Before & After Photos

This Kittery Point, ME homeowner wanted to use their basement for storage but felt uncomfortable doing so because of water problems. Looking to take care of their issue and regain control over their basement, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner to go over their concerns and design a system that would keep the home healthy and their belongings safe. First, the old sump was removed and replaced with a SuperSump that is connected to a Buried Discharge Line. The SuperSump takes all groundwater and pumps it through the Buried Discharge Line far enough from the house where it can’t cause any trouble. To keep the system running all year round without issue, IceGuard is installed to prevent ice buildup during the harsh Maine winter months. Now the homeowner is able to use their basement for storage without concern of their belongings being damaged.

York, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for support with the walkout basement at their beach house. The home was built in the 1890's, and they were experiencing water coming up through the floor. We poured a brand new slab floor, including WaterGuard perimeter drainage system, and a new TripleSafe sump pump to handle any moisture. The TripleSafe pumps water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. 

Homeowners in York, Maine had water coming into their crawl space, and pooling up to the reddish/orange line you see here. Their old sump system could not handle the amount of incoming water. We poured a new slab floor with a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona. The TripleSafe system has two Zoeller pumps that work together to pump over 6,000 gallons per hour. The new slab helps prevent water from seeping in through the old floor cracks. The SaniDry Sedona is a high efficiency air system that controls the humidity to help keep the space dry.

This Norway, ME, home had water coming up through the floor due to an old and broken slab. The homeowner wanted to be able to use the spay without their belongings getting ruined and water damaging the health of their home. Ready to take care of the issues and regain control of their basement, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and booked a free estimate. The homeowner worked with System Design Specialist Sam Crowley, who helped them design a waterproofing system with a new concrete slab.

First, the area needed to be waterproofed, so Drainage Matting was laid down on the floor and WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed along the walls where needed. Drainage Matting will create an inorganic barrier to protect the new slab, and WaterGuard will collect and channel water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump features two Zoeller sumps and a battery backup to protect the basement from water in cases of heavy rain. The TripleSafe pumps the water out of the basement through a Buried Discharge line that is protected from ice buildup with IceGuard, keeping the system running all year round without issue. CleanSpace Wall System was installed on the basement walls and attached to the WaterGuard to create a barrier and collect any water that may come in.

Next, it was important to take care of some of the structural issues in the basement, so a new Supplemental Beam was installed along with a couple of SmartJacks. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel and are capable of being adjusted over time as needed to keep the floor above stable and level. Stabilizing the floor above protects the home from long-term damage, saving the homeowner from costly repairs. With the SmartJacks and waterproofing system installed, the basement was ready for the new slab to be poured. Not only does the basement look better than before, but the homeowner is able to use the space however they please without the risk or worry of their belongings being damaged.

A Rumford, ME homeowner was frustrated with their ongoing water issues. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for support. The basement had areas of constant standing water. The owner indicated there was no sump pump and they were interested in getting a pump, as well as any other solutions to help keep the basement dry. System Design Specialist Sam C. met with the homeowner to give a free estimate on the improvements. 

First we poured a new concrete slab to help protect against the old cracking slab. Slab WaterGuard was also installed along the perimeter of the basement to channel water to the new TripleSafe sump pump. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed to help control the moisture in the space.
