Before & After Photos

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 homeowner living in Princeton, ME was in dire need of a waterproofing system below their home. The leakage had gotten so bad, the homeowner couldn’t even walk on their basement floor without covering their feet with water. After seeing us on their TV and contacting our Wells office, we were able to set this homeowner up with a free estimate. When our installation crew got to work on the basement, they began by excavating the old concrete slab to replace it with new one. The new slab came equipped with WaterGuard piping laid around the exterior edge, but beneath the surface. These pipes will collect any moisture entering through the foundation from now-on and guide the collected water to the TripleSafe sump pump installed nearby. The TripleSafe will now force any water out of the out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Lastly, a CleanSpace wall system was put in surrounding the basement interior. This will brighten up the space as well as providing a barrier against any moisture that might enter through the walls of the basement.

With proper waterproofing below their home, this homeowner can not make use of their basement again. The WaterGuard piping will keep this floor water-free for years down the road!
