Owners of this Dexter, Maine basement were dealing with water intrusion problems coming in from their old rock walls. To keep their basement completely dry, we started with covering the walls with CleanSpace Wall System, which is a vapor barrier sealing moisture out of the space. We poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. A TripleSafe sump pump was added, which connects to the WaterGuard so that water collected in the drainage system is pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a third battery backup pump. The UltraSump battery backup allows the pump to operate even if the home loses power. Finally, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which controls the humidity as well as filters allergens from the air.
This Waldoboro, ME homeowner was in the market for some basement waterproofing when their camp began to flood after rainfall. After contacting our office for a free estimate and meeting with our sales representative, this homeowner gave us the green light to get started on keeping their basement dry in the future. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work on excavating a shallow trench around the perimeter of the concrete slab in the basement. This made room for WaterGuard piping to be laid, surrounding the basement floor. Buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will act as a barrier, capturing any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. Next, a CleanSpace wall system was put in place, covering the walls to prevent any moisture from entering the basement by funneling it down into the WaterGuard below. Finally, due to limited electricity at the camp, a daylight drain was installed in the floor, with the WaterGuard feeding into it. Now any water entering the basement through the foundation or the walls will be intercepted by the WaterGuard & CleanSpace and redirected out of the camp through the drain.
With proper waterproofing in place, this property owner should not experience standing water in the basement of their camp in the future. The WaterGuard will keep water off their floor for years to come!
Homeowners in Waldoboro, Maine contacted us for help when they checked on their seasonal home and found 8" of water in the basement. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump system, which is the top of the line sump with a battery backup. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps that combined can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour in high capacity events. It also features a third battery backup pump to keep the system running even if the home loses power. Installing the TripleSafe sump pump now gives these homeowners peace of mind for when they can't be at the property.
We transformed this Waldoboro, Maine basement from a damp, wet mess into a dry, usable space. The old fieldstone foundation walls and dirt floor were allowing water to easily seep into the basement. We poured a new concrete floor with WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace Wall system is a vapor barrier that was installed on the walls to seal out moisture, giving the basement an updated and clean appearance. The WaterGuard drainage is connected to a TripleSafe sump pump (not pictured here). The TripleSafe has two cast iron Zoeller pumps that remove water from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed to control the humidity to a healthy level, as well as filtering allergens from the air, like mold spores.
Before TC Hafford Basement Systems got to this home, the crawl space was dirty, damp, leaky, and gross. As most crawl spaces are. The space was hard to access, it wasn't pleasant to walk through, water was settling in areas causing odors and risk of mold. These homeowners knew it was important to consider the air qualiy in their crawl space, as that's the air their family breathes in the rest of the home.
A System Design Specialist visited the home and inspected the space. Working with the homeowner, they were able to design a system custom for this space that will keep it dry and neat. Our production crew went out and did a great job transforming this space into a safe, dry, odorless, usable area. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, which directed water into the new sump pump in the crawl space. CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier were also installed in the Crawl Space.
