Before & After Photos

This crawlspace in Arrowsic Maine needed some love so the homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done. Our System Design Specialist Daryl met with the homeowner and after analyzing the issues in the crawl space, designed a system that would meet the homeowners needs. Utilizing CleanSpace, Drainage Matting, SprayFoam and a SmartSump, this crawl space will now be protected. With this system, the homeowner will have peace of mind knowing that the CleanSpace encapsulates the crawl space and water collected by the SuperSump will be moved far from the house through a buried discharge line where it will no longer be a problem.

This crawl space in Bath, ME, was giving the homeowner a laundry list of issues that were causing them to spend money on costly repairs. Concerned about the water in their crawl space and pipes freezing during the winter months, this homeowner decided to take action and book a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nick Ciciarelli worked with the homeowner to design a complete encapsulation system that would take care of the dirt floor, drafty walls, and the water coming into their basement.

The area was regraded, and Drainage Matting was laid on the ground to create an inorganic barrier between the dirt and the new Slab that needed to be poured. Before the new Slab could be poured, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch and channel water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump with Battery Backup. The water has to go somewhere, so the TripleSafe is connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard installed. With the crawl space waterproofed, the new Slab was able to be poured, and SprayFoam was installed along the rim joists and walls where needed to insulate the crawl space and protect the pipes underneath the home from freezing. The last step in setting up this crawl space for success was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier that drains directly to the TripleSafe so the homeowner never has to empty a bucket and the crawl space stays at a safe humidity level all the time.

Now the homeowner is happy knowing their crawl space is no longer a nightmare and their home and family will be safer and healthier.

This Arrowsic, ME, homeowner has been dealing with moisture under their home, leading to mold and ruined belongings. Their basement would leak when it rained, and their crawl space was almost constantly damp with a musty odor. The homeowner loved their home and wanted to protect it and their belongings from further damage, so they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Madore met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system that would completely revitalize and protect the home.

Waterproofing the Basement

To take care of the water in the basement, WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed to collect and channel water in the problem areas and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe holds two Zoeller sumps with an additional Battery Powered Backup sump to protect the homeowner in the case of a power outage. The TripleSafe drains through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water far from the home. The system is protected against ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard, keeping the system running during the winter. Next, SprayFoam was installed to insulate the area, keeping cold air out and making the entire home more energy efficient. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed and connected to the TripleSafe so instead of having to empty a bucket of water when it fills, the SaniDry drains to the TripleSafe, keeping the humidity at a safe level all of the time.

Encapsulating the Crawl Space

Sealing up the crawl space and keeping moisture out was the next, so CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. After regrading the area, Drainage Matting was laid down and is designed with large dimples to elevate the CleanSpace and channel water to the new SuperSump that was installed. CleanSpace was then installed and attached to the walls to seal up the crawl space. CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that keeps moisture and creatures out and reflects light to brighten the area, making it perfect for storage.

Now the home is protected against water damage, and the family no longer has to worry about breathing in mold or dealing with musty odors. Their basement and crawl space are set up to be used for storage without the risk of their belongings or appliances being damaged.

This homeowner in Bath, ME, has been dealing with water in their basement throughout the year, causing mold and floor buckling. Wanting to fix their basement troubles for good, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Tom Rich worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system that would keep water out and prevent mold and damage.

Before the new slab could be poured, the area needed to be waterproofed. Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier that would protect the slab and help channel groundwater to the WaterGuard Perimeter Drain with it’s dimpled design. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The TripleSafe includes two Zoeller pumps with an additional Battery Powered Backup pump that keeps the basement dry during a power outage. The TripleSafe drains through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that’s protected against freezing with the installation of IceGuard. Now that the area was fully prepped, the new slab was poured and smoothed. The homeowner is able to enjoy and use their basement without the risk of water damaging anything, and water is kept out, protecting the homeowner against mold.

As shown in the “Before” picture, this basement was beginning to show signs of water damage along the walls. Our installation crew solved this by installing WaterGuard piping beneath the surface of the floor around the outer edge of the basement floor. ZenWall tiles and ThermalDry flooring were used to bring the basement a more finished look and feel; as shown by in the “After” picture.  This basement is now ready to be used by the family without the need to worry about future moisture damage!
