Before & After Photos

A Harpswell, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to repair their wet basement. The homeowner was getting ready to list the home for sale and wanted to be sure to address the basement issues. System Design Specialist Ken C. created a plan to waterproof the area.

We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, which captures and channels water to the new SuperSump Plus system. The SuperSump Plus pumps the water through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes it far from the home. The Discharge line is protected against ice buildup during the winter months with the installation of IceGuard. Now that the basement will remain water free, the homeowner has added value to help get top dollar on the sale of their house!

Harpswell, Maine homeowners reached out because their basement was smelly, and they noticed water pooling on the floor. Musty odors often come from basements that are high in moisture and humidity, allowing things like odors or mold to take over. We installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity in the basement, while also filtering the air. The SaniDry Sedona has a MERV 8 filter to remove allergens and control odors, and the dehumidification system can remove over 100 pints of water from the air each day. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to remove groundwater before it seeps into the basement. 

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners with this leaking basement recently. The foundation walls had some vertical cracks allowing water to seep in, and the basement did not have a sump pump. We installed CleanSpace Wall System to cover the wall cracks and direct water to the new WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace Wall System is a vapor barrier that seals moisture out of the basement, while allowing incoming water to remain behind the liner and direct to the drainage and sump pump. WaterGuard connects to their new TripleSafe sump pump so water is pumped away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which removes over 100 pints of water from the air per day!

This Harpswell, Maine basement was constantly leaking, causing damage to personal items and a headache for the homeowners to have to clean up. Most of the water was seeping in through cracks in the foundation walls. We installed CleanSpace Wall system, which is a vapor barrier liner that is attached to the wall to seal out moisture. CleanSpace is made of an inorganic material, so it is mold resistant as well. Moisture comes in and is directed behind the liner down to their new WaterGuard drainage system. WaterGuard connects to a new TripleSafe sump pump (not pictured here) that pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. Spray Foam insulation was also installed around the perimeter of the rim joists to seal the CleanSpace liner, and keep cold air out. Spray Foam insulation is water and mold resistant, so it is a great choice to use in basements.

At this Bingham, ME, home, water intrusion has led to a damaged freezer and heating unit. Ready to solve the problem and protect their home and belongings from further damage, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate.

System Design Specialist Adam Hamm met with the homeowner to discuss their concerns and design a system that would surpass their expectations and protect the health of the home. Water was coming up through a floor drain, leading to as much as three feet of standing water. To ensure that water would not flood the basement, a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed and connected to an exterior buried discharge line with IceGuard. IceGuard prevents ice buildup during the cold season, keeping the system running all year round.

The homeowner is now protected against water intrusion and can relax, knowing they won’t have to replace expensive appliances again because of flooding.
