Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Monmouth, ME needed help with their damp basement. The area had dirt floors and moisture issues, causing frustration for the owners. We poured a new slab floor to update the dirt floors, as well as installed WaterGuard and a SuperSump pump system. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system built into the new slab that channels any water directly to the SuperSump pump to be removed from the basement. The owners now have a dry, usable space they no longer have to worry about.

This Winthrop, ME, homeowner wanted to remodel their basement but couldn’t because of water finding its way into their basement and causing issues. The homeowner wanted to fix their problems before springtime, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the help they needed.

WaterGuard was installed along the perimeter of the basement where water was seeping in to capture it and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup pump. The battery backup pump protects the homeowner during a rain event when their power goes out. TrenchDrain was installed in high-traffic areas and around appliances, then connected to the WaterGuard. The TripleSafe was connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water away from the home and protects the waterproofing system against ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard. Finally, to keep the humidity in the basement at a safe level and prevent mold and musty odors, a SaniDry Sedona was installed. The homeowner is happy that their basement is protected and they can use their basement however they want without worrying about damage.

After locating some seepage coming in through their basement wall, causing water damage and mold, this homeowner began looking for solutions to this problem right away. Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems provided a free estimate on repairs and began work on solving this problem for the homeowner as soon as our crew was available. The culprit for this moisture damage was a crack in the foundation hidden behind the drywall. To cover this crack for good, a FlexiSpan seal was applied. This three-layer seal will completely lock out moisture, preventing any future leaks through this crack. Next, to handle any moisture that may gather on this floor through other sources, a SmartSump pump was installed in the basement floor. These waterproofing measures will enable this homeowner to make use of their finished basement without fear of future water damage causing mold growth or property damage. The FlexiSpan Seal & SmartSump pump will keep this basement water-free for years into the future!

We recently helped Brunswick, Maine homeowners repair their damp and dirt floor basement. We encapsulated the space with CleanSpace vapor barrier, a liner that seal out moisture and prevents mold growth. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls to help seal the CleanSpace liner, as well as improve the energy efficiency of the home. The owners now enjoy a dry, usable space without the worry of moisture problems.
