Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

With water regularly leaking into their basement during heavy rains, this homeowner living in Lebanon, ME needed something more than the sump they had, to keep the water out. After the homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, we were able to find them the solution they needed to protect their basement. Our installation crew got started by excavating room for our WaterGuard piping system around the outer edge of the floor. Before covering over the previous sump and the WaterGuard with fresh concrete, a SuperSump pump was installed and connected to the WaterGuard. Now when water attempts to leak in through the foundation, the low-pressure created by the WaterGuard piping will pull in and capture the water; guiding it to the SuperSump for removal from the basement without reaching the surface of the floor in the future.

Now that this homeowner has a WaterGuard system acting as a barrier to outside moisture, they can expect to find their basement remains dry even after heavy rainfall. Alongside the SuperSump, the WaterGuard will ensure this basement floor remains water-free!

Stratham, NH homeowners experienced a rain event that flooded their basement with a foot of water as seen by the watermark in the before photo. They never wanted to have to deal with that frustration again, so they contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. We installed WaterGuard and a TripleSafe sump pump system. WaterGuard is a perimeter drainage system that channels any moisture directly to the TripleSafe, which then removes the water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller pumps as well as a battery back up to protect against power failure.

We helped homeowners in Dover, NH who were preparing to renovate their basement after experiencing water damage, and wanted to have interior drainage installed. We installed WaterGuard perimeter drainage coupled with a new TripleSafe sump pump. The leaking cinder block walls were addressed with CleanSpace Wall system, which is a vapor barrier that seals out moisture and directs it behind the liner down to the WaterGuard drainage. The TripleSafe sump has two cast iron Zoeller pumps which take the water collected from the WaterGuard and pumps it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.

This Dover, NH, homeowner had an issue: whenever it would rain, a stream would form in their basement that would lead to their old sump pump. Worried about mold and damage, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Rick Russell drove out and met with the homeowner to work with them on creating a waterproofing system that would be specific to their home.

WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed in the necessary areas of the home where water was coming in and was connected to a SuperSump Sump Pump system. WaterGuard is buried under the slab floor and channels water to a sump pump. WaterGuard features ports that allow for easy cleaning and service if necessary. The SuperSump takes the water and pushes it out of the basement through a Buried Discharge Line that gets the water away from the home where it can’t cause anymore issues. New England can get cold during the winter, so IceGuard was installed on the Discharge line to prevent ice buildup, keeping the waterproofing system working all year-round without troubles. Now the homeowner has a dry basement, and they no longer have to worry about mold damaging their basement, and their family and home will be healthier.
