Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

Living with an old sump, this Freeport, ME homeowner thought it was time they replaced it with a more powerful pump. Shortly after they contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, our sales representative met with the homeowner to go over their options and give them a free estimate. The homeowner soon gave us the green light to begin work on upgrading their old sump! As soon as our installation crew made it out to the home, they began by removing the old pump and digging out the sump to make room for the larger SuperSump. With the SuperSump installed, any water leaking into the basement in the future will be forced out of the home through the PVC discharge line. Outside the home, an IceGuard pipe section along with a LawnScape discharge port were attached to this line. The IceGuard provides protection against ice or other blockages in the line by allowing any trapped water angled holes to escape through before it can reach the basement again to cause flooding. The LawnScape port on the end of the line provides a grate to hold back leaves or other debris that could block the line over time.

With these upgrades in place below their home, this homeowner can now rely on their sump to handle water removal without needing to manually assist. The new SuperSump pump will keep this basement water-free for the future!

Even with a sump in their basement floor, this Durham, ME homeowner would still find standing water gathering on the floor. Tired of needing to vacuum this water out themselves, the homeowner contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see if we could provide a solution to their problem. After receiving their free estimate, this homeowner gave us the go-ahead to begin work on their basement. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started on the basement floor by excavating the perimeter to create room for our WaterGuard piping to be laid. Buried below a fresh layer of concrete around the perimeter of the floor, these pipes will capture moisture entering the basement through the foundation. The trapped moisture will flow through the WaterGuard to the nearby SuperSump pump that was connected directly to the piping. This new pump will force the water up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line at a rate over 2,600 gallons per hour. Finally, IceGuard and LawnScape pipe segments were attached to the discharge line to provide further protection. The IceGuard section gives any water blocked by ice a path to escape the line before backing up into the home while the LawnScape end piece covers the line with a grate to keep out any debris that may cause blockages.

With the WaterGuard gathering leaking moisture and the SuperSump removing it from the home, this homeowner should no longer find their basement flooded after any rainfall!

After a few years of living with a basement that would take on water after heavy rainfall, this Lisbon, ME homeowner finally decided to do something to put and end to it! They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew got to work right away providing a proper barrier to keep water from flooding their basement. To collect and remove the leaking water, a WaterGuard piping system was installed within the perimeter of the basement floor. This system was connected directly to the sump, where a new SuperSump pump was installed. Finally, a Drainage Matting was installed over the surface of the basement floor. This is all then covered by a fresh slab of concrete to give the homeowner a completely waterproofed basement floor, ready to be utilized for whatever the homeowner requires.

With water regularly flooding their basement, this Harpswell, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to have something done to put an end to it. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work right away by excavating a trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor of the basement. This enabled the installation of WaterGuard piping encircling the slab with pipes specialized in capturing water. After being buried by a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will trap any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future and guide it directly to the new SuperSump pump installed in the corner of the basement. The SuperSump will force any collected water up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. Finally, the basement received an encapsulation of CleanSpace. This liner covers the walls in a thin water-tight barrier, which will intercept any moisture leaking through the walls and direct it down into the WaterGuard below.

With these waterproofing measures in place, this homeowner should no longer enter their basement to find standing water or damp conditions in the future. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will work in tandem to maintain a dry basement for years to come!
