Before & After Photos

System Design Specialist Craig Z. helped a local church in Athens, Maine that was getting water coming in onto their basement floor after rain storms. Water had already damaged the carpeting that was in the space, causing it to be removed. The church wanted the basement to be a usable space again. We installed a SuperSump Plus pump system to remove the water. The SuperSump can handle over 2,000 gallons of water per hour, pumping it away from the home to keep the basement dry. 

We helped homeowners in Alna, Maine who had water coming into the basement through the old stone foundation walls. To address the water leakage, we installed CleanSpace Wall System, a vapor barrier that seals moisture out of the basement, directing it behind the liner down to the new WaterGuard drainage system. We poured a new concrete floor with WaterGuard, and a SuperSump pump. The SuperSump can handle over 2,000 gallons of water per hour, pumping it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. Not only will their basement stay dry, they now have an appealing space they can use without worry about damage to their belongings.

The WaterGuard drainage system is installed around the perimeter of the basement floor to collect water that seeps in through the walls or floor. It directs this water to the TripleSafe sump pump, which then pumps the water out and away from the home. Together, they create a comprehensive waterproofing solution to keep the basement dry and prevent future water issues.

Looking to keep their regularly wet basement dry, this Waterville, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems for their free estimate. Liking what we could offer them, they hired us right away to solve their moisture problems. First, to create a barrier protecting against leaking water, both a WaterGuard piping system and CleanSpace liner were installed around the perimeter of the basement floor and walls respectively. The CleanSpace liner will both brighten up the basement interior while providing protection against any moisture seeping through the concrete walls. This blocked water, as well as water leaking in from below the basement will enter the WaterGuard piping buried within the floor. Once inside these specialized pipes, the water is guided straight to a SuperSump installed nearby in the floor. With the help of an UltraSump backup battery for power outage protection; the SuperSump will remove any water that would have otherwise found its way to the surface of this basement floor.

With these new waterproofing solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can expect their basement to remain dry even during heavy rainfall. The WaterGuard & SuperSump duo will keep this home water-free for years to come!

Even with a sump in place below their home, this homeowner was in need of a more capable system to handle the water-removal in their basement. After their appointment for a free estimate with us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, this homeowner gave us the green light to begin work on upgrading their sump system. Our installation crew first excavated a shallow trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor. WaterGuard piping was then installed within this trench, feeding directly into the TripleSafe sump pump placed inside the sump. While the WaterGuard piping is designed to capture and transport leaking water, the TripleSafe device houses three pumps within itself, to maintain a dry basement during any weather. While the primary and secondary pumps operate off the homes power, the third pump runs off a battery in order to maintain operation during power outages. After installation, a fresh layer of concrete was poured to seal the WaterGuard below the surface of the floor.

With their newly upgraded basement waterproofing, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about their sump becoming overwhelmed and flooding the basement. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe installations will maintain a dry basement for this homeowner to utilize however they may need.
