Before & After Photos

This Bangor, ME, homeowner loved their home that was built in the 1880’s but knew that they would have to fix the foundation as soon as they purchased the home. Over time, the foundation began shifting and falling in. Worried about their home and the safety of their family, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein worked with the homeowner to design a StableLock Wall System that would fix their foundation without the need of lifting their home.

The standard process to fully repair a failing foundation would be lifting the home while a new foundation can be installed. Using modern concrete forming and shoring methods, StableLock is able to fill in the voids of the existing foundation and stabilize it without the need for the family to ever leave their home. StableLock is more affordable and leaves the homeowner with a fresh, smooth wall with all of the best qualities of a new foundation.

This Castine, ME home was recently purchased, and the new homeowners wanted to address the laundry list of issues that reside in the basement. Water damage can be found throughout the basement, and with a goal of remodeling the home, the new homeowner knew it was important to nip these issues in the bud.

System Design Specialist Mark Smith drove out to meet the homeowner with the goal of designing a system that would fix the issues created by water intrusion and protect the health of the home. With water coming into the basement through the walls and floor, the best course of action was to install WaterGuard Perimeter Drain.

First, Drainage Matting is laid down because a new slab is going to be poured. Drainage Matting creates an inorganic barrier to protect the slab. WaterGuard Perimeter Drain is placed down and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump system. SmartJacks were installed to replace 5 rusted out lally columns to ensure the structural integrity of the home and keep the homeowners safe. The new slab is poured, and a SaniDry Sedona is installed in the basement to maintain optimal humidity levels in the basement. CleanSpace Wall System is installed, and now the homeowner can remodel their home knowing their basement is protected and their home is healthy.

With a relatively old sump pump in their basement, this Old Town, ME homeowner had begun to notice their basement would retain some water after rainfall. Looking to remedy this problem, the homeowner hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. As soon as our crew was able to get out to the home, they began work on the basement foundation by installing a WaterGuard piping system around the majority of the perimeter of the space. These pipes lay beneath the surface of the floor where they trap incoming water and guide it to the TripleSafe pump installed in the existing sump. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by both an IceGuard and LawnScape segments. With both the WaterGuard system as well as a TripleSafe pump, this basement will now be protected against moisture build up without the water ever reaching the surface of the floor and remain protected even during power outages.

Now that their basement is properly waterproofed, this homeowner can utilize the space without fearing water damaging their property. The WaterGuard piping will keep this basement floor dry for years into the future.

This Brewer, ME homeowner never liked to make use of their basement due to the constant damp conditions. They would soon change their mind once they had us over at TC Hafford Basement Systems take a look. Our crew got to work waterproofing this space by surrounding the perimeter of the basement with a WaterGuard piping system buried beneath the floor. These pipes will guide any trapped water to a new TripleSafe sump pump installed in the floor nearby. The TripleSafe will then remove the water from the basement through a discharge line. Lastly, to brighten up the space and keep any moisture on the walls under control, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place. Now this homeowner can enjoy the utility of a dry basement for the rest of their time spent in this home!

Living in Brewer, ME, this homeowner was having trouble keeping their basement dry with a crack in the wall leaking during any rainfall. Looking to quickly remedy this problem, the homeowner contacted our office staff at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we were able to set them up with a free estimate. Following their estimate, they gave us the green light and our installation crew was soon dispatched to the home to begin work. To keep water from entering the problem crack in the future, a FlexiSpan seal was applied over the top of the crack. This seal is built with a foam core to allow structure to bend slightly and remain adhered to any slight changes in the shape of the crack. Once the FlexiSpan seal was complete, a SuperSump pump was installed in the floor of the basement. This device will take in any water that otherwise would have gathered on the floors surface in a pool and force it from the home through a PVC discharge system.

Removing water at a rate over 2,600 gallons per hour, the SuperSump will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for years to come! These waterproofing installations will enable this homeowner to make use of their basement without the need to worry about water damage anymore.
