Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

In the past four years, this Scarborough, ME, homeowner has had to worry about basement flooding and appliances getting wet. During heavy rains, the sump pump would often fail, leading to up to two inches of water, making it unsafe for the homeowner to use the basement for storage. After calling TC Hafford Basement Systems, System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the homeowner. Following a thorough review of the basement, he worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system to protect the home and prevent water damage.

A total of 81 feet of WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement, with four WaterGuard Ports for easy cleaning. A TripleSafe Sump Pump System to pump the water outside of the home through a buried discharge line. IceGuard was also installed on the discharge line to prevent ice buildup, ensuring the system remains optimized, even during harsh winters.

This Scarborough, ME building has had water issues for years. With as much as two inches of standing water, this basement stayed on the wet side. After deciding that it was time to address the issue and protect the health of the building, the property owners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the owner at the property and worked with them to design a system specifically for this basement. The best course of action would be a brand-new slab with a waterproofing system.

First, to create an inorganic barrier between the new slab and the earth, Drainage Matting is laid down, preventing outside elements from touching the slab. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to channel any water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that will take water out of the basement and push it through an exterior Buried Discharge Line. CleanSpace Wall System is installed and connected to the WaterGuard, ensuring no water can seep through any cracks and end up on the new slab. To prevent humidity from being an issue, a SaniDry Sedona is installed in the basement to keep humidity at a safe level.

The new slab is ready to be poured, and the basement will now be a usable space without concern of damaging any stored items, and the building is protected from water damage and mold.

We received a call from a homeowner in New Gloucester, ME and System Design Specialist Tom Rich went out to meet with the homeowner for a free estimate. In order to fully protect the basement, Tom put together a solution using WaterGuard perimeter drain and a TripleSafe Sump Pump. Now the homeowner can rest easy knowing that water will no longer be an issue!

The homeowners of this property in South Portland wanted to protect their home against water and keep their home from sagging. TC Hafford Basement Systems was able to accomplish this by protecting the home using a variety of tools that we have available to us including, WaterGuard with a new Slab and drain matting, a TripleSafe Sump Pump, SmartJacks and Spray Foam.

During heavy rainfall, this homeowner always found their basement would take on water through the concrete foundation. To put an end to this, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after we gave them a free estimate, they hired us to get the job done. Upon arriving at the home, our crew got started on installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the floor, buried just below the surface. The WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking through the floor in the future and guide the captured water to the TripleSafe sump system installed in the floor. Lastly, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place around the entire basement. This barrier will collect any water leaking through the walls and feed it directly into the WaterGuard below.

With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner will never again find their basement full of water after a heavy rain!
