Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

With water gathering in puddles on their basement floor, this Berwick, ME homeowner needed something to keep the water out. After searching online for a solution, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could solve their problem. After speaking with our sales representative during their sales estimate, we were given the green light to get started on a WaterGuard & SuperSump installation. Once our crew arrived at the home, they got started on the floor by excavating the perimeter. This allowed for the WaterGuard piping to be laid around the basement floor, just below the surface. Sealed below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will absorb any water as it leaks in through the foundation in the future. The water enters through small slits along the lower edge of the pipes and is guided directly into the SuperSump pump installed in the floor as well. The SuperSump can handle up to 2,650 gallons of water per hour, pumping it out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Finally, outside the home, IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to provide additional protection against flooding. The LawnScape section covers the end with a grate to keep debris from entering the line while the IceGuard allows a way for any water blocked by ice to escape without backing up into the home.

With a permanent waterproofing solution in place, this homeowner no longer needs to suffer from a flooding basement! The WaterGuard piping along with the SuperSump pump will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for years into the future.

Greenland, NH homeowners were looking for help replacing their old, rusted bulkhead doors. We installed a set of new doors that looked more appealing from the exterior, and also closed flush to prevent leaking. 

Springvale, ME homeowners had contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems a few years prior, but held off on completing the work. After more years of water frustrations they called again ready to move forward with repairs. System Design Specialist Peter F. helped create a plan to address the water issues so their basement would remain dry moving forward.

CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard is a perimeter system that funnels water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard.

A local business discovered they had a water problem hiding in their basement wall and wanted to repair it ASAP. We installed CleanSpace Wall System, a vapor barrier, to seal out moisture. WaterGuard perimeter drainage was added and connected to the sump pump we had previously installed. A SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system was also installed to maintain a healthy humidity level to keep the basement dry.

Concerned about mold growth and the resale value of their home, this Bridgton, Maine, homeowner wanted to get ahead of any problems caused by water and called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and discussed their concerns, with the goal of creating a waterproofing system specifically designed for this home. WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed around the basement, with TrenchDrain connected to the TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The TripleSafe Sump will pump the water through an Exterior Discharge line that will take the water far from the home, where it can't be a problem.
