WaterGuard Installation Protects Phillips, ME Basement from Moisture

Looking for a way to prevent future leakages in their basement, this homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. We set them up with a free estimate and they soon gave us the go ahead to begin work on their basement. Our installation crew began work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter in order to allow for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the floor. Hidden below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. This water is guided to the TripleSafe sump pump also installed within the floor. The TripleSafe system contains three pumps, two pumps for bulk water removal and one battery-operated pump for when the home is without power. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Equipped with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments, this discharge line is protected against ice build-up and debris blockages.

Now any moisture entering this basement through the foundation will flow through the WaterGuard piping directly into the TripleSafe pump for removal. This homeowner can now utilize their basement without needing to fear water-damage in the future!

Flooding Mechanic Falls, ME Basement Waterproofed Properly with WaterGuard

With water constantly flooding into their basement during rainfall, this homeowner was looking to have their basement waterproofed as soon as possible. After receiving a free estimate from our sales representative, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done! The perimeter of the basement floor was excavated to make room for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the basement. This new piping system will act as a low-pressure pocket to attract any leaking moisture before it reaches the surface of the floor from below the home. This trapped water is guided through the WaterGuard to the SuperSump pump freshly installed in the floor. Once in the sump, any water is forced from the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home.

With these systems implemented successfully and working together, this Mechanic Falls, ME home is now fully waterproofed. Now any leaking moisture will be pumped from the home before any accumulation occurs on the basement floor.

Waterproofing in Windham, ME

Windham, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet basement. They have owned the home for nearly 50 years and had water getting in through multiple spots. System Design Specialist Thomas R. met with them to give a free estimate on improvements to keep their basement dry.

 

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a new SuperSump Plus system. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which drains the water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Exterior Buried Discharge line is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. The basement is now protected against water leaks and the homeowners do not have to worry about their belongings being damaged by water.

Protecting The Health of Your Home

Water entering your basement will not only make the space unusable but can also affect the health of your home and family. When something as important as the health of your family is at stake, it's crucial to find a company you can trust to ensure the work is done right. This Westbrook, ME, homeowner had lived in their home for three years and wanted to protect their investment and home. The homeowner made the call for help, and TC Hafford Basement Systems answered.

 

System Design Specialist Ron Bedard drove to the home to meet with the owners and put together a solution that would meet their needs and protect the home. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch water and channel it to a TripleSafe Sump Pump system. Once the water reaches the sump pump, it needs a place to go. The water is pushed through a buried discharge line and is released where it is no longer capable of harming the home.

 

Now that the system is installed, we recommend yearly service to ensure the integrity of the system and the long-term health of the home and system.

The Future Is Flood Free

In the past four years, this Scarborough, ME, homeowner has had to worry about basement flooding and appliances getting wet. During heavy rains, the sump pump would often fail, leading to up to two inches of water, making it unsafe for the homeowner to use the basement for storage. After calling TC Hafford Basement Systems, System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the homeowner. Following a thorough review of the basement, he worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system to protect the home and prevent water damage.

A total of 81 feet of WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement, with four WaterGuard Ports for easy cleaning. A TripleSafe Sump Pump System to pump the water outside of the home through a buried discharge line. IceGuard was also installed on the discharge line to prevent ice buildup, ensuring the system remains optimized, even during harsh winters.
