Before & After Photos

Owning a basement without much for waterproofing, this Saint Albans, ME homeowner was tired of finding inches of standing water in their basement. After a quick Google search and a phone call to our office at TC Hafford Basement Systems, this homeowner was set up with a free estimate where they were given details about their options. Once we got the green light to begin work from the homeowner, our crew began by excavating the perimeter of the basement floor. This enabled the installation of WaterGuard piping buried just below the surface of the floor. Next, a SuperSump pump was installed as well as a PVC discharge line with built-in protections on the exterior of the home in the form of an IceGuard pipe segment. Now during heavy rainfall, the WaterGuard piping will capture any leaking moisture and guide it to the sump before it has a chance to gather on the floors surface. The SuperSump will then remove the collected water from the home at a rate over 2,600 gallons per hour. The IceGuard will prevent any blockages in the line from causing a backup in the line by releasing any blocked water through the sides of the pipe.

With these waterproofing solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can now expect a dry basement floor during any rainfall that would have otherwise flooded the space.

Owners of this Dexter, Maine basement were dealing with water intrusion problems coming in from their old rock walls. To keep their basement completely dry, we started with covering the walls with CleanSpace Wall System, which is a vapor barrier sealing moisture out of the space. We poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. A TripleSafe sump pump was added, which connects to the WaterGuard so that water collected in the drainage system is pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a third battery backup pump. The UltraSump battery backup allows the pump to operate even if the home loses power. Finally, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which controls the humidity as well as filters allergens from the air.

This Waldoboro, ME homeowner was in the market for some basement waterproofing when their camp began to flood after rainfall. After contacting our office for a free estimate and meeting with our sales representative, this homeowner gave us the green light to get started on keeping their basement dry in the future. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work on excavating a shallow trench around the perimeter of the concrete slab in the basement. This made room for WaterGuard piping to be laid, surrounding the basement floor. Buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will act as a barrier, capturing any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. Next, a CleanSpace wall system was put in place, covering the walls to prevent any moisture from entering the basement by funneling it down into the WaterGuard below. Finally, due to limited electricity at the camp, a daylight drain was installed in the floor, with the WaterGuard feeding into it. Now any water entering the basement through the foundation or the walls will be intercepted by the WaterGuard & CleanSpace and redirected out of the camp through the drain.

With proper waterproofing in place, this property owner should not experience standing water in the basement of their camp in the future. The WaterGuard will keep water off their floor for years to come!

Homeowners in Waldoboro, Maine contacted us for help when they checked on their seasonal home and found 8" of water in the basement. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump system, which is the top of the line sump with a battery backup. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps that combined can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour in high capacity events. It also features a third battery backup pump to keep the system running even if the home loses power. Installing the TripleSafe sump pump now gives these homeowners peace of mind for when they can't be at the property.

We transformed this Waldoboro, Maine basement from a damp, wet mess into a dry, usable space. The old fieldstone foundation walls and dirt floor were allowing water to easily seep into the basement. We poured a new concrete floor with WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace Wall system is a vapor barrier that was installed on the walls to seal out moisture, giving the basement an updated and clean appearance. The WaterGuard drainage is connected to a TripleSafe sump pump (not pictured here). The TripleSafe has two cast iron Zoeller pumps that remove water from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. A SaniDry Sedona was also installed to control the humidity to a healthy level, as well as filtering allergens from the air, like mold spores.
