Living in a home with a regularly damp basement, this Auburn, ME homeowner was in the market for some basement waterproofing. After being referred to us by their neighbor, they called our TC Hafford Basement Systems office staff and we set them up with a free estimate from one of our sales representatives. As soon as our installation crew was able to, they got to work excavating the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. WaterGuard piping was then put in place around the perimeter and covered by a fresh coat of concrete. These pipes along with the Drainage Matting on the floors surface and SuperSump sump pump will keep this basement water-free for years to come!
Auburn, ME homeowners contacted TC Basement Systems for help with their wet and leaky basement. They bought the home in November and by springtime realized the snow melt and rainwater was seeping into the basement where the wall meets the floor. They were constantly having to use towels to try to cleanup and dry the area. We installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that channels any moisture to their new TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe has a battery back up in case of power loss, as well as a back up pump in the event of pump failure. No more ruining towels for these happy homeowners!
An Auburn, ME home was under contract to be purchased by new buyers when a home inspection report found cracking and failure in one of the support beams for the home. The buyers contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help saving their home purchase. We installed SmartJacks, a post system that immediately lifts any sagging floors, and provides more than enough support for the beam to safely keep the home secure. The new owners can relax knowing the integrity of their home is intact!
New homeowners in Auburn, ME quickly discovered their basement leaked with every rain. They were planning to use the home as a rental property, but first had to address the intrusion issue that left them with 6" of water at times. To address their water issues, we first poured a new slab floor with drainage matting and WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed for the WaterGuard to tie into so water would get captured and pumped away from the home. CleanSpace Wall System was added around the basement walls as a vapor barrier to seal moisture out and give the basement a fresh, clean look. Their basement will now stay dry and offer usable storage space to any future renters, adding value to the home!
Homeowners in North Yarmouth, ME wanted information on installing a sump pump in their basement. They purchased the home with a hole for a sump pump, however a builder doing renovations filled the hole with concrete so they ended up not having a sump pump for years. Our TripleSafe sump pump system features two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up to protect the basement even when the home loses power.
