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.

A Westbrook, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their basement. They found their sump pump was running constantly and had also become full of debris. In spite of the sump pump running at all times, the basement still had moisture issues. System Design Specialist Stephen C. created a plan to upgrade their pump system. We installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump, which features two Zoeller pumps so there is a back up pump in the event of a pump failure. Both pumps will work together to increase capacity in a heavy water event. The TripleSafe also has a battery back up so it will continue to work in the event of power loss. The TripleSafe removes water from the basement through a buried exterior discharge line. The discharge line is protected against freezing in the winter with IceGuard.

System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the owner at the property and worked with them to design a system specifically for this basement. The best course of action would be a brand-new slab with a waterproofing system.

First, to create an inorganic barrier between the new slab and the earth, Drainage Matting is laid down, preventing outside elements from touching the slab. WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to channel any water to a TripleSafe Sump Pump that will take water out of the basement and push it through an exterior Buried Discharge Line. CleanSpace Wall System is installed and connected to the WaterGuard, ensuring no water can seep through any cracks and end up on the new slab. To prevent humidity from being an issue, a SaniDry Sedona is installed in the basement to keep humidity at a safe level.
