Before & After Photos

Looking to keep their regularly wet basement dry, this Waterville, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems for their free estimate. Liking what we could offer them, they hired us right away to solve their moisture problems. First, to create a barrier protecting against leaking water, both a WaterGuard piping system and CleanSpace liner were installed around the perimeter of the basement floor and walls respectively. The CleanSpace liner will both brighten up the basement interior while providing protection against any moisture seeping through the concrete walls. This blocked water, as well as water leaking in from below the basement will enter the WaterGuard piping buried within the floor. Once inside these specialized pipes, the water is guided straight to a SuperSump installed nearby in the floor. With the help of an UltraSump backup battery for power outage protection; the SuperSump will remove any water that would have otherwise found its way to the surface of this basement floor.

With these new waterproofing solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can expect their basement to remain dry even during heavy rainfall. The WaterGuard & SuperSump duo will keep this home water-free for years to come!

Even with a sump in place below their home, this homeowner was in need of a more capable system to handle the water-removal in their basement. After their appointment for a free estimate with us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, this homeowner gave us the green light to begin work on upgrading their sump system. Our installation crew first excavated a shallow trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor. WaterGuard piping was then installed within this trench, feeding directly into the TripleSafe sump pump placed inside the sump. While the WaterGuard piping is designed to capture and transport leaking water, the TripleSafe device houses three pumps within itself, to maintain a dry basement during any weather. While the primary and secondary pumps operate off the homes power, the third pump runs off a battery in order to maintain operation during power outages. After installation, a fresh layer of concrete was poured to seal the WaterGuard below the surface of the floor.

With their newly upgraded basement waterproofing, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about their sump becoming overwhelmed and flooding the basement. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe installations will maintain a dry basement for this homeowner to utilize however they may need.

This Waterville, ME, homeowner has had a consistent leak in their basement since moving in, which has led to their basement floor being damaged. Wanting to finish their basement without their hard work and money going down the drain, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Ken Castillo worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system specifically for their needs.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement where needed to catch and channel water to the new SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump Plus features a battery back up system and the larger TripleSafe Sump Liner for the easy addition of a second Zoeller sump pump if needed in the future to offer the homeowner three levels of protection. An External Buried Discharge line is installed and connected to the SuperSump Plus to drain the water from the basement out of the home and far away, where it will no longer be a problem. To prevent the system from ice buildup and keep the system running during every season, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line. The homeowner is now able to refinish their basement floor without the risk of it being damaged by water, and they can finally use the space as it was intended.

When it rains, it puddles, but unfortunately, it puddles in this South China, ME homeowner’s basement as well as their driveway. Looking to keep the rain outside, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to see what we could do about their water problems. System Design Specialist Adam Hamm drove out to meet the homeowner and work with them to design a waterproofing system that would solve their troubles.

Needing to handle ground and rainwater, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the slab to channel the water. The water needs a place to go, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed at the lowest point and connected to the WaterGuard to pump the water out of the basement and through a Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge Line takes the water far from the home where it can’t cause any trouble, and to prevent ice buildup from hindering the system during the winter months, IceGuard was installed. To finish up the system, the old sump hole was filled in and capped, and now the homeowner no longer has to deal with water in their basement.

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!
