TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We tackled the leaking garage issue by installing a TrenchDrain System to redirect water and a TripleSafe Sump Pump to ensure reliable drainage. Problem solved!

Hampden, Maine homeowners had a cracked and sunken garage floor that was causing concern. Water intrusion had compromised the concrete slab over the years, and the owners wanted the floor level again. We poured a brand new slab floor in their garage, smoothing and leveling the space. We also installed a SmartSump pump to remove any incoming water away from the garage. TrenchDrain grate was installed along the doorways and high traffic areas to capture incoming water and channel it directly to the SmartSump.

Homeowners in Hampden, Maine had a home built in the 1800's that had old, cracked, stone foundation walls. The owners were concerned about the structural integrity of the home. We replaced their old rusted lally columns and wooden posts with SmartJacks. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that are custom fit to support the home above. The zinc coating protects the steel so it will not rust. The home now has ample support to keep it stable for many more years to come!

In Hampden, ME, this homeowner had a problem with their basement. Anytime the snow melted or heavy rain came down, their basement would get wet. Flooding twice last year, this homeowner was ready to take care of their basement troubles and called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. Eager to help, System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that was specific to their needs.

The homeowner wanted to use their basement year-round for storage, so keeping the whole basement dry was important to them. WaterGuard was laid around the perimeter of the basement, with TrenchDrain in high-traffic areas. WaterGuard collects and channels the water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump, and TrenchDrain ensures all water is collected at the entryways. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is capable of pushing all the water from the WaterGuard out of the basement and through the new Buried Discharge Line. To make sure the system works during the freezing winter months, IceGuard was attached to the Buried Discharge Line to prevent ice buildup. Now the homeowner can use their basement as they please since their basement is fully waterproof and will stay dry all the time.

System Design Specialist Mark S. met with a Hampden, ME homeowner to give a free estimate on repairing their leaking basement. Their slab was cracking and water was seeping in, causing headaches for the homeowner. We poured a new slab, along with slab WaterGuard to help channel any water or moisture to the new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features 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. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. CleanSpace walls are durable, easy to clean, and never discolor, giving this basement a bright, fresh look!
