Crew was very informative and answered all questions. Waiting for rainy season to start in order to see sub-pump in action. Last task is to have crew come over to dig outside drainage ditch once snow melts.

We are so pleased with the job you did on waterproofing our basement. We have been away for the past week, so I don't know if we have had a hard long rain.  But...the basement is dry.  And to be out of the country for so long with the greatest peace of mind knowing we did not have to fear leaking or flooding was just wonderful. Thank you for a great job.

    Hampton, NH homeowner calls TC Hafford Basement Systems to solve his sagging floor and encapsulate the crawlspace!

    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.

    Durham, NH Basement Waterproofed Properly with WaterGuard Piping

    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!

    Even with a sump pump in their basement floor, this homeowner would still find water pooled up in their basement from time to time. They hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to provide a permanent solution to the problem. As soon as our crew arrived at the home, they got to work installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the basement floor. These pipes are buried beneath the floors surface to capture moisture as it travels in toward the basement interior. This water becomes trapped in the WaterGuard where it is then guided to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe will force the water from the home through a discharge line protected by both an IceGuard segment and a LawnScape port. These will keep the basement safe from blockage in the lower end of the line that might cause water to backup into the basement again through the discharge.

    With these solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can rest assured there will no longer be puddles of water on their basement floor after rainfall. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe combination will maintain a dry basement floor for many years to come!

    After living with a wet basement for some time, this Dover, NH homeowner thought it was time they did something about it. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate as soon as possible. After they spoke with our sales representative, they hired us to get started right away! Once our installation crew made it out to the home, they got started by installing a WaterGuard piping system surrounding the basement floor, buried below the concrete. These pipes will capture moisture as it leaks through the pores in the foundation, guiding it to the SuperSump pump also installed in the basement floor. Once in the sump, the water will be pumped out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by both an IceGuard pipe segment and LawnScape discharge port outside the home. Finally, a CleanSpace liner was utilized to cover the walls of the basement with a waterproof barrier. This will both brighten up the space as well as channel any moisture down into the WaterGuard below for removal.

    With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can now make use of their basement without fearing water damage to their property. The CleanSpace liner & WaterGuard piping will keep water from collecting on this basement floor for years into the future!

    With water regularly leaking into their basement during heavy rains, this homeowner living in Lebanon, ME needed something more than the sump they had, to keep the water out. After the homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, we were able to find them the solution they needed to protect their basement. Our installation crew got started by excavating room for our WaterGuard piping system around the outer edge of the floor. Before covering over the previous sump and the WaterGuard with fresh concrete, a SuperSump pump was installed and connected to the WaterGuard. Now when water attempts to leak in through the foundation, the low-pressure created by the WaterGuard piping will pull in and capture the water; guiding it to the SuperSump for removal from the basement without reaching the surface of the floor in the future.

    Now that this homeowner has a WaterGuard system acting as a barrier to outside moisture, they can expect to find their basement remains dry even after heavy rainfall. Alongside the SuperSump, the WaterGuard will ensure this basement floor remains water-free!

    With water gathering in puddles on their basement floor, this Berwick, ME homeowner needed something to keep the water out. After searching online for a solution, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could solve their problem. After speaking with our sales representative during their sales estimate, we were given the green light to get started on a WaterGuard & SuperSump installation. Once our crew arrived at the home, they got started on the floor by excavating the perimeter. This allowed for the WaterGuard piping to be laid around the basement floor, just below the surface. Sealed below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will absorb any water as it leaks in through the foundation in the future. The water enters through small slits along the lower edge of the pipes and is guided directly into the SuperSump pump installed in the floor as well. The SuperSump can handle up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour, pumping it out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Finally, outside the home, IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to provide additional protection against flooding. The LawnScape section covers the end with a grate to keep debris from entering the line while the IceGuard allows a way for any water blocked by ice to escape without backing up into the home.

    With a permanent waterproofing solution in place, this homeowner no longer needs to suffer from a flooding basement! The WaterGuard piping along with the SuperSump pump will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for years into the future.
