Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners with this leaking basement recently. The foundation walls had some vertical cracks allowing water to seep in, and the basement did not have a sump pump. We installed CleanSpace Wall System to cover the wall cracks and direct water to the new WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. CleanSpace Wall System is a vapor barrier that seals moisture out of the basement, while allowing incoming water to remain behind the liner and direct to the drainage and sump pump. WaterGuard connects to their new TripleSafe sump pump so water is pumped away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system, which removes over 100 pints of water from the air per day!

This Harpswell, Maine basement was constantly leaking, causing damage to personal items and a headache for the homeowners to have to clean up. Most of the water was seeping in through cracks in the foundation walls. We installed CleanSpace Wall system, which is a vapor barrier liner that is attached to the wall to seal out moisture. CleanSpace is made of an inorganic material, so it is mold resistant as well. Moisture comes in and is directed behind the liner down to their new WaterGuard drainage system. WaterGuard connects to a new TripleSafe sump pump (not pictured here) that pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. Spray Foam insulation was also installed around the perimeter of the rim joists to seal the CleanSpace liner, and keep cold air out. Spray Foam insulation is water and mold resistant, so it is a great choice to use in basements.

Tired of living with a damp and dirty basement floor, this homeowner decided it was time they covered it up. After consulting with our team, the homeowner was greeted by our foreman Josh Bridge. Josh then laid a CleanSpace liner across the floor of the space, keeping out moisture and providing a much more appealing surface for the homeowner.

Living with a large crack in their concrete basement wall, this homeowner was no stranger to having water leak into their basement. To put an end to the problems caused by this crack, the homeowner hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. As soon as our installation crew arrived, they were able to begin work sealing the crack with a FlexiSpan seal. This three-layer seal with a foam core adheres to the length of the crack and is capable of slight bends to conform to any shifts in the overall shape of the crack while maintaining a water-tight bond. Now this homeowner can make use of the space surrounding the crack without needing to be concerned about potential water damage from leaking moisture!

Without any water protection in place, this homeowner living in Belgrade, ME would regularly experience water gathering in pools on their basement floor. This rendered their basement useless for storage. To protect their basement from water, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew was able to provide a solution for this leaking foundation. When our crew arrived, they were able to install WaterGuard piping within the perimeter of the concrete floor, buried just beneath the surface. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor as well with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments attached to the discharge line leaving the home. Now when moisture tries to enter the space below this home, the water will be trapped by the WaterGuard. Once inside, the water will travel through the buried pipes to the TripleSafe where it will be removed from the home without having reached the surface of the basement floor.

Now that this homeowner has a properly waterproofed basement, they can make use of the space without pooling water destroying their property.
