Before & After Photos

This Hampton, NH home was purchased two years ago by the current homeowner and they had a few issues that needed to be addressed in the crawlspace so TC Hafford Basement Systems got the call. System Design Specialist Peter Folsom met with the homeowner and put together a plan on how to lift the sagging floor and protect the crawlspace from moisture. 

The CleanSpace system aims to transform a damp and musty crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier environment by effectively managing moisture and preventing water-related issues. It can help improve indoor air quality, protect structural integrity, and create a more comfortable living space above the crawl space.

Benefits of using SmartJacks include increased structural stability, improved floor leveling, prevention of further damage, and the potential to regain the original height and integrity of the floors. Additionally, SmartJacks come with a warranty, providing peace of mind for property owners.

After living with basement troubles for some time, this homeowner thought it was time they finally had something done about it. They contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got to work right away! The main problem concerning this homeowner was their cracking basement wall, which needed additional support. To protect this wall from further damage, nine-foot PowerBrace beams were installed against the surface of the wall, fastened to the floor and joists above the wall. These beams can be tightened over time to force the wall back into position and hold it there permanently. Lastly, to handle the moisture accumulation the homeowner reported, a SuperSump pump was installed in the natural low point of the floor. This will take in any water gathering in the basement and pump it out of the home through a discharge line protected by an IceGuard attachment on the exterior of the home. IceGuard pipe segments protect homes by allowing any water blocked by ice or debris to escape the sides of the line before backing up into the basement.

Now that their basement wall is secured and the moisture problem has been addressed, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about their basement sustaining any long-term damage.

Typically using their basement for basic storage, this Durham, NH homeowner needed a way to protect their basement from leaking moisture. After living with a damp basement floor for some time, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to take care of this problem as quickly as possible. Our crew got to work burying WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. These pipes, below a fresh layer of concrete, will act to pull in any leaking moisture traveling through the foundation. This water is then guided through the piping to the nearby SuperSump pump our crew installed. Here the water will be forced out of the home through a discharge line. The discharge line leaving the home is fitted with an IceGuard section that will protect the basement from any blocked water that may flow back up the line.

With their newly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can now safely use the space for storage without fearing moisture causing damage to their property.

When this homeowners basement flooded during the melting of snow after last winter, they knew they needed something done before this happened again. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate before beginning work on solving their moisture problem. To protect this basement from future flooding, a WaterGuard piping system was installed around the perimeter of the floor. These pipes are buried below the surface of the floor where they will absorb any leaking water before it can reach the surface in the future. Next a TripleSafe sump system was installed and connected directly to the WaterGuard to provide a means to remove the captured water. Finally, IceGuard and LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to further protect the basement from potential leakage causes.

With their newly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can expect a dry basement year-round from now on. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe installation will keep this basement completely water-free for years to come!
