This Dover, NH, homeowner had an issue: whenever it would rain, a stream would form in their basement that would lead to their old sump pump. Worried about mold and damage, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Rick Russell drove out and met with the homeowner to work with them on creating a waterproofing system that would be specific to their home.
WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed in the necessary areas of the home where water was coming in and was connected to a SuperSump Sump Pump system. WaterGuard is buried under the slab floor and channels water to a sump pump. WaterGuard features ports that allow for easy cleaning and service if necessary. The SuperSump takes the water and pushes it out of the basement through a Buried Discharge Line that gets the water away from the home where it can’t cause anymore issues. New England can get cold during the winter, so IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line to prevent ice buildup, keeping the waterproofing system working all year-round without troubles. Now the homeowner has a dry basement, and they no longer have to worry about mold damaging their basement, and their family and home will be healthier.
High humidity in a basement will lead to mold and mildew, creating unhealthy living conditions and can potentially ruin a homeowner’s belongings. No one deserves to have their family breathing in bad air, and this Dover, NH, homeowner began to grow concerned as their old dehumidifier was not cutting it anymore. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems with the goal of replacing their old dehumidifier and keeping their basement humidity at a safe level.
The homeowner opted to have a new SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed to keep the air dry and their family healthy. The SaniDry Sedona is capable of removing 95 pints of water from the air a day and filters mold spores, dust mite droppings, and other particles from the air. The SaniDry is more energy efficient than the average dehumidifier, costing less to run, and is set it and forget it. Unlike the typical dehumidifier that fills up a bucket that needs to be dumped regularly, the SaniDry Sedona drains to a discharge line, meaning the homeowner never needs to check on it and the basement humidity stays at a safe level all the time. The homeowner is happy again knowing their basement is protected and their family will stay healthy as mold is no longer a concern and musty odors are taken care of with their new SaniDry Sedona.
Wanting to cure their humidity and puddle problems in their basement, this Seabrook, NH homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Rick Russell drove out to meet with the homeowner for a free estimate and worked with them to design a system that would meet their needs and protect the health of their home.
Replacing the old sump pump was a must for the customer to make sure water would be pumped out of the basement before it had a chance to form any puddles. A SuperSump was installed in place of the old sump and connected to a Buried Exterior Discharge line that takes the water far from the home where it won’t cause any problems. IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line to prevent ice from building up during the cold winter months, ensuring that the system will run smoothly year-round. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in the basement to keep humidity at a safe level, preventing mold, musty odors, and keeping the space safe for storage. Now this Seabrook, NH home is protected, and the homeowner can use their basement to its fullest potential.

With water gathering in puddles on their basement floor, this Berwick, ME homeowner needed something to keep the water out. After searching online for a solution, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could solve their problem. After speaking with our sales representative during their sales estimate, we were given the green light to get started on a WaterGuard & SuperSump installation. Once our crew arrived at the home, they got started on the floor by excavating the perimeter. This allowed for the WaterGuard piping to be laid around the basement floor, just below the surface. Sealed below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will absorb any water as it leaks in through the foundation in the future. The water enters through small slits along the lower edge of the pipes and is guided directly into the SuperSump pump installed in the floor as well. The SuperSump can handle up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour, pumping it out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Finally, outside the home, IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to provide additional protection against flooding. The LawnScape section covers the end with a grate to keep debris from entering the line while the IceGuard allows a way for any water blocked by ice to escape without backing up into the home.
With a permanent waterproofing solution in place, this homeowner no longer needs to suffer from a flooding basement! The WaterGuard piping along with the SuperSump pump will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for years into the future.
