Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Auburn, ME homeowners contacted TC Basement Systems for help with their wet and leaky basement. They bought the home in November and by springtime realized the snow melt and rainwater was seeping into the basement where the wall meets the floor. They were constantly having to use towels to try to cleanup and dry the area. We installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that channels any moisture to their new TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe has a battery back up in case of power loss, as well as a back up pump in the event of pump failure. No more ruining towels for these happy homeowners!

New homeowners in Auburn, ME quickly discovered their basement leaked with every rain. They were planning to use the home as a rental property, but first had to address the intrusion issue that left them with 6" of water at times. To address their water issues, we first poured a new slab floor with drainage matting and WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed for the WaterGuard to tie into so water would get captured and pumped away from the home. CleanSpace Wall System was added around the basement walls as a vapor barrier to seal moisture out and give the basement a fresh, clean look. Their basement will now stay dry and offer usable storage space to any future renters, adding value to the home!

Auburn, Maine homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their dirt floor basement. The homeowners wanted to add a concrete floor, as well as address the water coming into the basement. We poured a new slab floor, immediately improving the basement. WaterGuard drainage system was installed around the perimeter of the basement, which channels water directly to their new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. CleanSpace Wall system was installed on the walls to give a fresh new look to the basement, while also sealing out moisture. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona has a MERV8 filter to remove dust and mold spores, and also controls humidity in the basement to keep it at a healthy level.

The CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the customer's basement walls to prevent moisture from entering the basement. This system is designed to create a barrier that blocks water vapor and helps to keep the basement dry and free from mold and mildew. It also helps to improve the overall air quality in the basement by reducing the amount of moisture in the air.

A crack in their basement wall has led to water on their floor, and this North Yarmouth, ME, homeowner wanted to address the issue before it caused any damage to their home or belongings. They reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate, and System Design Specialist Ron Bedard met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system specific to their home’s basement.

The CleanSpace Wall System was installed over the problem area on the wall to catch and channel water to the newly installed WaterGuard Perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard channels water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that is powerful enough to handle the water and push it through a Buried Exterior Discharge Line. To prevent ice from building up and to keep the system running all year round, IceGuard was installed on the discharge line. Finally, TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas, catching every bit of water possible, and the old sump pump hole was filled in as it is no longer useful.

Now the home is protected, and the homeowner doesn’t have to worry about cracks creating puddles in their basement.
