Basement Waterproofing Photo Album: Slab with WaterGuard Helping Basement Underwater

This homeowner in Bath, ME, has been dealing with water in their basement throughout the year, causing mold and floor buckling. Wanting to fix their basement troubles for good, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Tom Rich worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system that would keep water out and prevent mold and damage. Before the new slab could be poured, the area needed to be waterproofed. Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier that would protect the slab and help channel groundwater to the WaterGuard Perimeter Drain with it’s dimpled design. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump system. The TripleSafe includes two Zoeller pumps with an additional Battery Powered Backup pump that keeps the basement dry during a power outage. The TripleSafe drains through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that’s protected against freezing with the installation of IceGuard. Now that the area was fully prepped, the new slab was poured and smoothed. The homeowner is able to enjoy and use their basement without the risk of water damaging anything, and water is kept out, protecting the homeowner against mold.
