After a few years of living with a basement that would take on water after heavy rainfall, this Lisbon, ME homeowner finally decided to do something to put and end to it! They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and our crew got to work right away providing a proper barrier to keep water from flooding their basement. To collect and remove the leaking water, a WaterGuard piping system was installed within the perimeter of the basement floor. This system was connected directly to the sump, where a new SuperSump pump was installed. Finally, a Drainage Matting was installed over the surface of the basement floor. This is all then covered by a fresh slab of concrete to give the homeowner a completely waterproofed basement floor, ready to be utilized for whatever the homeowner requires.
Lisbon, ME homeowners were frustrated with water coming into their basement from leaking windows. We installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump system, WaterGuard, CleanSpace Wall System, as well as a SunHouse window well enclosure. The SunHouse window well enclosure helps prevent water from coming into the window area on the exterior of the home. CleanSpace Wall System acts as a vapor barrier to help prevent mold growth and seal moisture out. WaterGuard channels any water directly to the TripleSafe sump pump to be removed away from the home.
Lisbon, Maine homeowners had an old sump pump but they felt it was not working well enough to keep up with their basement water problems. We replaced their old sump pump with our TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe has three pumps, including two Zoeller pumps and a third battery backup pump. The TripleSafe can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour in high capacity events. The UltraSump batter backup ensures the pump operates even if the home loses power. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system which can remove over 100 pints of water from the air each day, keeping humidity at a healthy level.
We recently helped homeowners in Lisbon, Maine with their leaky basement. The owners noticed water coming through a leak in the wall, as well as a crack in the floor. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump system with WaterGuard and Trench Drain perimeter drainage. On the leaking wall we installed CleanSpace Wall System to act as a vapor barrier, sealing moisture out and channeling water seepage to the WaterGuard. WaterGuard and Trench Drain capture water that seeps in and brings it to the TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps, and a third battery backup pump, ensuring your system will run properly in all conditions.
Living with an old sump, this Freeport, ME homeowner thought it was time they replaced it with a more powerful pump. Shortly after they contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, our sales representative met with the homeowner to go over their options and give them a free estimate. The homeowner soon gave us the green light to begin work on upgrading their old sump! As soon as our installation crew made it out to the home, they began by removing the old pump and digging out the sump to make room for the larger SuperSump. With the SuperSump installed, any water leaking into the basement in the future will be forced out of the home through the PVC discharge line. Outside the home, an IceGuard pipe section along with a LawnScape discharge port were attached to this line. The IceGuard provides protection against ice or other blockages in the line by allowing any trapped water angled holes to escape through before it can reach the basement again to cause flooding. The LawnScape port on the end of the line provides a grate to hold back leaves or other debris that could block the line over time.
With these upgrades in place below their home, this homeowner can now rely on their sump to handle water removal without needing to manually assist. The new SuperSump pump will keep this basement water-free for the future!
