Before & After Photos

A Vanceboro, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems because they had water seeping into their basement. Our System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with the owner to give them a free estimate on repairs.

Around the perimeter walls of the basement, WaterGuard was installed to channel the water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump with an UltraSump Battery Back-Up. The inclusion of the UltraSump Battery Back-Up is important to keep water out of the basement even during power outages, which tend to be very common in Maine during storms. Once the water gets to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, it has to go somewhere. A discharge line is connected and fitted with IceGuards to prevent freezing and then the line is buried. Water is taken away from the home where it is no longer a problem. To keep the discharge line from being clogged, a LawnScape Outlet is fitted to the end of the pipe to prevent anything from entering the discharge line. To take care of any humidity in the basement, a Sanidry Sedona dehumidifier is set up with an additional line attached to the TripleSafe Sump Pump so the homeowner doesn't have to go into the basement to empty buckets of water. 

A Pembroke, ME homeowner contacted us for help with the stacked stone basement in their older home. The walls and floor had damage from cracking and crumbling, and water was coming into the basement. We poured a brand new slab floor, along with WaterGuard to channel moisture to the brand new TripleSafe sump pump system. CleanSpace Walls were installed around the basement as a vapor barrier sealing out moisture and preventing mold growth. The homeowner can use their basement safely now that it is dry and protected!

Living in Pembroke, ME, this homeowner had a developing moisture problem in their basement. Looking for ways to remedy this problem, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we were able to set them up with a free estimate. After hearing their options, they hired us right away to get started on a permanent solution to the moisture problem. This began with a WaterGuard piping system being buried beneath the surface of the concrete floor, around the perimeter of the basement. This will form a barrier to capture moisture leaking in through the foundation. Next, a TripleSafe sump system was installed in the basement floor with the WaterGuard feeding directly into it. Now any water captured by the barrier of piping will be guided straight to the TripleSafe for removal from the basement without any moisture gathering on the floors surface. Finally, a CleanSpace wall system was put in place, lining the walls with a waterproof seal to intercept any wall leakage and guide it down into the WaterGuard.

These waterproofing installations will ensure this basement remains water-free for years to come! The WaterGuard & TripleSafe systems working together will be more than enough to keep this basement dry and usable for the homeowner.

With water regularly leaking into their basement through a gap below a door leading in from the outside, this Pleasant Point, ME homeowner needed a solution to keep the water at bay. After they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and receiving their free estimate, our installation crew made their way to the home to provide the homeowner a permanent solution to their problem. To combat the water leaking into this basement through the opening below the door, a WaterGuard piping system along with TrenchDrain section were buried within the perimeter of the floor. With the TrenchDrain running below the door, flush with the floors surface, any water leaking into this basement in the future, either through the door or foundation, will be captured by the WaterGuard and guided to the homeowners existing sump where the water will exit the home.

Now that this homeowner has a WaterGuard piping system protecting their basement, any leaking moisture will no longer become a puddle on their floor. A flooding basement is now a thing of the past for this Pleasant Point, ME homeowner.

After the most recent flooding of their basement, this homeowner living in Lubec, ME had had enough. They decided it was time they had the space waterproofed and called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to get it done. When our crew arrived at the home, they got started right away installing WaterGuard piping beneath the perimeter of the basement floor. These pipes, leading to a TripleSafe sump system, will pull in and trap any water leaking into this basement in the future. The water will then be pumped out of the home by the new TripleSafe pump, where it will no longer cause this homeowner any trouble. Finally, a CleanSpace wall liner was installed around the walls of the basement, to both provide a larger area of moisture protection as well as to brighten up the interior of the basement. With these improvements below their home, this homeowner should no longer suffer from a regularly flooding basement!
