Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Bangor, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet basement. They found their water issues were continuing to get worse and worse over time and wanted to put an end to dealing with frustrating water clean up. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, a drainage system that channels water directly to the brand new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe system features two Zoeller pumps and a battery back up to protect against power loss. Water is removed away from the home through the TripleSafe and out an exterior buried discharge line. The discharge line is equipped with IceGuard to prevent freezing and back up in the winter months.

This Castine, ME home was recently purchased, and the new homeowners wanted to address the laundry list of issues that reside in the basement. Water damage can be found throughout the basement, and with a goal of remodeling the home, the new homeowner knew it was important to nip these issues in the bud.

System Design Specialist Mark Smith drove out to meet the homeowner with the goal of designing a system that would fix the issues created by water intrusion and protect the health of the home. With water coming into the basement through the walls and floor, the best course of action was to install WaterGuard Perimeter Drain.

First, Drainage Matting is laid down because a new slab is going to be poured. Drainage Matting creates an inorganic barrier to protect the slab. WaterGuard Perimeter Drain is placed down and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump system. SmartJacks were installed to replace 5 rusted out lally columns to ensure the structural integrity of the home and keep the homeowners safe. The new slab is poured, and a SaniDry Sedona is installed in the basement to maintain optimal humidity levels in the basement. CleanSpace Wall System is installed, and now the homeowner can remodel their home knowing their basement is protected and their home is healthy.

A Harborside, ME homeowner was experiencing heavy water coming in through their basement walls and floor. The original floor was cracked and leaking, so we poured a brand new slab floor complete with WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard channels any moisture to the new TripleSafe sump pump, which then carries the water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.  The basement is now protected from water damage so the homeowner can use their space with confidence.

With a relatively old sump pump in their basement, this Old Town, ME homeowner had begun to notice their basement would retain some water after rainfall. Looking to remedy this problem, the homeowner hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. As soon as our crew was able to get out to the home, they began work on the basement foundation by installing a WaterGuard piping system around the majority of the perimeter of the space. These pipes lay beneath the surface of the floor where they trap incoming water and guide it to the TripleSafe pump installed in the existing sump. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by both an IceGuard and LawnScape segments. With both the WaterGuard system as well as a TripleSafe pump, this basement will now be protected against moisture build up without the water ever reaching the surface of the floor and remain protected even during power outages.

Now that their basement is properly waterproofed, this homeowner can utilize the space without fearing water damaging their property. The WaterGuard piping will keep this basement floor dry for years into the future.

Homeowners from Verona Island, Maine contacted us for a free estimate to install a sump pump and perimeter drainage system. Their basement was often flooding, and they were tired of dealing with the wet mess. We installed WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, which captures any water seeping in from the walls or floor. WaterGuard connects to the new TripleSafe sump pump, bringing the water to the sump to be pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe sump system has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a third battery backup pump. Even if your home loses power during a storm, the TripleSafe will keep operating, protecting your basement.
