Before & After Photos

Having lived with a wet basement for years, this homeowner needed a permanent solution to keep their basement dry now that they could no longer keep the water at bay themselves. To properly waterproof the space, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set the up with a free estimate soon after. Once they gave us the go-ahead, our installation crew was able to get started on putting a WaterGuard system in place. The WaterGuard piping is buried in a shallow trench around the perimeter of the basement floor, covered by a fresh layer of concrete to conceal it within the floor. Once in place, the WaterGuard will absorb any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future, keeping the surface of the floor water-free. This trapped water is guided below the floor to the SuperSump pump also installed by our crew. This pump can remove water from the home at a rate of 2,650 gallons of water per hour through the discharge line. Outside the home, a IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were intersected into the line to provide extra protection for the basement. The IceGuard will prevent any blockages in the line from causing water to back up into the home while the LawnScape covers the end of the line with a grate to keep out debris.

Now that a more permanent solution has been put in place, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about manually removing any water accumulating in their basement. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will ensure this basement stays dry for many years into the future!

Having to manually remove water from their basement following any rainfall was not something this homeowner was too keen to continue. After seeing TC Hafford Basement Systems in their newspaper, they called us to ask about a free estimate. Following their estimate, our installation crew was dispatched to get started on resolving this homeowner’s wet basement problem. Once our crew arrived, they began work on the basement by excavating the perimeter of the floor, creating a shallow trench. This trench enabled WaterGuard piping to be laid surrounding the basement floor. These pipes have slits built-in to capture moisture as it leaks through the foundation during future rainfall. Once buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will collect any moisture before it can reach to floors surface to pool up. This water is then guided below the floor to the SuperSump pump attached directly to the WaterGuard. The SuperSump removes 2,650 gallons of water per hour, plenty of power to keep this basement completely water-free!

Now this homeowner can relax during rainstorms, instead of struggling to keep their basement dry themselves. The WaterGuard & SuperSump system will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for the future!

This Kittery Point, ME homeowner wanted to use their basement for storage but felt uncomfortable doing so because of water problems. Looking to take care of their issue and regain control over their basement, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner to go over their concerns and design a system that would keep the home healthy and their belongings safe. First, the old sump was removed and replaced with a SuperSump that is connected to a Buried Discharge Line. The SuperSump takes all groundwater and pumps it through the Buried Discharge Line far enough from the house where it can’t cause any trouble. To keep the system running all year round without issue, IceGuard is installed to prevent ice buildup during the harsh Maine winter months. Now the homeowner is able to use their basement for storage without concern of their belongings being damaged.

This basement was in desperate need for improvement. It is now much better thanks to the help of CleanSpace Encapsulation and Spray Foam. The basement will be dry and much more energy efficient. 

This Lyman, ME homeowner has lived in their home for over 28 years and after that amount of time you get to know the home and it’s problems pretty well. The homeowner knew that they had moisture issues in their basement and didn’t want the issue to go unchecked too much longer. Looking to live in a healthy and safe home, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and booked a free estimate.

System Design Specialist Ron Bernard worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system for their home that would protect the health of the home and exceed the expectations of the homeowner. Mold has caused issues for the homeowner so getting the space dry was the first concern that needed to be addressed. WaterGuard was laid around the perimeter where needed and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard captures water and channels it to the TripleSafe which is powerful enough to take large amounts of water and pump it out of the basement through a Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge Line takes the water far enough from the home where it can no longer cause issues. To prevent ice buildup and ensure that the system works all year round, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge Line. In high traffic areas of the basement such as doorways, TrenchDrain was installed to capture as much water as possible and feed it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump. To finish up the waterproofing system, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at a safe level where mold wont grow and the homeowners belongings wont be damaged. The Sanidry Sedona drains to the TripleSafe so the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket of water and the dehumidifier will always run as it needs to.

To finish the homeowner’s basement system, SmartJacks were installed where needed to support the floor above and remove any bounce that the floors had. SmartJacks can be adjusted over time to meet the changing needs of the home and more can be added in the future if needed without interrupting the current system. Now the homeowner’s basement is dry, moisture free and the floors above stable. The home is not only healthier, but with yearly service and the TC Hafford Basement Systems warranty, the homeowner can live in their home with true peace of mind.
