Before & After Photos

After living in their Portland, ME home for three years, this homeowner decided it was time they upgraded from the small sump they got from a hardware store when they moved in. Our crew got to work on their basement by rounding out the existing sump hole and installing a SuperSump system in the floor. This new pump will output at a rate of over 2,600 gallons of water per hour. This water exits the basement through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. Now the homeowner can be sure their sump will keep their basement floor dry during exceptionally heavy rainfall.

While it’s normal to have some fractures in your basement slab, water should not be coming through, and it should not be crumbling. This Portland, Maine homeowner recently moved into their home and knew they needed to address the issue in their basement. System Design Specialist Michael Penna met with the homeowner and put together a system that would protect their home from future water damage and outside elements.

The original slab in the basement was beyond repair, and a new one was necessary. Drainage Matting is laid down to create a barrier between outside elements and the new slab. This protects the new slab and aids in keeping water where it should be. WaterGuard is set around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The new slab is poured, and TripleSafe is connected to a buried exterior discharge line that takes any groundwater away from the basement.

Your basement doesn’t have to be the scariest part of your home, and with TC Hafford Basement Systems, we can make sure that it isn’t.

A homeowner in Portland, Maine was dealing with water leaking through their basement bulkhead every time it rained, leaving the floor soaked and unusable. Frustrated by the repeated flooding, they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a lasting solution. Our team installed a TripleSafe Sump Pump System to efficiently remove incoming water and prevent future flooding. To address the excess moisture and musty air, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. Now, their basement stays dry, comfortable, and protected—no matter the weather outside.

Living in a home with a regularly damp basement, this Auburn, ME homeowner was in the market for some basement waterproofing. After being referred to us by their neighbor, they called our TC Hafford Basement Systems office staff and we set them up with a free estimate from one of our sales representatives. As soon as our installation crew was able to, they got to work excavating the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. WaterGuard piping was then put in place around the perimeter and covered by a fresh coat of concrete. These pipes along with the Drainage Matting on the floors surface and SuperSump sump pump will keep this basement water-free for years to come!

Auburn, ME homeowners contacted TC Basement Systems for help with their wet and leaky basement. They bought the home in November and by springtime realized the snow melt and rainwater was seeping into the basement where the wall meets the floor. They were constantly having to use towels to try to cleanup and dry the area. We installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that channels any moisture to their new TripleSafe sump pump system. The TripleSafe has a battery back up in case of power loss, as well as a back up pump in the event of pump failure. No more ruining towels for these happy homeowners!
