Before & After Photos

Harpswell, Maine homeowners reached out because their basement was smelly, and they noticed water pooling on the floor. Musty odors often come from basements that are high in moisture and humidity, allowing things like odors or mold to take over. We installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity in the basement, while also filtering the air. The SaniDry Sedona has a MERV 8 filter to remove allergens and control odors, and the dehumidification system can remove over 100 pints of water from the air each day. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump system to remove groundwater before it seeps into the basement. 

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners with this leaking basement recently. The foundation walls had some vertical cracks allowing water to seep in, and the basement did not have a sump pump. We installed CleanSpace Wall System to cover the wall cracks and direct water to the new WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace Wall System is a vapor barrier that seals moisture out of the basement, while allowing incoming water to remain behind the liner and direct to the drainage and sump pump. WaterGuard connects to their new TripleSafe sump pump so water is pumped away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which removes over 100 pints of water from the air per day!

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.

Manchester, ME homeowners needed help with their basement that kept having standing water after rain events. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on the needed repairs. We installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, to help capture the water they were experiencing. WaterGuard connects directly to the new TripleSafe sump pump so it can be pumped away from the home. 

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.
