Before & After Photos

When it rains, it puddles, but unfortunately, it puddles in this South China, ME homeowner’s basement as well as their driveway. Looking to keep the rain outside, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to see what we could do about their water problems. System Design Specialist Adam Hamm drove out to meet the homeowner and work with them to design a waterproofing system that would solve their troubles.

Needing to handle ground and rainwater, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the slab to channel the water. The water needs a place to go, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed at the lowest point and connected to the WaterGuard to pump the water out of the basement and through a Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge Line takes the water far from the home where it can’t cause any trouble, and to prevent ice buildup from hindering the system during the winter months, IceGuard was installed. To finish up the system, the old sump hole was filled in and capped, and now the homeowner no longer has to deal with water in their basement.

After years of flooding issues in their basement and water reaching as high as three inches, this Jefferson, ME, homeowner was tired of the issues. Mold could be found on items, which caused the basement to be unusable. Looking to regain control of their basement and use it for storage, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Kathryn Dolan met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a basement waterproofing system that would keep the basement dry all the time.

The homeowner needed protection through the whole basement, so WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch and channel water. WaterGuard is installed under the slab to catch ground water and any water that may seep in from the foundation. TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas and doorways to catch any water that may find its way in when coming in from outside. TrenchDrain connects to the WaterGuard where the water is channeled to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is capable of taking the water and pumping it out of the home through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge line takes the water far away from the house, and to prevent ice buildup during the cold Maine winters, IceGuard was installed. This keeps the waterproofing system functioning year-round, ensuring the basement is always dry. Finally, CleanSpace Wall System was installed where necessary and tied into the WaterGuard. Now the homeowner is free to use their basement as they originally intended, and water and mold are a thing of the past.

This Greenville homeowner wanted to take care of the water in their basement before mold became an issue. Water was coming up through the floor and in past the walls. Without waterproofing the basement, the homeowner would never be able to use the space for storage. Wanting to fix their issues and protect the health of their home, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate.

System Design Specialist Adam Hamm met with the homeowner and over 90 minutes, they put together a system that would meet the needs of the homeowner and allow them to finally use the space. The system include a new Slab, WaterGuard Perimeter drain, a CleanSpace Wall system, and a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that is connected to a buried Discharge Line that would take the water far away from the home where it would no longer be a problem.

Now the homeowner has a beautiful space where they can store anything they need without the worry of water damaging their belongings.

Needing to use the basement of their property for regular meetings, this Pittsfield, ME property owner was looking for a way to keep out the moisture that would occasionally leak into the space. After being referred to us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, the property owner hired us to take care of their waterproofing needs. In order to eliminate the accumulation of moisture on the basement floor in the future, WaterGuard Piping was installed around the perimeter of the floor leading into a new TripleSafe sump system. A CleanSpace wall system was installed to cover the interior walls of the basement, creating a seal that would lock out any unwanted water. From now-on, any moisture flowing in through the foundation of this basement will be blocked by new barriers and transported to the sump for removal from the basement through the discharge line.

Now this property owner can hold their meetings without any fear of moisture or dampness interfering with the proceedings. The WaterGuard piping will keep this basement floor water-free for years into the future!
