Before & After Photos

This Trenton, ME, homeowner has lived in their home for nearly a decade, and in the last three years they have had issues with water making it’s way into their basement. They couldn’t store anything on the floor without it being damaged, and wanting peace of mind that their home would be safe, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and booked a free estimate. System Design Specialist Mark Smith worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system that would waterproof the basement and allow the homeowner to regain control of their basement.

WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement to catch and channel water to the new SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump Plus takes the water and pumps it out of the basement through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water far away from the home. The whole system is protected against ice buildup during winter with the installation of IceGuard on the Discharge line. This ensures that the system will always run, preventing flooding when snow melts. To finish out the waterproofing system, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity in the basement at a safe level, preventing musty smells and mold growth. Now the homeowner is happy that they are able to use their basement again without the risk or concern of their belongings and appliances being damaged because of water.

This Seal Harbor, ME, home has an issue. The homeowner wants to remodel the home, but with water coming in, nothing would be safe from damage. Large cracks in the slab were an invitation to groundwater, and when it rains, water was not shy about showing up without an RSVP. To add some salt to the wound that is a wet basement, this is a summer home and won’t be monitored full-time. This means that if it rains in the off-season, there would likely be no one home to check the basement, leading to more issues and drastically reducing the health of the home.

System Design Specialist Mark Smith worked with the homeowner to put together a plan to solve the issues in the basement and provide the homeowner with peace of mind. A new slab would be necessary as repairing the old one was not worth it. Before the new slab is poured, Drainage Matting is put down with a perimeter of WaterGuard. WaterGuard will take water that seeps in and channel it to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that’s attached to an exterior buried Discharge Line that will move the water away from the house, where it will no longer be a concern. IceGuard is attached to the Discharge Line, preventing the buildup of ice and ensuring clogging won’t be an issue in the winter.

Now that the system is in place, the homeowner is free to remodel the home without the concern of water damage or the need to check on the house every time it rains.

With moisture leaking in through their stone foundation, this Southwest Harbor, ME homeowner needed a way to prevent this moisture from flooding their basement in the future. After receiving their free consultation from our sales representative, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to resolve their foundation problem. Once our installation crew arrived at the property, they began work on the solution to this wet basement problem by installing a TripleSafe sump system in the natural low point of the floor. Now when water enters the space, it will accumulate within the sump where it will then be removed from the basement through a PVC discharge line. The TripleSafe sump contains three pumps within itself. The two main pumps operate on power from the home while the third pump is a battery-operated backup pump. These three pumps work together to ensure water no longer pools up across this basement floor, even during harsh storms.  Outside the home, an IceGuard pipe segment along with a LawnScape discharge port were attached to the discharge line. The IceGuard will provide an extra layer of protection against flooding by allowing any water blocked by ice or debris to escape the line before flooding back into the basement.

With their new sump system in place, this homeowner should no longer find their basement full of standing water following any rainfall. The TripleSafe unit will maintain a water-free basement for this homeowner for years to come!

Moving into a home with no prior moisture protection in the basement, this homeowner needed a way to keep water from leaking into their new home in the future. Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems was able to provide a solution to this problem with a WaterGuard piping installation around the basement perimeter. The buried WaterGuard system captures moisture as it leaks in towards the interior. With a new SuperSump pump installed, the WaterGuard is able to remove the collected water from the basement by passing it through the sump. Finally, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior walls of the basement and Spray Foam was used to fill gaps in the joists above the space. This provides one final layer of defense against the elements; with the CleanSpace holding back any moisture that may enter through the walls as the Spray Foam provides improved heating/cooling efficiency for the homeowner.

With these new installations, this homeowner can now rest assured their new basement won’t be susceptible to flooding and moisture damage. The WaterGuard system will keep this basement water-free for years to come!

This Cherryfield, ME, home was at risk of it’s foundation totally failing which could ruin the home and make it unsafe to live in. The homeowner couldn’t wait long for a solution so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Stacy Hafford worked with the homeowner to design a StableLock Wall System that would protect their home and prevent the foundation from collapsing.

StabeLock Wall System uses modern concrete forming and shoring techniques to fill the voids of the existing wall and stabilizing it to leave a smooth wall. Traditionally, a failing foundation would be repaired but lifting the home and a new foundation being poured. The homeowner would have to move out for a period of time and the costs can be astronomical. With StableLock, the homeowner never has to leave the home and they can save money all while getting the benefit of a new foundation wall. Now that StableLock has been installed, the homeowner and their family can live in their home without being concerned that their safety is at risk.
