WaterGuard and Spray Foam Keep Out The Elements in Dover, NH

WaterGuard Piping Protects Dover, NH Basement from Pooling Water

Even with a sump pump in their basement floor, this homeowner would still find water pooled up in their basement from time to time. They hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to provide a permanent solution to the problem. As soon as our crew arrived at the home, they got to work installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the basement floor. These pipes are buried beneath the floors surface to capture moisture as it travels in toward the basement interior. This water becomes trapped in the WaterGuard where it is then guided to the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe will force the water from the home through a discharge line protected by both an IceGuard segment and a LawnScape port. These will keep the basement safe from blockage in the lower end of the line that might cause water to backup into the basement again through the discharge.

With these solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can rest assured there will no longer be puddles of water on their basement floor after rainfall. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe combination will maintain a dry basement floor for many years to come!

Wet Basement in Dover, NH Receives Needed WaterGuard Waterproofing

After living with a wet basement for some time, this Dover, NH homeowner thought it was time they did something about it. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate as soon as possible. After they spoke with our sales representative, they hired us to get started right away! Once our installation crew made it out to the home, they got started by installing a WaterGuard piping system surrounding the basement floor, buried below the concrete. These pipes will capture moisture as it leaks through the pores in the foundation, guiding it to the SuperSump pump also installed in the basement floor. Once in the sump, the water will be pumped out of the home through a PVC discharge line protected by both an IceGuard pipe segment and LawnScape discharge port outside the home. Finally, a CleanSpace liner was utilized to cover the walls of the basement with a waterproof barrier. This will both brighten up the space as well as channel any moisture down into the WaterGuard below for removal.

With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can now make use of their basement without fearing water damage to their property. The CleanSpace liner & WaterGuard piping will keep water from collecting on this basement floor for years into the future!

Wet Lebanon, ME Basement Given Proper Waterproofing with WaterGuard Installation

With water regularly leaking into their basement during heavy rains, this homeowner living in Lebanon, ME needed something more than the sump they had, to keep the water out. After the homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, we were able to find them the solution they needed to protect their basement. Our installation crew got started by excavating room for our WaterGuard piping system around the outer edge of the floor. Before covering over the previous sump and the WaterGuard with fresh concrete, a SuperSump pump was installed and connected to the WaterGuard. Now when water attempts to leak in through the foundation, the low-pressure created by the WaterGuard piping will pull in and capture the water; guiding it to the SuperSump for removal from the basement without reaching the surface of the floor in the future.

Now that this homeowner has a WaterGuard system acting as a barrier to outside moisture, they can expect to find their basement remains dry even after heavy rainfall. Alongside the SuperSump, the WaterGuard will ensure this basement floor remains water-free!

Taking Care of an Unused Space

When a homeowner decides to waterproof their basement, it tends to be when they are ready to remodel and use the space without having to be concerned with their belongings being damaged. However, this is not always the case. This Lebanon, ME homeowner had issues with hydro static pressure and wanted to take care of it to protect the health of their home, not to remodel. Out of sight does not always mean out of mind and water penetrating an unused basement still can cause issues even when it is empty. Wanting to protect their home, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help.

 

System Design Specialist Ron Bedard has years of basement waterproofing experience and met with the homeowner for a free estimate to go over their needs and work with them to design a system, specifically, for their home. The star of the system is the TripleSafe Sump Pump that will protect the homeowner from groundwater, relieving the hydro static pressure that causes leaks. WaterGuard was installed in areas that were necessary to aid in capturing and channeling water to the TripleSafe. The water has to go somewhere so the TripleSafe is connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge line takes all the water from the TripleSafe and takes it far from the house where it can’t cause a problem. To keep the system running all year even during the freezing Maine winter months, IceGuard is installed on the Discharge line to prevent ice buildup. While this basement may remain an unused space, the homeowner has protected the health of their home and ensured water intrusion won’t cause any troubles.
