Water Coming in Through Old Sump Hole

This homeowner has lived at this Scarborough, ME, property for over six years but recently developed a problem that could not go unfixed. When it rains or during snowmelting, their open sump hole would allow water to come in and cover part of their basement floor. Not willing to risk their belongings being damaged or risk mold growth due to the water in their basement, they scheduled a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement System, and System Design Specialist Nicholas Ciciarelli met with them. Together, Nick and the homeowner worked together to design a waterproofing system that would meet the needs of the basement and protect the health of the home. The old sump needed to be removed so the hole could be dug out to make room for the new TripleSafe Sump Pump with Battery Backup. Once the TripleSafe is installed, it then gets connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water far away from the home. To ensure the system runs year-round without the risk of ice buildup, IceGuard is installed on the Discharge line to protect the system, keeping the system running at 100%.

Replacing Old Sump Pump in Portland, Maine

This Portland, Maine basement had an old sump pump that was running constantly and could not keep up. We upgraded it to our TripleSafe sump pump system, which has two Zoeller pumps and a third battery backup pump. The TripleSafe can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour in high capacity events. We also installed WaterGuard, our perimeter drainage system, to collect any water seeping in from the walls and then channel it to the TripleSafe.

Failed Sump Pump Replacement in Portland, Maine

Portland, Maine homeowners contacted us for help replacing their old, failed sump pump system. We first installed WaterGuard perimeter drainage, as well as a TripleSafe sump pump. WaterGuard collects water that seeps in from the walls or floors and brings it to the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe system features two Zoeller pumps that can handle a combined capacity of 6,000 gallons of water per hour, pumping water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The homeowners were also interested in options for dehumidification since the basement was often damp and musty. We installed a SaniDry Sedona, the world's most efficient dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona can remove over 100 pints of water from the air per day, and its MERV 8 filter removes allergens and odors.
