Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Auburn, Maine were having water issues in their basement, in spite of installing a sump pump. The basement is finished and water had caused damage, prompting them to reach out for help waterproofing the area before re-finishing the basement. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump and a SmartSump liner. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, and a third battery backup pump to protect against power loss. The SmartSump liner allows the system to handle a higher water capacity without causing the sump pump to run all the time. We also installed WaterGuard, which is a perimeter drainage system that collects water and directs it to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the home. Lastly, a SaniDry XP high efficiency air system was added to control the humidity in the space to prevent moisture, and also filter allergens from the air to keep the indoor air quality healthy. 

Homeowners in North Yarmouth, ME wanted information on installing a sump pump in their basement. They purchased the home with a hole for a sump pump, however a builder doing renovations filled the hole with concrete so they ended up not having a sump pump for years. Our TripleSafe sump pump system features two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up to protect the basement even when the home loses power. 

A crack in their basement wall has led to water on their floor, and this North Yarmouth, ME, homeowner wanted to address the issue before it caused any damage to their home or belongings. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate, and System Design Specialist Ron Bedard met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system specific to their home’s basement.

The CleanSpace Wall System was installed over the problem area on the wall to catch and channel water to the newly installed WaterGuard Perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard channels water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that is powerful enough to handle the water and push it through a Buried Exterior Discharge Line. To prevent ice from building up and to keep the system running all year round, IceGuard was installed on the discharge line. Finally, TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas, catching every bit of water possible, and the old sump pump hole was filled in as it is no longer useful.

Now the home is protected, and the homeowner doesn’t have to worry about cracks creating puddles in their basement.

This Cape Elizabeth, ME, homeowner was tired of their old sump pump going in and out and not working as it should, allowing water to cover their basement floor. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Peter Folsom worked with the homeowner to design a new sump system that would fit their needs. A TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed in the basement's low spot to capture groundwater and take care of it before it could cause any problems. The Triple Safe features two Zoeller sumps to handle heavy rain situations with the added protection of a battery backup pump. The water gets pumped out of the basement and far away from the home through a Buried Discharge Line. Maine gets cold, so to prevent ice buildup from being a problem during the winter months, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line to ensure the system will run with no hiccups. The homeowner is happy and can use their basement freely without worrying about their items being damaged by water.

Homeowner was dealing with a significant amount of water in different areas of her basement. She wanted her home handled by the professionals so she contacted TC Hafford, who came out to assess the space. After consulting with the homeowner, it was decided that a WaterGuard Drainage System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump would be the best course of action for installation. 

WaterGuard is a perimeter drain that allows water to travel under the floors service, leaving you a dry basement. While the TripleSafe Sump Pump will collect all of the water from the drain and expel it out of the basement and away from the homes foundation.
