Before & After Photos

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.

Living with a damp and grimy basement, this Gardiner, ME homeowner thought it was time they had something done about it. They contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to receive a free estimate and gave us the green light to begin work on their basement as soon as possible. As soon as our crew arrived, they got started by excavating the old basement floor to replace it with a properly waterproofed concrete slab. While pouring the new slab, a Drainage Matting, WaterGuard piping and a SuperSump pump were all installed within. The Drainage Matting creates a layer below the slab to channel moisture toward the outer edge of the foundation. Surrounding the basement, hidden just below the surface of the floor is the WaterGuard piping. These pipes will capture any leaking water and guide it directly to the SuperSump to be pumped from the home before reaching the surface. Finally, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the basement walls. This liner will not only brighten up the basement for future use, but it will also block any moisture leaking in from the walls and direct it down into the WaterGuard for efficient water-removal.

With these waterproofing measures now installed below their home, this homeowner now has a dry, healthy basement to use how they see fit. The WaterGuard & CleanSpace installations will maintain a water-free environment in this basement for years to come!

With a black mold growing in their basement and regular flooding after rainfall, this Bath, ME homeowner was looking for a solution! They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and following their free estimate from our sales representative, they hired us to get started on upgrading their failing sump as soon as possible. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they were able to begin work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the floor. This trench opened enough space to lay WaterGuard piping down around the basement. After sealing these pipes in place with a fresh layer of concrete, they will act to intercept any moisture leaking through the foundation in the future. This collected water is guided through the WaterGuard to the SuperSump pump installed where the old pump had been. The SuperSump system is able to remove over 2,600 gallons of water from the home every hour. This water flow out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard segment just outside the home. The IceGuard is built in a way that provides any water blocked by ice or debris a way to escape the line without backing up into the basement.

With an upgraded sump pump, this homeowner should no longer experience a flooding basement after any rainfall. Their new WaterGuard system will maintain a dry basement floor for years to come!
