Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

TC Hafford installed a WaterGuard drainage system over drainage matting and poured a new concrete floor in this existing structure. 

Northwood, NH homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help after recent rains turned into a total disaster. They had water coming in from their bulkhead and were frustrated after a night of mopping up a mess. Our System Design Specialist Rick R. met with the owners to create a plan to keep their basement dry.

The main area of concern was the bulkhead, so we installed CleanSpace Wall System inside the area to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the bulkhead and basement, along with TrenchDrain in the doorway to the bulkhead. WaterGuard funnels the water to a SmartSump which then pumps 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. Our homeowners no longer have to worry about spending their time mopping up a mess!

Homeowner in Wolfeboro, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems with concerns about the walls in their basement garage. They had dealt with leaking for 25 years, coming from all walls during every rain, and over time causing some wall decay and crumbling. Our System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the homeowner to review a plan for repair. Our foreman Joshua Benton and installer Korey Sanborn completed the work, including CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and a SuperSump system. CleanSpace is a durable, bright white vapor barrier made of inorganic materials that seals up the area and keeps moisture out.  A SuperSump was installed to collect groundwater and pumps out of the basement and away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. Now the homeowner is able to relax knowing that their basement garage is protected and their home is more energy efficient.

Homeowners from Nottingham, ME wanted help getting a concrete slab floor for their dirt floor basement, and with waterproofing the area. We poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system to channel water to their new SmartSump pump. 

A homeowner from Barrington, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems because they were having issues with water getting into their basement, as well as having only a partial slab on the floor of the basement. The homeowner expressed they were wanting to install a sump pump and dehumidifier. Our System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the owner to review their needs. We came up with a plan to regrade their current slab, as well as pour new concrete slab on the unfinished areas to create one continuous floor. To help keep moisture out we also installed CleanSpace with Drainage Matting and WaterGuard. 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. WaterGuard was installed around the space to capture groundwater and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe includes two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup pump to protect the homeowner during a power outage. The TripleSafe is connected to an Exterior Discharge line that takes the water far from the home and where it will no longer cause issues. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to maintain a safe humidity level in the basement. The SaniDry drains directly to the TripleSafe, so the homeowner never needs to empty a bucket. Now that the homeowner's basement is fully waterproofed with a fresh smooth slab, the homeowner can use the space for storage without the risk of moisture getting in.
