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.
A homeowner in Bass Harbor, Maine was dealing with a wet, musty basement that led to persistent leaks and moisture issues. Concerned about water damage and air quality, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a comprehensive solution. Our team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System and WaterGuard Interior Drainage to keep the water out, while EverLast Wall Panels provided a clean, moisture-resistant finish. To control humidity and prevent mold, we also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control humidity and remove dust and mold spores. Now, their basement is dry, healthy, and fully protected—ready to be used and enjoyed year-round.
A previous customer already had our TripleSafe sump pump system at another property, so when they purchased their new property and had an old sump with a leaking basement, they gave us a call right away. We replaced their old sump with the TripleSafe system. The TripleSafe has three pumps - two Zoeller pumps, and a third battery backup pump. We also installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that collects water seeping into the basement and channels it to the TripleSafe to be pumped away. CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the walls as a vapor barrier to seal moisture out. A new SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system was installed to control the humidity in the basement. Capable of removing over 100 pints of water from the air per day, the SaniDry Sedona is the world's most efficient dehumidifier.
New owners of an investment property quickly discovered the walls and floors of the basement had water leaking into the space. They wanted to use the basement for storage, and to protect their new investment as the home would be rented in the summer for short term rentals. As shown in the before photo, the original basement flooring had gaping cracks allowing water to seep in. We poured a brand new slab floor to protect the entire basement, along with slab WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard channels any moisture directly to the TripleSafe sump pump system to remove it from the home. On the walls we installed CleanSpace Wall system along with SprayFoam insulation. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that protects against cracking walls to seal moisture out, and because it is an inorganic material it also prevents mold growth. The SprayFoam insulation keeps the space air tight to help the owners save on energy bills. These new homeowners can now rest knowing their investment is protected.
