Homeowner in Rye, NH contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their leaking basement with eroding walls. The owner worked with System Design Specialist Michael P. to come up with a plan to solve their problems. BrightWall was installed along the wall where cracks and crumbling had previously formed to act as a vapor barrier and channel any moisture to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter and connected to a new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe system, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup, drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. SprayFoam was installed at the rim joists to insulate the basement. Now the homeowner has a fresh and clean usable basement that will stay dry!
A Rye, NH homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for support with humidity in their basement, as well as water damage near their garage doors. System Design Specialist Mike P. met with the owner for a free estimate to solve their water issues.
In the basement we installed a SaniDry Sedona to take care of their high humidity. In the garage we installed TrenchDrain and a SuperSump with UltraSump battery back up. The TrenchDrain channels water directly to the SuperSump, which then pumps the water through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes it far from the home. The inclusion of the UltraSump Battery Back-Up is important to keep water out of the basement even during power outages, which tend to be very common in New England during storms.
Even with a sump pump in their basement floor, this homeowner would still find water pooled up in their basement from time to time. They hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to provide a permanent solution to the problem. As soon as our crew arrived at the home, they got to work installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the basement floor. These pipes are buried beneath the floors surface to capture moisture as it travels in toward the basement interior. This water becomes trapped in the WaterGuard where it is then guided to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe will force the water from the home through a discharge line protected by both an IceGuard segment and a LawnScape port. These will keep the basement safe from blockage in the lower end of the line that might cause water to backup into the basement again through the discharge.
With these solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can rest assured there will no longer be puddles of water on their basement floor after rainfall. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe combination will maintain a dry basement floor for many years to come!
After living with a wet basement for some time, this Dover, NH homeowner thought it was time they did something about it. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate as soon as possible. After they spoke with our sales representative, they hired us to get started right away! Once our installation crew made it out to the home, they got started by installing a WaterGuard piping system surrounding the basement floor, buried below the concrete. These pipes will capture moisture as it leaks through the pores in the foundation, guiding it to the SuperSump pump also installed in the basement floor. Once in the sump, the water will be pumped out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by both an IceGuard pipe segment and LawnScape discharge port outside the home. Finally, a CleanSpace liner was utilized to cover the walls of the basement with a waterproof barrier. This will both brighten up the space as well as channel any moisture down into the WaterGuard below for removal.
With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can now make use of their basement without fearing water damage to their property. The CleanSpace liner & WaterGuard piping will keep water from collecting on this basement floor for years into the future!
