Before & After Photos

This Kittery, ME homeowner has water coming into their space, causing havoc when it rains. With no plans to move or sell the home, it was important to them to take care of the issue, so their home doesn’t turn into a swamp. The homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Michael Penna. During the free estimate, they worked together to design a system that would meet the needs of the home and surpass the expectations of the homeowner.

Wanting the space to be dry all the time, WaterGuard was laid around the perimeter and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. WaterGuard ports were installed for easy clean-out, and TrenchDrain was laid in high-traffic areas, such as the door, to catch and channel as much water as possible to the TripleSafe. Water is then pumped out of the basement through a buried discharge line and away from the home, where it won’t be a problem. Now the homeowner can relax, knowing that their space is protected and their home is healthy.

This home owner in South Berwick, ME was having trouble with water coming into their basement and decided to call TC Hafford Basement Systems. Utilizing WaterGuard, TrenchDrain and a TripleSafe system, we were able to protect this homeowners basement and give them peace of mind.

With moisture easily able to enter this property owner’s basement, they were unable to make much use of the space. Looking to remedy this problem, they contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we were soon able to give the homeowner a free estimate. Liking what we could offer, they gave our crew the go-ahead to begin work on excavating the old, leaking slab with a fresh slab of concrete. This new slab, however, was fitted with WaterGuard piping around the outer edge, buried just below the surface. These pipes will capture any leaking moisture in the future and guide it directly to the nearby TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, a CleanSpace wall system was put in around the exterior of the basement, to seal any moisture that might enter through the walls and brighten up the interior of the space.

With these additions to their home, this property owner should now be able to utilize their basement however they please without the need to fear water damage. The WaterGuard system will ensure this basement floor remains dry for years to come!

Having lived with a wet basement for years, this homeowner needed a permanent solution to keep their basement dry now that they could no longer keep the water at bay themselves. To properly waterproof the space, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set the up with a free estimate soon after. Once they gave us the go-ahead, our installation crew was able to get started on putting a WaterGuard system in place. The WaterGuard piping is buried in a shallow trench around the perimeter of the basement floor, covered by a fresh layer of concrete to conceal it within the floor. Once in place, the WaterGuard will absorb any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future, keeping the surface of the floor water-free. This trapped water is guided below the floor to the SuperSump pump also installed by our crew. This pump can remove water from the home at a rate of 2,650 gallons of water per hour through the discharge line. Outside the home, a IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments were intersected into the line to provide extra protection for the basement. The IceGuard will prevent any blockages in the line from causing water to back up into the home while the LawnScape covers the end of the line with a grate to keep out debris.

Now that a more permanent solution has been put in place, this homeowner no longer needs to worry about manually removing any water accumulating in their basement. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will ensure this basement stays dry for many years into the future!

Having to manually remove water from their basement following any rainfall was not something this homeowner was too keen to continue. After seeing TC Hafford Basement Systems in their newspaper, they called us to ask about a free estimate. Following their estimate, our installation crew was dispatched to get started on resolving this homeowner’s wet basement problem. Once our crew arrived, they began work on the basement by excavating the perimeter of the floor, creating a shallow trench. This trench enabled WaterGuard piping to be laid surrounding the basement floor. These pipes have slits built-in to capture moisture as it leaks through the foundation during future rainfall. Once buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will collect any moisture before it can reach to floors surface to pool up. This water is then guided below the floor to the SuperSump pump attached directly to the WaterGuard. The SuperSump removes 2,650 gallons of water per hour, plenty of power to keep this basement completely water-free!

Now this homeowner can relax during rainstorms, instead of struggling to keep their basement dry themselves. The WaterGuard & SuperSump system will maintain a dry basement floor for this homeowner for the future!
