A homeowner from Carrabassett Valley, ME recently purchased their house and reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to waterproof their crawlspace and install a sump pump. Our System Design Specialist Nick C. met with the homeowner and created a plan to fully protect their crawlspace.
CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. A SmartSump was installed to capture water and pump it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The waterproofing was completed by foreman Greg D., Spray Foam Specialist Travis L., and installers Jason L. and Josh S.
Westbrook, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for information on installing a sump pump. We added a TripleSafe sump pump system to their basement, which includes two Zoeller pumps and a battery powered back up protecting against power loss. The water from the pump is removed through an exterior buried discharge line, which is protected against freezing up in the winter with IceGuard.
Water entering your basement will not only make the space unusable but can also affect the health of your home and family. When something as important as the health of your family is at stake, it's crucial to find a company you can trust to ensure the work is done right. This Westbrook, ME, homeowner had lived in their home for three years and wanted to protect their investment and home. The homeowner made the call for help, and TC Hafford Basement Systems answered.
System Design Specialist Ron Bedard drove to the home to meet with the owners and put together a solution that would meet their needs and protect the home. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch water and channel it to a TripleSafe Sump Pump system. Once the water reaches the sump pump, it needs a place to go. The water is pushed through a buried discharge line and is released where it is no longer capable of harming the home.
Now that the system is installed, we recommend yearly service to ensure the integrity of the system and the long-term health of the home and system.
We recently helped Westbrook, Maine homeowners to replace and upgrade their sump pump system. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump, which has two Zoeller pumps and a third battery backup pump that will operate even if the home loses power. The TripleSafe can handle over 6,000 gallons per hour in high capacity events. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which keeps the humidity controlled to a healthy level and also filters the air of allergens like mold spores.
Homeowners in Westbrook, Maine had a basement that was wet all the time. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to remove water from the basement. The TripleSafe features three pumps, one of which operates from a battery when the power goes out. Water is pumped away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona, the world's most efficient dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona can remove over 100 pints of water per day from the air. In addition to controlling the humidity, it also has a filtration system to remove allergens from the air.
