Before & After Photos

After living in their Portland, ME home for three years, this homeowner decided it was time they upgraded from the small sump they got from a hardware store when they moved in. Our crew got to work on their basement by rounding out the existing sump hole and installing a SuperSump system in the floor. This new pump will output at a rate of over 2,600 gallons of water per hour. This water exits the basement through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. Now the homeowner can be sure their sump will keep their basement floor dry during exceptionally heavy rainfall.

While it’s normal to have some fractures in your basement slab, water should not be coming through, and it should not be crumbling. This Portland, Maine homeowner recently moved into their home and knew they needed to address the issue in their basement. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner and put together a system that would protect their home from future water damage and outside elements.

The original slab in the basement was beyond repair, and a new one was necessary. Drainage Matting is laid down to create a barrier between outside elements and the new slab. This protects the new slab and aids in keeping water where it should be. WaterGuard is set around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The new slab is poured, and TripleSafe is connected to a buried exterior discharge line that takes any groundwater away from the basement.

Your basement doesn’t have to be the scariest part of your home, and with TC Hafford Basement Systems, we can make sure that it isn’t.

Homeowners in Portland, Maine were tired of their leaking basement and a sump pump that often failed. We updated their pump to our TripleSafe sump pump, which not only has two Zoeller pumps, but features a third battery backup pump to keep everything operating even if the home loses power. We also installed WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, which collects and water seeping in from the walls or floor and directs it to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the home.

Portland, Maine homeowners were tired of dealing with water intrusion in their basement. We installed our basement waterproofing system to keep their home dry. WaterGuard drainage was installed around the perimeter of the basement, connecting to their new TripleSafe sump pump to pump water away from the home. CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the walls as a vapor barrier, sealing out moisture and directing it to the WaterGuard. A SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system now controls the humidity to a healthy level, preventing moisture.
