Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Finished Basement Being Destroyed by Water

This Corinth, ME, homeowner has been dealing with water coming into their basement during heavy rains, leading to damage to the walls and carpet. Tired of having to shop vac water off the floor and wanting to protect their home from more costly damage, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and booked a free estimate. System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner, and together they worked on designing a waterproofing system to protect the basement.   To take care of the issue, parts of the wall were removed for the installation of WaterGuard. WaterGuard is installed in the problem areas along the perimeter of the space and under the slab to collect water and channel it to the new SuperSump Sump Pump. The SuperSump is capable of sucking up groundwater and the water channeled from the WaterGuard and pumping it out of the basement through the new Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge takes the water far from the home where it won’t cause any issues, and with IceGuard built in, the system is protected against ice buildup, keeping the system running year round. With the waterproofing system installed, the homeowner is able to refinish their basement without their money and hard work going to waste, and the space will be protected against water in the future.
