.

SmartSump & FlexiSpan Installations Protect Brunswick, ME Basement from Moisture

After locating some seepage coming in through their basement wall, causing water damage and mold, this homeowner began looking for solutions to this problem right away. Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems provided a free estimate on repairs and began work on solving this problem for the homeowner as soon as our crew was available. The culprit for this moisture damage was a crack in the foundation hidden behind the drywall. To cover this crack for good, a FlexiSpan seal was applied. This three-layer seal will completely lock out moisture, preventing any future leaks through this crack. Next, to handle any moisture that may gather on this floor through other sources, a SmartSump pump was installed in the basement floor. Finally, ThermalDry flooring was installed to provide a soft, insulated surface across the basement floor. These panels have built-in channels below them to guide any water to the sump for removal before it has a chance to build up and becoming a problem.

These waterproofing measures will enable this homeowner to make use of their finished basement without fear of future water damage causing mold growth or property damage. The FlexiSpan Seal & SmartSump pump will keep this basement water-free for years into the future!
