Before & After Photos

As shown in the “Before” picture, this basement was beginning to show signs of water damage along the walls. Our installation crew solved this by installing WaterGuard piping beneath the surface of the floor around the outer edge of the basement floor. ZenWall tiles and ThermalDry flooring were used to bring the basement a more finished look and feel; as shown by in the “After” picture.  This basement is now ready to be used by the family without the need to worry about future moisture damage!

Typically needing to make use of a shop-vac to help remove water pooling up in their basement, this Sidney, ME homeowner needed a more permanent solution fast! They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and following their free estimate, we were able to begin work on the basement. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started by excavating a portion of the basement floor to make room for a SuperSump pump to be placed flush withing the floor. The SuperSump was further secured with a fresh coat of concrete to fill any remaining cracks in the floor. Now during rainfall or melting snow this new SuperSump will take in and force any leaking water out of the home through a PVC discharge line. This line will carry the water a distance from the home before releasing it onto the ground to drain away.

With a more permanent water removal system in place below their home, this homeowner will no longer need to dry their basement floor themselves. The SuperSump pump will keep this basement water-free for years down the road!

Water had not been shy about leaking into this Chelsea, ME, basement, and after years of using pallets to protect their appliances and belongings, the homeowner decided enough was enough. It was time to call TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes met with the homeowner and put together a plan to give them peace of mind while they travel. The system started with a WaterGuard Perimeter drain connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. TrenchDrain was incorporated where necessary, and BrightWall was attached to the walls, not only to brighten the basement but also to add another layer of waterproofing. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed to keep the basement’s humidity at a safe level. The SaniDry Sedona connects to the TripleSafe, meaning the homeowner never has to empty a bucket again. All water is pushed out of the home through a buried discharge line, away from the foundation. Now, the homeowner no longer needs to worry about their basement and can spend their time relaxing on vacation.

Without any water protection in place, this homeowner living in Belgrade, ME would regularly experience water gathering in pools on their basement floor. This rendered their basement useless for storage. To protect their basement from water, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew was able to provide a solution for this leaking foundation. When our crew arrived, they were able to install WaterGuard piping within the perimeter of the concrete floor, buried just beneath the surface. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor as well with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments attached to the discharge line leaving the home. Now when moisture tries to enter the space below this home, the water will be trapped by the WaterGuard. Once inside, the water will travel through the buried pipes to the TripleSafe where it will be removed from the home without having reached the surface of the basement floor.

Now that this homeowner has a properly waterproofed basement, they can make use of the space without pooling water destroying their property.
