Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Shortly after moving into their dream home, this Augusta, ME, homeowner was faced with a problem: their basement would get wet when it rained. Wanting to use their basement for storage without the risk of having their belongings damaged, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to waterproof their basement. System Design Specialist Ken Castillo met with the homeowner, and together they worked on designing a system that would keep their basement dry and their home healthy.

WaterGuard Perimeter drain was installed along the basement walls where necessary to capture groundwater. WaterGuard then channels the water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. In high-traffic areas, TrenchDrain was installed to capture the most amount of water possible. TrenchDrain features a grated cover that can be removed to clear the system and still capture surface water in front of stairs, doorways, and more. The TripleSafe Sump Pump has the power to pump 2,220 gallons of water an hour out of the main pump alone. Water is pumped out through a Buried Discharge Line that takes the water away from the home, where it can’t cause any more issues. IceGuard was installed at the base of the discharge line to prevent ice buildup, keeping the system running at 100% all year round. Now the home is safe from water, and the basement can be used for storage without worry.

Augusta, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to help address their basement water issues. Water was seeping in where the walls meet the floor, causing frustration for the homeowner. System Design Specialist Jordan T. met with the owner to evaluate the basement's needs.

A SuperSump Plus system was installed to remove any water from the basement through a buried exterior discharge line. WaterGuard and TrenchDrain were installed along the perimeter of the basement to catch the water coming in at the base of the walls and channel it to the SuperSump Plus. BrightWall panels were installed on every wall to cover the cold concrete walls and add a layer of moisture protection. BrightWall freshens up the space, is durable, easy to clean, and never discolors.

A homeowner from South Gardiner, ME contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on installing a sump pump to help with their wet basement issue. System Design Specialist Thomas R. met with the owner and made a plan to install a TripleSafe sump pump system. the TripleSafe sump pump, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup, drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. The homeowner can relax knowing their basement will stay dry from now on!

In South Gardiner, ME, a homeowner reached out due to a chronically wet basement, leading them to seek a trusted professional for an effective solution. The before photo illustrates the moisture issues that threatened their property's foundation and belongings. We addressed this by installing our reliable TripleSafe Sump Pump, meticulously designed to prevent flooding failures. Notice in the after photo, the seamless transformation and peace of mind provided by our system. With three levels of protection, including a backup pump and battery backup, we're confident this homeowner won’t face the disruption of a flooding basement again.

After many years of having a dry basement with no problems, this homeowner suddenly found themselves with two to four inches of water on their basement floor after some heavy rainfall. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got to work right away to keep this basement safe from flooding in the future. As soon as our crew arrived at the home, their first objective was to excavate a trench into the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. This allowed for our WaterGuard piping system and a new SuperSump sump pump to be installed in the floor of the basement. Once covered by a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard piping will capture any leaking moisture in the future and guide it to the SuperSump before it has the chance to accumulate on the surface of the floor. The water will then exit the basement through the discharge line coming from the sump. This line, protected by an IceGuard pipe segment, will carry the water a distance from the home before depositing it onto the ground.

With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can expect their basement to once again remain dry for many years into the future. The WaterGuard piping will now protect this basement from any heavy rainstorms that might have caused problems for the homeowner.
