Before & After Photos

This Cherryfield, ME, home was at risk of it’s foundation totally failing which could ruin the home and make it unsafe to live in. The homeowner couldn’t wait long for a solution so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Stacy Hafford worked with the homeowner to design a StableLock Wall System that would protect their home and prevent the foundation from collapsing.

StabeLock Wall System uses modern concrete forming and shoring techniques to fill the voids of the existing wall and stabilizing it to leave a smooth wall. Traditionally, a failing foundation would be repaired but lifting the home and a new foundation being poured. The homeowner would have to move out for a period of time and the costs can be astronomical. With StableLock, the homeowner never has to leave the home and they can save money all while getting the benefit of a new foundation wall. Now that StableLock has been installed, the homeowner and their family can live in their home without being concerned that their safety is at risk.

Owning a home with a regularly flooding basement, this Forest City, ME homeowner decided it was time to have some done to put an end to this flooding once and for all. To achieve this goal, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew got to work providing this homeowner the permanent solution they were looking for. To trap water leaking in through the foundation before it could reach the surface of the basement floor, WaterGuard piping was buried within the floor perimeter. The WaterGuard will capture the moisture and guide it to the newly installed TripleSafe sump system to remove the water from the basement. The water is pumped from the home through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. This piece of specialty piping protects against blockages in the line such as ice and releases any built-up water before it is able to reach back into the interior of the basement to cause more flooding.

Now when it rains, this homeowner can expect their basement to remain dry with their new WaterGuard piping system in place. These waterproofing measures will keep this Forest City, ME basement dry for years into the future!

This homeowner living in Princeton, ME was in dire need of a waterproofing system below their home. The leakage had gotten so bad, the homeowner couldn’t even walk on their basement floor without covering their feet with water. After seeing us on their TV and contacting our Wells office, we were able to set this homeowner up with a free estimate. When our installation crew got to work on the basement, they began by excavating the old concrete slab to replace it with new one. The new slab came equipped with WaterGuard piping laid around the exterior edge, but beneath the surface. These pipes will collect any moisture entering through the foundation from now-on and guide the collected water to the TripleSafe sump pump installed nearby. The TripleSafe will now force any water out of the out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Lastly, a CleanSpace wall system was put in surrounding the basement interior. This will brighten up the space as well as providing a barrier against any moisture that might enter through the walls of the basement.

With proper waterproofing below their home, this homeowner can not make use of their basement again. The WaterGuard piping will keep this floor water-free for years down the road!
