This homeowner has lived at this Scarborough, ME, property for over six years but recently developed a problem that could not go unfixed. When it rains or during snowmelting, their open sump hole would allow water to come in and cover part of their basement floor. Not willing to risk their belongings being damaged or risk mold growth due to the water in their basement, they scheduled a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement System, and System Design Specialist Nicholas Ciciarelli met with them. Together, Nick and the homeowner worked together to design a waterproofing system that would meet the needs of the basement and protect the health of the home. The old sump needed to be removed so the hole could be dug out to make room for the new TripleSafe Sump Pump with Battery Backup. Once the TripleSafe is installed, it then gets connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water far away from the home. To ensure the system runs year-round without the risk of ice buildup, IceGuard is installed on the Discharge line to protect the system, keeping the system running at 100%.
We received a call from a homeowner in New Gloucester, ME and System Design Specialist Tom Rich went out to meet with the homeowner for a free estimate. In order to fully protect the basement, Tom put together a solution using WaterGuard perimeter drain and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. Now the homeowner can rest easy knowing that water will no longer be an issue!
The homeowners of this property in South Portland wanted to protect their home against water and keep their home from sagging. TC Hafford Basement Systems was able to accomplish this by protecting the home using a variety of tools that we have available to us including, WaterGuard with a new Slab and drain matting, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, SmartJacks and Spray Foam.
During heavy rainfall, this homeowner always found their basement would take on water through the concrete foundation. To put an end to this, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after we gave them a free estimate, they hired us to get the job done. Upon arriving at the home, our crew got started on installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the floor, buried just below the surface. The WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking through the floor in the future and guide the captured water to the TripleSafe sump system installed in the floor. Lastly, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place around the entire basement. This barrier will collect any water leaking through the walls and feed it directly into the WaterGuard below.
With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner will never again find their basement full of water after a heavy rain!
Over the past year, this Falmouth, ME homeowner has been dealing with water in their basement and, wanting to use the space, decided it was time to tackle the issue. Wanting to make sure their basement stayed dry, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Lou DiStasio worked with the homeowner to design a system that would channel water, keeping the basement dry and the homeowners’ belongings safe.
The homeowner wanted to keep their whole basement dry year-round, so WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of their basement. The WaterGuard channels the water to a connected TripleSafe Sump Pump that is connected to a Buried Exterior Discharge Line. In high-traffic areas such as doorways, TrenchLock is installed in place of WaterGuard to ensure all water is being collected. To finish off the system and keep the homeowners’ belongings safe, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed. Unlike most dehumidifiers, the SaniDry Sedona is connected to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, so the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket of water, keeping their basement at an ideal humidity level.
The homeowner is able to spend Christmas now focusing on festivities and less on their basement, as it is now waterproofed and their belongings safe.
