Before & After Photos

This Winthrop, ME, homeowner wanted to remodel their basement but couldn’t because of water finding its way into their basement and causing issues. The homeowner wanted to fix their problems before springtime, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the help they needed.

WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement where water was seeping in to capture it and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup pump. The battery backup pump protects the homeowner during a rain event when their power goes out. TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas and around appliances, then connected to the WaterGuard. The TripleSafe was connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water away from the home and protects the waterproofing system against ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard. Finally, to keep the humidity in the basement at a safe level and prevent mold and musty odors, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. The homeowner is happy that their basement is protected and they can use their basement however they want without worrying about damage.

The customer's basement was constantly at risk due to a failing sump system. Water leaks and the fear of flooding made it hard to enjoy the space, and the unreliable pump added stress with every storm. With the TripleSafe Sump Pump installed, the basement is now dry, secure, and worry-free. The advanced system ensures reliable protection, even during heavy rains, giving the customer peace of mind and a basement they can truly use and enjoy.

After locating some seepage coming in through their basement wall, causing water damage and mold, this homeowner began looking for solutions to this problem right away. Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems provided a free estimate on repairs and began work on solving this problem for the homeowner as soon as our crew was available. The culprit for this moisture damage was a crack in the foundation hidden behind the drywall. To cover this crack for good, a FlexiSpan seal was applied. This three-layer seal will completely lock out moisture, preventing any future leaks through this crack. Next, to handle any moisture that may gather on this floor through other sources, a SmartSump pump was installed in the basement floor. Finally, ThermalDry flooring was installed to provide a soft, insulated surface across the basement floor. These panels have built-in channels below them to guide any water to the sump for removal before it has a chance to build up and becoming a problem.

These waterproofing measures will enable this homeowner to make use of their finished basement without fear of future water damage causing mold growth or property damage. The FlexiSpan Seal & SmartSump pump will keep this basement water-free for years into the future!

With water regularly flooding their basement, this Harpswell, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to have something done to put an end to it. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work right away by excavating a trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor of the basement. This enabled the installation of WaterGuard piping encircling the slab with pipes specialized in capturing water. After being buried by a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will trap any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future and guide it directly to the new SuperSump pump installed in the corner of the basement. The SuperSump will force any collected water up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. Finally, the basement received an encapsulation of CleanSpace. This liner covers the walls in a thin water-tight barrier, which will intercept any moisture leaking through the walls and direct it down into the WaterGuard below.

With these waterproofing measures in place, this homeowner should no longer enter their basement to find standing water or damp conditions in the future. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will work in tandem to maintain a dry basement for years to come!
