Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Since moving in, this Cumberland Foreside, ME, homeowner has had issues with puddles in their basement. Wanting to keep the puddles outside, they called TC Hafford Basement Systems to book a free estimate. System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the homeowner to discuss their goals and design a waterproofing system that would protect the health of the home.

To keep puddles from forming, WaterGuard was installed around the problem areas to catch water and channel it to a SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump Plus will take the water from WaterGuard and any groundwater and push it through an exterior Buried Discharge Line. IceGuard is installed on the Discharge Line, ensuring the system will work year-round without the concern of ice building up and blocking the system.

The homeowner is now able to live worry-free, knowing TC Hafford Basement Systems has solved their water problems and offers annual maintenance to keep the basement dry for the life of the home.

We replaced this customers faulty sump system with our TripleSafe Sump Pump to provide 3 levels of protection against water intrusion. 

This Yarmouth, ME, homeowner had an issue with water getting into their basement and causing issues with mold and mildew that led to a funky smell in the basement. Ready to tackle the issue and make the space comfortable to use again, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Ken Castillo met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system that was specific to their home and would address all of their issues at once.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to capture groundwater and channel it to the brand new SuperSump Plus. The WaterGuard is installed under the slab and features Ports for easy maintenance. The SuperSump Plus is capable of taking the water that is channeled to it and pumping it out of the basement through a Buried Discharge Line that is protected from ice buildup with IceGuard. In high-traffic areas such as doorways and appliances, TrenchDrain was installed and connected to the WaterGuard to ensure all water is being channeled to the sump. BrightWall Panels were installed on the walls, which act as a vapor barrier and integrate into the WaterGuard to capture any water seepage from the walls. BrightWall covers the old wall, leaving a bright white finish that helps to reflect light and illuminate the basement more. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at a safe level and prevent mold and mildew from causing issues for the homeowner. Typically, homeowners have to empty a bucket of water to keep their dehumidifier working, but with the SaniDry Sedona, it drains directly to the SuperSump Plus, meaning the homeowner can travel without worrying about moisture in their basement. Now the basement is revitalized, and the homeowner is protected from moisture and water problems and can use their basement how it’s intended to be used.

A Yarmouth, ME condo owner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their basement water issues. System Design Specialist Michael M. provided a free estimate for the necessary repairs to prevent future water damage. 

Our crew worked closely with the Association to complete the repairs. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, channeling any water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control moisture in the space. TrenchDrain was placed around the oil tank and other tanks to help collect any condensation and take it to the sump pump. We also installed BrighWall, a vapor barrier for the basement walls that inhibits the growth of mold and rot, is easy to clean, and never discolors. 

This Leeds, ME homeowner was on their wits' end after having their walls and floors ruined because of their basement flooding. They wanted to be able to finish the space and actually use it instead of their basement being an object for nightmares. Exhausted and ready to solve their water intrusion problems, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nick Ciciarelli met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system specifically designed for their home.

Wanting their basement dry all the time, they opted for a full Slab with WaterGuard system to ensure they can finally remodel their basement without the risk of their work being ruined by water. A lot of work goes into prepping the basement for the new system, starting with Drainage Matting being laid down. Drainage Matting creates an inorganic barrier between the new slab and the outside elements while aiding in channeling water to prevent hydrostatic pressure from building up. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter to capture water and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is capable of taking all the water and pumping it out of the basement through the new Exterior Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge Line takes the water far from the home where it won’t cause any issues, and with the installed IceGuard, the system is protected against ice build-up, keeping the system running all year, even during freezing winter months. To finish the waterproofing system, the slab will be poured and a SaniDry XP will be installed to keep humidity levels at a safe level. The SaniDry XP drains to the TripleSafe so the homeowner will never have to worry about emptying a bucket of water, and the SaniDry XP can do its job all the time.

Now the homeowner can remodel their basement and be confident that their basement will be dry all the time.
