A Perimeter of Protection

Concerned about mold growth and the resale value of their home, this Bridgton, Maine, homeowner wanted to get ahead of any problems caused by water and called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and discussed their concerns, with the goal of creating a waterproofing system specifically designed for this home. WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed around the basement, with TrenchDrain connected to the TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The TripleSafe Sump will pump the water through an Exterior Discharge line that will take the water far from the home, where it can't be a problem.

Springtime Water Problems

During springtime, the Bridgton, ME home had a tendency to welcome in water, and the homeowner was ready to tackle the problem, so they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner for a free estimate. Together, they designed a system specific to this basement that would take care of any water issue and protect the health of the home.

 

A WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed in front of the problem areas and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump, which will channel and push water out of the basement and into an Exterior Discharge Line. To prevent ice buildup and ensure the system works year-round, IceGuard is connected. Finally, a SmartJack was installed to stabilize the floor above, completing the system and protecting the home.

Moving Wall and Wet Basement Causing Problems for Homeowner

A moving wall was creating problems for this Bridgton, ME, homeowner, leading to an unstable foundation and water in their basement. Wanting to get ahead of the issue before springtime when the water is worse, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner, and together they designed a waterproofing and foundation repair system that would meet the needs of the home and protect their family.

When a foundation begins to move or break down, the home would have to be lifted and a new foundation poured in its place. With StableLock Wall System, the homeowner never has to leave the comfort of their home. StableLock is a quicker and more cost-effective solution to a failing foundation using modern shoring and forming methods. StableLock fills the voids of the failing wall, stabilizing it and leaving a new, smooth wall in its place. To catch groundwater and keep the basement dry, WaterGuard was installed where needed to channel water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe sump pump features two Zoeller pumps with an included battery-powered backup pump. The battery backup pump comes on in the event of a power outage, keeping the homeowner protected from water coming into their basement and causing issues. The TripleSafe takes the water and pumps it out through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home, and with the installed IceGuard, the system is protected against ice buildup, and the system runs all year without issue. To finish the waterproofing system, the homeowner opted to have a SaniDry Sedona installed to keep the humidity in their basement at a safe level. Now the homeowner is able to enjoy their basement and use it for storage without the risk of their belongings being damaged.

Basement Waterproofing Project in Portsmouth, NH

This Portsmouth, NH basement had water intrusion problems, as seen by the damp floors and efflorescence on the foundation walls. Efflorescence is the white powdery substance on the walls that happens when water comes in and evaporates, leaving behind a residue of minerals and salts. To waterproof the space, we poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. BrightWall panels were installed on the walls to give a fresh, clean appearance and seal out moisture. Their new TripleSafe sump pump will pump water away from the home, keeping the basement dry. 

Waterproofing Wet Basement in Portsmouth, NH

Homeowners in Portsmouth, NH had renovated ~3/4 of their basement but their old sump pump kept failing, causing water to ruin the renovations they had invested in. They wanted the basement properly waterproofed and protected so they could continue to enjoy the finished space. We installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard is a perimter drainage system that captures water coming in through walls or the floor and then directs that water to the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe sump pump then pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The TripleSafe can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour, and it has a battery backup system, ensuring it will operate in all conditions.
