Before & After Photos

An Auburn, ME home was under contract to be purchased by new buyers when a home inspection report found cracking and failure in one of the support beams for the home. The buyers contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help saving their home purchase. We installed SmartJacks, a post system that immediately lifts any sagging floors, and provides more than enough support for the beam to safely keep the home secure. The new owners can relax knowing the integrity of their home is intact!

New homeowners in Auburn, ME quickly discovered their basement leaked with every rain. They were planning to use the home as a rental property, but first had to address the intrusion issue that left them with 6" of water at times. To address their water issues, we first poured a new slab floor with drainage matting and WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed for the WaterGuard to tie into so water would get captured and pumped away from the home. CleanSpace Wall System was added around the basement walls as a vapor barrier to seal moisture out and give the basement a fresh, clean look. Their basement will now stay dry and offer usable storage space to any future renters, adding value to the home!

Auburn, Maine homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their dirt floor basement. The homeowners wanted to add a concrete floor, as well as address the water coming into the basement. We poured a new slab floor, immediately improving the basement. WaterGuard drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the basement, which channels water directly to their new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. CleanSpace Wall system was installed on the walls to give a fresh new look to the basement, while also sealing out moisture. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona has a MERV8 filter to remove dust and mold spores, and also controls humidity in the basement to keep it at a healthy level.

Homeowners in North Yarmouth, ME wanted information on installing a sump pump in their basement. They purchased the home with a hole for a sump pump, however a builder doing renovations filled the hole with concrete so they ended up not having a sump pump for years. Our TripleSafe sump pump system features two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up to protect the basement even when the home loses power. 

A crack in their basement wall has led to water on their floor, and this North Yarmouth, ME, homeowner wanted to address the issue before it caused any damage to their home or belongings. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate, and System Design Specialist Ron Bedard met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system specific to their home’s basement.

The CleanSpace Wall System was installed over the problem area on the wall to catch and channel water to the newly installed WaterGuard Perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard channels water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that is powerful enough to handle the water and push it through a Buried Exterior Discharge Line. To prevent ice from building up and to keep the system running all year round, IceGuard was installed on the discharge line. Finally, TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas, catching every bit of water possible, and the old sump pump hole was filled in as it is no longer useful.

Now the home is protected, and the homeowner doesn’t have to worry about cracks creating puddles in their basement.
