TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Andrew and his crew did a great job encapsulating this Crawl Space in Portland, ME. Now the homeowner has plenty of storage area that will be protected against  outside elements.  

After living in their Portland, ME home for three years, this homeowner decided it was time they upgraded from the small sump they got from a hardware store when they moved in. Our crew got to work on their basement by rounding out the existing sump hole and installing a SuperSump system in the floor. This new pump will output at a rate of over 2,600 gallons of water per hour. This water exits the basement through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. Now the homeowner can be sure their sump will keep their basement floor dry during exceptionally heavy rainfall.

During heavy rainfall, this homeowner always found their basement would take on water through the concrete foundation. To put an end to this, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after we gave them a free estimate, they hired us to get the job done. Upon arriving at the home, our crew got started on installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the floor, buried just below the surface. The WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking through the floor in the future and guide the captured water to the TripleSafe sump system installed in the floor. Lastly, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place around the entire basement. This barrier will collect any water leaking through the walls and feed it directly into the WaterGuard below.

With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner will never again find their basement full of water after a heavy rain!

When this Cumberland, ME homeowner began to have moisture problems in their garage, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could help. A door connected to their garage had been allowing rainwater to leak in and gather in the entryway. After they met with our representative, our installation crew was able to get started jackhammering out the old concrete floor of the entry space. Once clear, a fresh slab was poured within the space and WaterGuard piping was installed within the perimeter of the new floor. Running below the doorway, a TrenchDrain was used to capture any water leaking directly under the door in the future. The grate on the top of the TrenchDrain rests level with the floor, allowing any water to spill right in. Finally, a SuperSump system was installed to receive any captured water and remove it from the home through a discharge line.

This homeowner can now be sure any water that would have previously entered this space will be removed from the home without pooling up on their floor. The WaterGuard piping & SuperSump pump will keep this entryway water-free for the foreseeable future!

With water constantly flooding into their basement during rainfall, this homeowner was looking to have their basement waterproofed as soon as possible. After receiving a free estimate from our sales representative, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done! The perimeter of the basement floor was excavated to make room for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the basement. This new piping system will act as a low-pressure pocket to attract any leaking moisture before it reaches the surface of the floor from below the home. This trapped water is guided through the WaterGuard to the SuperSump pump freshly installed in the floor. Once in the sump, any water is forced from the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home.

With these systems implemented successfully and working together, this Mechanic Falls, ME home is now fully waterproofed. Now any leaking moisture will be pumped from the home before any accumulation occurs on the basement floor.
