Before & After Photos

Following a recent home inspection, a homeowner in Fairfield received unsettling news regarding a failing foundation that demanded immediate attention. Swiftly reaching out, the homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems. Expert System Design Specialist Thomas Rich evaluated the situation and devised a comprehensive solution.

Introducing the innovative StableLock Wall System, designed to address the escalating challenges of deteriorating foundations. The conventional approach involving house lifting, removal of the compromised wall, and subsequent pouring of a new concrete wall proved excessively disruptive and financially burdensome. Harnessing cutting-edge concrete forming and shoring techniques, StableLock not only fills voids but also reinforces existing walls, resulting in a seamless, resilient wall that encapsulates the superior attributes of a freshly constructed basement wall.

Preserve both your home and your finances with the transformative potential of StableLock!

Looking to keep their regularly wet basement dry, this Waterville, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems for their free estimate. Liking what we could offer them, they hired us right away to solve their moisture problems. First, to create a barrier protecting against leaking water, both a WaterGuard piping system and CleanSpace liner were installed around the perimeter of the basement floor and walls respectively. The CleanSpace liner will both brighten up the basement interior while providing protection against any moisture seeping through the concrete walls. This blocked water, as well as water leaking in from below the basement will enter the WaterGuard piping buried within the floor. Once inside these specialized pipes, the water is guided straight to a SuperSump installed nearby in the floor. With the help of an UltraSump backup battery for power outage protection; the SuperSump will remove any water that would have otherwise found its way to the surface of this basement floor.

With these new waterproofing solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can expect their basement to remain dry even during heavy rainfall. The WaterGuard & SuperSump duo will keep this home water-free for years to come!

Even with a sump in place below their home, this homeowner was in need of a more capable system to handle the water-removal in their basement. After their appointment for a free estimate with us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, this homeowner gave us the green light to begin work on upgrading their sump system. Our installation crew first excavated a shallow trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor. WaterGuard piping was then installed within this trench, feeding directly into the TripleSafe sump pump placed inside the sump. While the WaterGuard piping is designed to capture and transport leaking water, the TripleSafe device houses three pumps within itself, to maintain a dry basement during any weather. While the primary and secondary pumps operate off the homes power, the third pump runs off a battery in order to maintain operation during power outages. After installation, a fresh layer of concrete was poured to seal the WaterGuard below the surface of the floor.

With their newly upgraded basement waterproofing, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about their sump becoming overwhelmed and flooding the basement. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe installations will maintain a dry basement for this homeowner to utilize however they may need.

This Waterville, ME, homeowner has had a consistent leak in their basement since moving in, which has led to their basement floor being damaged. Wanting to finish their basement without their hard work and money going down the drain, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Ken Castillo worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system specifically for their needs.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement where needed to catch and channel water to the new SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump Plus features a battery back up system and the larger TripleSafe Sump Liner for the easy addition of a second Zoeller sump pump if needed in the future to offer the homeowner three levels of protection. An External Buried Discharge line is installed and connected to the SuperSump Plus to drain the water from the basement out of the home and far away, where it will no longer be a problem. To prevent the system from ice buildup and keep the system running during every season, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line. The homeowner is now able to refinish their basement floor without the risk of it being damaged by water, and they can finally use the space as it was intended.

Every time it rained, water would come into this Waterville, ME, basement and leave a mess on the floor. After putting a tarp down to try and contain the mess, the homeowner knew they needed a permanent solution to their basement problems. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Ken Castillo met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that was right for them.

The homeowner opted to install a new Slab with WaterGuard. Before the new slab was poured, the area was cleaned out, and Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and protect the new slab. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement where needed to collect and channel water. The water needs to go somewhere, so the WaterGuard was connected to a new SuperSump Plus, which takes the water and pumps it out of the basement through a Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and is protected from ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard. After the area was done being prepped, the new slab was ready to be poured, and the homeowner now has a wonderful basement that is safe to use, and the tarp can now be kept in the garage.
