Before & After Photos

Living in a home with a regularly flooding basement, this Bangor, ME homeowner was looking for ways to put an end to this flooding. The homeowner was referred to us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and called our office in Wells, ME to ask about a free estimate. After hearing what we could do for them, the homeowner hired us to get started on solving their wet basement problem.

When our installation crew arrived at the home, their first task was to remove the old basement floor and replace it by pouring a fresh slab. This new slab, however, was fitted with WaterGuard Piping around the perimeter, just below the surface. These pipes inside the floor will capture any moisture leaking in through the concrete, trapping it and directing it to the newly installed SuperSump pump. Now any leaking water will be removed from the basement by the SuperSump before any of it can reach the surface of the floor. The water then exits the discharge line a distance from the home where it can harmlessly drain into the ground.

With a proper waterproofing system in place below their home, this homeowner can now expect to find a dry basement even during rainfall. The WaterGuard piping alongside the SuperSump pump will ensure this basement remains completely water-free!

This Hermon, ME homeowner would occasionally find their basement floor pooling up water during or after heavy rainfall. Looking to put an end to this leakage, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew was able to get started on the solution soon after. To capture any leaking moisture before it can reach the surface of the floor in the future, a WaterGuard piping system was buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete around the perimeter of the basement floor. This piping feeds directly into the TripleSafe pump where it deposits any collected moisture to be removed from home through a PVC discharge line. To further protect this basement from potential for flooding, an IceGuard specialty pipe section was attached to the discharge line on the exterior of the home. This piece of piping will allow any water blocked by ice or debris in the lower line to escape the pipe before backing up into the interior of the basement once again.

With these permanent solutions in place, this homeowner can rest assured their basement will remain dry for years into the future! The WaterGuard piping alongside the TripleSafe sump will keep any would-be flooding at bay.

In the market for an upgrade to their existing sump, this Bangor, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see what we could do for them. Shortly after receiving their free estimate, they gave us the green light to get started on the installation. When our crew arrived at the home, they began by removing the existing sump from the basement. Once the failing sump was removed, a SuperSump pump was installed in the floor. The new SuperSump can remove over 2,600 gallons of water from the home every hour, which exits the basement through a PVC discharge line. Outside the home, IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to further protect the basement from flooding. The IceGuard section protects against blockages within the line such as ice by allowing a route for any blocked water to escape the line should water begin to travel back up the pipe. On the end of the line, the LawnScape port provides a grate to prevent debris such as leaves from entering the line and causing blockages.

With their new sump installed, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about any rainwater overpowering their system and flooding their basement. The SuperSump pump will ensure this basement remains water-free for years down the road.

In the last 3 years, this home has been put through the wringer. Mold, moisture, and musty smells have plagued this home in Hermon, ME, and the homeowners decided that they have had enough. The homeowners have goals of finishing the basement and made the decision to call TC Hafford Basement Systems.

System Design Specialist Mark Smith went out to the home and met with the homeowners to put together a plan that helps them achieve their goals. Each waterproofing system that TC Hafford installs is tailored specifically to the home and the homeowners' goals. During this process, Mark spent time with the homeowners to make sure they knew exactly what would be installed in their home, and Foreman Greg made sure that it was installed with the highest quality possible.

The system Mark built with the homeowners included the CleanSpace Wall System that covers the walls and channels water to WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a perimeter drain that is connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System that’s connected to a buried discharge line. From there, the water is pushed far away from the home where it will no longer be a problem.

Now the homeowners can have the finished basement of their dreams without the concern of water ruining their hard work.

Having lived in the home for a little over two years, this Bangor, ME homeowner wanted to address the mess that their sump pump had become over the years. The open pit and leaky pipes were not only inefficient, but also leaky as well. Wanting to take care of the issue, the homeowner called TC Hafford and requested a free estimate. System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would fulfil the needs of the basement.

The old sump was removed, and a brand new SuperSump was installed at the lowest point to make sure all water would be channeled efficiently. New piping was run and connected to a Buried Discharge line outside of the home to take water away from where it could ever be a problem. All Discharge lines are equipped with IceGuard to protect against freezing, ensuring that the system stay efficient even during the harsh Maine winters.

The homeowner is now set up for success and can enjoy spending time in their home without being concerned about their basement year-round.
