Before & After Photos

After years of living with a flooding basement this homeowner in Hampden, ME contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems in order to solve their problem. When our crew arrived, they were able to get started on the damp concrete floor by installing a WaterGuard piping system around the perimeter. This system feeds directly into the TripleSafe sump pump also installed within the floor. Now when any water leaks in towards this basement interior, the WaterGuard system will capture it and force it out of the home through the TripleSafe pump. Finally, an IceGuard pipe segment and LawnScape discharge port were attached to the PVC discharge line used to carry the water from the home.

Now this homeowner can utilize their basement without needing to worry about the constant flooding that they are used to.

In Hampden, ME, this homeowner had a problem with their basement. Anytime the snow melted or heavy rain came down, their basement would get wet. Flooding twice last year, this homeowner was ready to take care of their basement troubles and called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. Eager to help, System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that was specific to their needs.

The homeowner wanted to use their basement year-round for storage, so keeping the whole basement dry was important to them. WaterGuard was laid around the perimeter of the basement, with TrenchDrain in high-traffic areas. WaterGuard collects and channels the water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump, and TrenchDrain ensures all water is collected at the entryways. The TripleSafe Sump Pump is capable of pushing all the water from the WaterGuard out of the basement and through the new Buried Discharge Line. To make sure the system works during the freezing winter months, IceGuard was attached to the Buried Discharge Line to prevent ice buildup. Now the homeowner can use their basement as they please since their basement is fully waterproof and will stay dry all the time.

Having lived in this home for most of their life, this Stonington, ME homeowner thought it was time to finally have their dirt basement properly waterproofed. After speaking with our sales representative about what their options were, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to protect their basement from the usual water leakages. To keep water from building up on the floor in the future, a slab Drainage Matting was laid on the dirt floor before a fresh slab of concrete was poured over the floor. Within this new slab, WaterGuard pipes were buried around the outer edge. These pipes will capture any moisture trying to enter the space through the floor in the future and guide the collected water to the TripleSafe sump pump for removal from the home. Finally, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the walls of the basement. This will both brighten up the space as well as guide any water coming in through the walls down into the WaterGuard for removal.

With a properly waterproofed basement below their home, this Stonington, ME homeowner can now make use of the space without any moisture negatively affecting their property.

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.

Living with an old sump in the basement below their home, this homeowner would occasionally experience a flooding basement when the water entering the space would overwhelm the limited sump. After they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, our crew was able to get to work providing a proper waterproofing system below their home to take care of their moisture problems. This began with WaterGuard piping being buried around the outer edge of the basement floor, connected to a SuperSump pump. The new WaterGuard piping will collect any leaking moisture in the future and guide it directly to the sump where it will be removed from the home without reaching the surface of the floor. The water will exit the home through a discharge line protected by both IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments.

With these systems working in tandem below this home, this homeowner will have no further moisture problems plague their basement. The WaterGuard piping will keep this basement water-free for years to come!
