Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Every time it rained, water would come into this Waterville, ME, basement and leave a mess on the floor. After putting a tarp down to try and contain the mess, the homeowner knew they needed a permanent solution to their basement problems. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Ken Castillo met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that was right for them.

The homeowner opted to install a new Slab with WaterGuard. Before the new slab was poured, the area was cleaned out, and Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and protect the new slab. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement where needed to collect and channel water. The water needs to go somewhere, so the WaterGuard was connected to a new SuperSump Plus, which takes the water and pumps it out of the basement through a Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and is protected from ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard. After the area was done being prepped, the new slab was ready to be poured, and the homeowner now has a wonderful basement that is safe to use, and the tarp can now be kept in the garage.

Winslow, ME homeowners were inundated with water in their basement, especially in the springtime when the snow would melt. They called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on improvements to keep their basement dry. We upgraded their dirt floor basement to a new slab floor, complete with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. We also installed a new TripleSafe sump pump, the top of the line pump system. WaterGuard collects water and channels it directly to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The discharge line has IceGuard installed to prevent it from freezing up in the winter months. The homeowners no longer have to battle trying to clean up water in their basement!

Homeowners experienced major issues when their wet basement ruined an air exchanger and caused mildew throughout the house. They were planning to sell the home and needed help resolving the water intrusion so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. To address their issues, we first poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. Next we added SuperSump pump system to collect the water from WaterGuard and pump it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the basement walls to act as a vapor barrier, sealing out moisture and providing a fresh, clean look. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system was installed to both control the humidity, as well as filter the air. The owners can confidently move forward with selling the home knowing they have protected both their investment and the buyer's best interest.

Referred to as the “Ledge Room” by the homeowner, this BoothBay Harbor, ME, basement was dealing with water leaking in when it rains and grew concerned about mold and damage to their finished walls. The ledge in the basement was the main root of the issue, and with the homeowner wanting to retire into the home, they didn’t want to waste any time solving the problem. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems and worked with System Design Specialist Michael Madore to design a system that would waterproof their basement and protect the home from costly repairs.

Water needs to go somewhere that can take it out of the basement, so a SuperSump was installed that uses a Zoeller sump to collect water and push it away from the home through an Exterior Buried Discharge line. CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the ledge and walls to act as a vapor barrier and channel water to the new WaterGuard system that was installed. WaterGuard collects water and channels it to the SuperSump, keeping water off the basement floor. SprayFoam was installed to insulate the basement and seal the CleanSpace to the wall. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed in the basement to keep humidity at a safe level, preventing musty odors and mold growth. Now the homeowner is happy knowing their basement is dry, more energy efficient, and healthier. They can use their basement as they please without the risk of their belongings being damaged or ruined by mold.

Boothbay Harbor, ME homeowners had previously had work done by TC Hafford Basement Systems to install our Gutter Shutter seamless gutters. When they realized they had basement water intrusion issues, they called us back to give a free estimate. We prepped the floor with drainage matting and WaterGuard perimeter drainage system before pouring a new slab floor. CleanSpace Wall system was installed on the walls to act as a vapor barrier, sealing moisture out and giving a fresh clean look to the space. The WaterGuard channels water to their new TripleSafe sump pump system, which pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up pump in the event of power loss. The homeowners can now enjoy their dry and usable basement!
