Before & After Photos

This Brewer, ME homeowner never liked to make use of their basement due to the constant damp conditions. They would soon change their mind once they had us over at TC Hafford Basement Systems take a look. Our crew got to work waterproofing this space by surrounding the perimeter of the basement with a WaterGuard piping system buried beneath the floor. These pipes will guide any trapped water to a new TripleSafe sump pump installed in the floor nearby. The TripleSafe will then remove the water from the basement through a discharge line. Lastly, to brighten up the space and keep any moisture on the walls under control, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place. Now this homeowner can enjoy the utility of a dry basement for the rest of their time spent in this home!

Living in Brewer, ME, this homeowner was having trouble keeping their basement dry with a crack in the wall leaking during any rainfall. Looking to quickly remedy this problem, the homeowner contacted our office staff at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we were able to set them up with a free estimate. Following their estimate, they gave us the green light and our installation crew was soon dispatched to the home to begin work. To keep water from entering the problem crack in the future, a FlexiSpan seal was applied over the top of the crack. This seal is built with a foam core to allow structure to bend slightly and remain adhered to any slight changes in the shape of the crack. Once the FlexiSpan seal was complete, a SuperSump pump was installed in the floor of the basement. This device will take in any water that otherwise would have gathered on the floors surface in a pool and force it from the home through a PVC discharge system.

Removing water at a rate over 2,600 gallons per hour, the SuperSump will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for years to come! These waterproofing installations will enable this homeowner to make use of their basement without the need to worry about water damage anymore.

With a relatively old sump pump in their basement, this Old Town, ME homeowner had begun to notice their basement would retain some water after rainfall. Looking to remedy this problem, the homeowner hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. As soon as our crew was able to get out to the home, they began work on the basement foundation by installing a WaterGuard piping system around the majority of the perimeter of the space. These pipes lay beneath the surface of the floor where they trap incoming water and guide it to the TripleSafe pump installed in the existing sump. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by both an IceGuard and LawnScape segments. With both the WaterGuard system as well as a TripleSafe pump, this basement will now be protected against moisture build up without the water ever reaching the surface of the floor and remain protected even during power outages.

Now that their basement is properly waterproofed, this homeowner can utilize the space without fearing water damaging their property. The WaterGuard piping will keep this basement floor dry for years into the future.

With a large crack down the length of their basement wall and allowing water to easily leak in, this Ellsworth, ME homeowner was in need of professional waterproofing. After they contacted our office staff, we were able to get our crew on the job! They first sealed the crack with a three-part FlexiSpan seal, before lining the walls with a CleanSpace liner. While the FlexiSpan keeps the crack water-tight, the CleanSpace will brighten up the space while providing a secondary barrier against possible moisture leakage through the wall. Next, to keep water from leaking through the foundation, WaterGuard piping was installed around the perimeter of the floor leading into a SuperSump pump. This pump, alongside a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier and UltraSump backup battery will keep this basement completely water free, by removing any collected moisture through a PVC discharge line leading out of the home. This line is further protected on the exterior of the home with an IceGuard pipe segment to prevent backing up water from entering the home again.

With their newly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can now make use of their basement however they wish without the fear of water damage. The heavily leaking crack will never again be a problem for this Ellsworth, ME homeowner!

When it rains, this Ellsworth, ME, home has a problem with water coming in through the floor joints and bulkhead, and an old sump isn’t helping the situation. Worried about damage to their home and wanting a healthier basement, the homeowner scheduled a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. Excited to help, System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system that would prevent water from coming in and causing issues for the homeowner.

The old sump pump wasn’t working and needed to be replaced. With the old sump gone, a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed. The TripleSafe features a powerful Zoeller sump placed at the lowest level with a more powerful Zoeller ½ hp pump set higher to take over during situations with a high level of water. To protect a homeowner in the case of a power outage, a third pump is included. The UltraSump Battery Backup sump pump is set at the highest level and is capable of pumping 11,500 gallons or more on a fully charged battery. To catch water and channel it to the TripleSafe, WaterGuard Perimeter Drain and TrenchDrain were installed where needed. WaterGuard was installed under the slab and channels water to the sump pump and has built-in clean-out ports for easy maintenance to keep the system running at 100%. TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas such as the bulkhead entrance to catch the maximum amount of water possible. The TripleSafe has to pump the water somewhere, so a Buried Discharge Line was installed that takes the water away from the home where it won't be a problem. At the end of the Discharge line, a LawnScape outlet was installed to prevent any critters or debris from coming into the line, keeping it clear and unobstructed. Winter months in Maine can get very cold, so to prevent freezing temperatures from slowing down the system, IceGuard was installed at the base of the Discharge line to prevent ice from building up and ensure the system running at 100% all year round. Finally, to prevent mold growth and damage from high humidity in the basement, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to maintain a consistent and safe humidity level. Unlike most dehumidifiers, the SaniDry Sedona drains directly to the TripleSafe, so the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket and can travel without the concern of humidity-causing issues in their basement.

Now that the homeowner is fully protected from water and their old sump pump is long gone, they are able to enjoy their home without worrying about water causing them issues. Their home is healthier; their basement can now be used properly and without the risk of their belongings being damaged
