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.

This Swanville, ME, homeowner has had a leaky basement for over five years and has noticed it getting progressively worse over the last year. Water has been coming in and creating a small stream in front of their fireplace, which has ruined the bottom of the walls, making it impossible to finish the basement. With no plans to move anytime soon, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid sat with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system that would address the needs of the home and exceed the homeowner's expectations. A WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed and connected to a SuperSump, which is attached to an exterior buried discharge line that takes the water far from the home, preventing further issues. With waterproofing protection in place, the homeowner is now free to finish their basement and finally turn it into a usable space.

When this Newport, ME homeowner contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems with a water leakage problem, we had just the permanent solution they were looking for! Following their free estimate, our installation crew began work on the home by excavating a shallow trench into the majority of the existing basement floor. This was soon replaced with a fresh concrete slab as well as a WaterGuard piping system buried within the perimeter. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the basement floor nearby with the WaterGuard feeding directly into it. The TripleSafe system houses three pumps; two pumps to handle the bulk of the water with a third, battery-operated backup pump to handle any power-outages. Finally, a CleanSpace wall system was put in place, covering the walls of the space with a water-tight seal that drains down into the WaterGuard below. Now during any rainfall or melting snow, leaking moisture will be captured by the WaterGuard before reaching the surface of the floor and forced out of the home through the TripleSafe discharge line.

With these waterproofing solutions in place, this homeowner can now rest assured their basement will remain water-free all year-round. The WaterGuard piping working in tandem with a TripleSafe pump will prevent future leaking in this basement for years to come!

This Vinalhaven, ME homeowner wanted to take care of their basement and preserve the health of their beautiful home. After noticing how wet their crawlspace would get, the homeowners called TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Todd Bernard met with the homeowner to help them accomplish their goals. Todd put together a complete system that would protect the home from future water. In the system, Todd used CleanSpace with drainage matting to encapsulate the crawlspace portion of the basement. In addition to the CleanSpace, Todd used WaterGuard to capture any water and move it to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System where it will be pumped 40 feet away from the home through a buried discharge line. Now the homeowner can rest easy at night, knowing that their basement is now protected, and the health of their home is preserved.

Before TC Hafford Basement Systems got to this home, the crawl space was dirty, damp, leaky, and gross. As most crawl spaces are. The space was hard to access, it wasn't pleasant to walk through, water was settling in areas causing odors and risk of mold. These homeowners knew it was important to consider the air qualiy in their crawl space, as that's the air their family breathes in the rest of the home. 

A System Design Specialist visited the home and inspected the space. Working with the homeowner, they were able to design a system custom for this space that will keep it dry and neat. Our production crew went out and did a great job transforming this space into a safe, dry, odorless, usable area. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, which directed water into the new sump pump in the crawl space. CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier were also installed in the Crawl Space.
