Job Stories

Newburgh, ME homeowners began having water intrusion issues from snow melt and water runoff from the nearby road. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to install a sump pump system. We installed our TripleSafe sump pump, the top of the line sump pump system. It features two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up pump in the event of power loss. Water is removed from the pump through an exterior buried discharge line, which is protected with IceGuard to prevent freezing in the winter months. 

Hampden, ME homeowners had a foundation that was leaking during heavy rains. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump connected to a new WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. The WaterGuard and TripleSafe work seamlessly together to collect and remove water from the basement and away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system that both controls the humidity in the space, as well as filters the air from dust and mold spores.

A homeowner in Hampden was having trouble with water gathering in their basement. They needed a way to stop the water from leaking in through small pores in the cement. They searched for a way to solve this problem, soon finding TC Basement Systems, who they promptly called to arrange for a free estimate. The homeowner decided on what work they wanted done, and we sent in our crew to get to work! We began by digging a trench around the inside perimeter of the basement floor. Creating a clean trench to lay our WaterGuard system into. This system will capture water entering through the walls or floor. The water is then led to the sump, where we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This pump can handle any amount of water thrown at it, capable of moving 2,650 gallons of water per hour. These two systems combined will be more than enough to keep this homeowner’s basement dry. They now no longer have any need to fear water damage, thanks to WaterGuard.

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.

Our Hampden, ME homeowner was happy to have their newly waterproofed basement completed! Their old slab was cracking and water was seeping in. We poured a new slab, installed CleanSpace Wall System to provide a vapor barrier for any moisture trying to get in, along with WaterGuard around the perimeter to channel water to their new sump pump. The TripleSafe sump pump 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. The basement looks brand new and most importantly the homeowner now has dry and usable space!

Homeowners in Newburgh, Maine were experiencing water intrusion problems in their basement. They had called a plumber to address the water, however the plumber recommended TC Hafford Basement Systems since the water leakage was a basement problem, not a plumbing issue. To waterproof the space we first poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard connects to their new SuperSump pump, channeling water directly to the sump to be pumped away from the home. CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the walls as a vapor barrier to seal out moisture. CleanSpace is made of an inorganic material, so it also prevents mold growth. These products work together seamlessly to keep the basement a dry, usable space. 

Homeowners in Hampden, Maine wanted help with their field stone "mess of a basement". We were able to fully transform their space, as well as waterproof the basement to protect their home and mechanical systems. We installed StableLock Wall to repair their failing field stone wall. StableLock is a poured concrete wall that abuts the failing wall, preventing the bad wall from any further shifting or bowing, while giving the home the proper support it needs. We also poured a new slab floor, an upgrade from their old dirt and broken slab floor. WaterGuard perimeter drainage was installed, connected to their new TripleSafe Sump Pump. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity in the basement, preventing moisture problems. 

A homeowner living in Searsport, ME had been experiencing some difficulties keeping water from gathering across their basement floor. They were in need of a system to remove the water from the basement more efficiently than their current sump drain. They soon found us at TC Hafford Basement Systems after a short search online. Once they called us and received their free estimate, they decided to have us waterproof their basement the right way! Once our installation crew arrived at the home they began by installing a SmartSump sump pump in the old sump drain. This pump will take in any water entering the sump, forcing it up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Next, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier was installed within the space to clear out any moisture building up in the air. The SaniDry will take in the damp air around itself, passing any collected water on to the sump for removal while circulating the dried air back into the basement. Outside the home, two pipe pieces were attached to the discharge line before our crew was finished. The first was an IceGuard pipe section attached just beyond where the line exits the home. This pipe segment has special angled holes built-in which allow any trapped water to escape before backing up the discharge line. This will protect the home from any ice or debris blockages in the lower-line. Finally, a LawnScape piece was used to cap the end of the line. This will pleasantly blend the line in with the lawn, so that the water can drain away into the ground away from the home. With their newly upgraded sump system, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about manually keeping their basement dry. The SmartSump and SaniDry will take care of any water removal needed.

To help keep the sunroom insulated, the homeowner wanted spray foam insulation installed. Spray foam specialist Travis L. completed the installation to protect the crawl space. Our homeowner can enjoy a warmer sunroom and savings on their energy bill!
