Before & After Photos

With water regularly flooding their basement, this Harpswell, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to have something done to put an end to it. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work right away by excavating a trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor of the basement. This enabled the installation of WaterGuard piping encircling the slab with pipes specialized in capturing water. After being buried by a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will trap any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future and guide it directly to the new SuperSump pump installed in the corner of the basement. The SuperSump will force any collected water up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. Finally, the basement received an encapsulation of CleanSpace. This liner covers the walls in a thin water-tight barrier, which will intercept any moisture leaking through the walls and direct it down into the WaterGuard below.

With these waterproofing measures in place, this homeowner should no longer enter their basement to find standing water or damp conditions in the future. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will work in tandem to maintain a dry basement for years to come!

This Harpswell, ME, homeowner recently purchased a new home and immediately had issues with water coming into their basement and crawl space area. Uncertain of how it comes in but appearing often, the homeowner wants to address the issue before it becomes a bigger problem or affects the health of their home. Looking for help, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Madore met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system specific to their unique situation.

To address the crawl space portion of the area, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier between the crawl space and the outside elements. CleanSpace not only brightens the area but also aids in keeping critters and moisture out. Drainage Matting creates a barrier gap and allows water to be channeled to the new SuperSump Sump Pump. The SuperSump will push all water out of the area, and because of the CleanSpace and Drainage Matting’s tough design, the crawl space is the perfect storage area for the homeowner.

The basement portion of the space needed to be addressed, and so WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed where needed and connected to another SuperSump Sump Pump. The WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which takes the water and pumps it out of the space through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge Line takes the water away from the home. The homeowner can now live in their home knowing that their basement and crawl space will no longer be an area of trouble.

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.

Without any water protection in place, this homeowner living in Belgrade, ME would regularly experience water gathering in pools on their basement floor. This rendered their basement useless for storage. To protect their basement from water, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew was able to provide a solution for this leaking foundation. When our crew arrived, they were able to install WaterGuard piping within the perimeter of the concrete floor, buried just beneath the surface. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor as well with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments attached to the discharge line leaving the home. Now when moisture tries to enter the space below this home, the water will be trapped by the WaterGuard. Once inside, the water will travel through the buried pipes to the TripleSafe where it will be removed from the home without having reached the surface of the basement floor.

Now that this homeowner has a properly waterproofed basement, they can make use of the space without pooling water destroying their property.

This Oakland, ME, homeowner has been dealing with issues during rain events where their sump wouldn’t work, leaving up to three inches of water in the basement that they use for storage. The homeowner didn’t want to risk their belongings being damaged, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate.

The old sump was no longer doing the job, so it was removed and replaced with a brand 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. Water was leaking in around the perimeter of the basement, so WaterGuard was installed to catch the water and channel it to the SuperSump. Now that the basement is waterproofed, the homeowner can use the space for storage without the worry of their belongings being damaged or costly repairs.
