Your Trusted Searsport, ME Basement & Crawl Space Repair Contractors

A homeowner living in Searsport, ME had been experiencing some difficulties keeping water from gathering across their basement floor. They were in need of a system to remove the water from the basement more efficiently than their current sump drain. They soon found us at TC Hafford Basement Systems after a short search online. Once they called us and received their free estimate, they decided to have us waterproof their basement the right way!

Once our installation crew arrived at the home they began by installing a SmartSump sump pump in the old sump drain. This pump will take in any water entering the sump, forcing it up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Next, a SaniDry CX dehumidifier was installed within the space to clear out any moisture building up in the air. The SaniDry will take in the damp air around itself, passing any collected water on to the sump for removal while circulating the dried air back into the basement.

Outside the home, two pipe pieces were attached to the discharge line before our crew was finished. The first was an IceGuard pipe section attached just beyond where the line exits the home. This pipe segment has special angled holes built-in which allow any trapped water to escape before backing up the discharge line. This will protect the home from any ice or debris blockages in the lower-line. Finally, a LawnScape piece was used to cap the end of the line. This will pleasantly blend the line in with the lawn, so that the water can drain away into the ground away from the home.

With their newly upgraded sump system, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about manually keeping their basement dry. The SmartSump and SaniDry will take care of any water removal needed.
