Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

This Falmouth, Maine basement had frequent water seepage at the cove joint, the area where your foundation walls meet the basement floor. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to handle the incoming water and pump it away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller cast iron pumps, as well as a third battery backup pump that keeps the system operating if the home loses power. Water is pumped out through an exterior buried discharge line away from the home. We also installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system, that runs along the cove joint to handle incoming water and channel it to the TripleSafe, keeping the basement floors dry.

Falmouth, Maine homeowners had a leaky basement every time it rained, and they had even seen mold develop in some parts of the basement. They wanted to find out what it would take to keep the basement dry to protect the resale value of their home. We installed WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system with a TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard captures water seeping in from the walls and floor and channels it to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe sump has two cast iron Zoeller pumps, with a third battery backup pump that keeps the system running even if the home loses power.

Homeowners in North Yarmouth, ME wanted information on installing a sump pump in their basement. They purchased the home with a hole for a sump pump, however a builder doing renovations filled the hole with concrete so they ended up not having a sump pump for years. Our TripleSafe sump pump system features two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up to protect the basement even when the home loses power. 

Looking for a way to keep any and all moisture out of the space below their home, this Bailey Island, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see just what we could do for them. After receiving their free estimate, they gave our crew the go-ahead to begin work on the permanent solution they were looking for. First, in order to create a vapor barrier over the exposed earth, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor and a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the entire interior of the crawlspace. This vapor barrier will block any future moisture leaking into the space before it can reach the interior of the crawlspace. This blocked water will flow through channels built into the bottom of the Drainage Matting to where it can most easily drain back into the ground without causing more problems for the homeowner. In order to expediate the water-removal, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor of the space as well. This device contains three separate pumps each working to keep this crawlspace dry year-round. The while the primary and secondary pumps work using power from the home, the third pump operates on a backup battery to ensure even during storms harsh enough to knock out power, the water-removal process continues.

These waterproofing measures will ensure this homeowner won’t need to suffer from any side effects of moisture build-up in their crawlspace in the future. The vapor barrier & TripleSafe installations will ensure this space remains dry & healthy for years to come!

Auburn, Maine homeowners had an old sump pit that would overflow with water when it rained. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump to properly handle the groundwater and pump it away from the home, rather than allowing it to flood the basement. The TripleSafe system features two Zoeller pumps that can work together to handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour if needed.
