During heavy rainfall, this homeowner always found their basement would take on water through the concrete foundation. To put an end to this, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after we gave them a free estimate, they hired us to get the job done. Upon arriving at the home, our crew got started on installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the floor, buried just below the surface. The WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking through the floor in the future and guide the captured water to the TripleSafe sump system installed in the floor. Lastly, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place around the entire basement. This barrier will collect any water leaking through the walls and feed it directly into the WaterGuard below.
With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner will never again find their basement full of water after a heavy rain!
Over the past year, this Falmouth, ME homeowner has been dealing with water in their basement and, wanting to use the space, decided it was time to tackle the issue. Wanting to make sure their basement stayed dry, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Lou DiStasio worked with the homeowner to design a system that would channel water, keeping the basement dry and the homeowners’ belongings safe.
The homeowner wanted to keep their whole basement dry year-round, so WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of their basement. The WaterGuard channels the water to a connected TripleSafe Sump Pump that is connected to a Buried Exterior Discharge Line. In high-traffic areas such as doorways, TrenchLock is installed in place of WaterGuard to ensure all water is being collected. To finish off the system and keep the homeowners’ belongings safe, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed. Unlike most dehumidifiers, the SaniDry Sedona is connected to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, so the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket of water, keeping their basement at an ideal humidity level.
The homeowner is able to spend Christmas now focusing on festivities and less on their basement, as it is now waterproofed and their belongings safe.
When this Cumberland, ME homeowner began to have moisture problems in their garage, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could help. A door connected to their garage had been allowing rainwater to leak in and gather in the entryway. After they met with our representative, our installation crew was able to get started jackhammering out the old concrete floor of the entry space. Once clear, a fresh slab was poured within the space and WaterGuard piping was installed within the perimeter of the new floor. Running below the doorway, a TrenchDrain was used to capture any water leaking directly under the door in the future. The grate on the top of the TrenchDrain rests level with the floor, allowing any water to spill right in. Finally, a SuperSump system was installed to receive any captured water and remove it from the home through a discharge line.
This homeowner can now be sure any water that would have previously entered this space will be removed from the home without pooling up on their floor. The WaterGuard piping & SuperSump pump will keep this entryway water-free for the foreseeable future!
With water constantly flooding into their basement during rainfall, this homeowner was looking to have their basement waterproofed as soon as possible. After receiving a free estimate from our sales representative, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done! The perimeter of the basement floor was excavated to make room for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the basement. This new piping system will act as a low-pressure pocket to attract any leaking moisture before it reaches the surface of the floor from below the home. This trapped water is guided through the WaterGuard to the SuperSump pump freshly installed in the floor. Once in the sump, any water is forced from the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home.
With these systems implemented successfully and working together, this Mechanic Falls, ME home is now fully waterproofed. Now any leaking moisture will be pumped from the home before any accumulation occurs on the basement floor.
For several years, these homeowners have been dealing with a moldy, messy basement. In order to use the basement more efficiently, and resell the house easily in the future, they decided to call TC Hafford. Our team of professionals installed a waterproofing system to prevent future leaks, poured a brand new concrete floor, and installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. A SaniDry Sedona will keep the humidity low to prevent future growth of mold as well.
