Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

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.

Greenland, NH homeowners were looking for help replacing their old, rusted bulkhead doors. We installed a set of new doors that looked more appealing from the exterior, and also closed flush to prevent leaking. 

Typically using their basement for basic storage, this Durham, NH homeowner needed a way to protect their basement from leaking moisture. After living with a damp basement floor for some time, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to take care of this problem as quickly as possible. Our crew got to work burying WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. These pipes, below a fresh layer of concrete, will act to pull in any leaking moisture traveling through the foundation. This water is then guided through the piping to the nearby SuperSump pump our crew installed. Here the water will be forced out of the home through a discharge line. The discharge line leaving the home is fitted with an IceGuard section that will protect the basement from any blocked water that may flow back up the line.

With their newly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can now safely use the space for storage without fearing moisture causing damage to their property.

This Portsmouth, NH basement had water intrusion problems, as seen by the damp floors and efflorescence on the foundation walls. Efflorescence is the white powdery substance on the walls that happens when water comes in and evaporates, leaving behind a residue of minerals and salts. To waterproof the space, we poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. BrightWall panels were installed on the walls to give a fresh, clean appearance and seal out moisture. Their new TripleSafe sump pump will pump water away from the home, keeping the basement dry. 

Homeowners in Portsmouth, NH had renovated ~3/4 of their basement but their old sump pump kept failing, causing water to ruin the renovations they had invested in. They wanted the basement properly waterproofed and protected so they could continue to enjoy the finished space. We installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard is a perimter drainage system that captures water coming in through walls or the floor and then directs that water to the TripleSafe. The TripleSafe sump pump then pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The TripleSafe can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour, and it has a battery backup system, ensuring it will operate in all conditions.
