Before & After Photos

New homeowners in Vassalboro, Maine discovered they had water coming into the basement and wanted to learn more about options for waterproofing the space. System Design Specialist Thomas R. met with the new owners and recommended a TripleSafe sump  pump with WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage. WaterGuard captures water at the cove joint, where the foundation walls meet the floor. The WaterGuard piping is underneath the concrete floor, and brings the water to the TripleSafe sump to be pumped away through an exterior buried discharge line. The TripleSafe system can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour, pumping it away from the home and foundation. 

We helped homeowners in Alna, Maine who had water coming into the basement through the old stone foundation walls. To address the water leakage, we installed CleanSpace Wall System, a vapor barrier that seals moisture out of the basement, directing it behind the liner down to the new WaterGuard drainage system. We poured a new concrete floor with WaterGuard, and a SuperSump pump. The SuperSump can handle over 2,000 gallons of water per hour, pumping it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. Not only will their basement stay dry, they now have an appealing space they can use without worry about damage to their belongings.

We met with homeowners in Alna, Maine who experienced a consistently wet basement. The dirt floors allowed groundwater to seep into the space, and the owners felt like they couldn't safely utilize the square footage. They wanted to create a basement that would allow them to store their belongings without worrying about damage. We poured a new concrete floor with WaterGuard interior drainage system to address the groundwater. CleanSpace Wall system was added to the brick and concrete walls to seal moisture out, directing it behind the liner down to the WaterGuard drainage. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed, connected to the WaterGuard, to pump the water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. These products work seamlessly together to keep their basement dry and usable.

The WaterGuard drainage system is installed around the perimeter of the basement floor to collect water that seeps in through the walls or floor. It directs this water to the TripleSafe sump pump, which then pumps the water out and away from the home. Together, they create a comprehensive waterproofing solution to keep the basement dry and prevent future water issues.

Looking to keep their regularly wet basement dry, this Waterville, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems for their free estimate. Liking what we could offer them, they hired us right away to solve their moisture problems. First, to create a barrier protecting against leaking water, both a WaterGuard piping system and CleanSpace liner were installed around the perimeter of the basement floor and walls respectively. The CleanSpace liner will both brighten up the basement interior while providing protection against any moisture seeping through the concrete walls. This blocked water, as well as water leaking in from below the basement will enter the WaterGuard piping buried within the floor. Once inside these specialized pipes, the water is guided straight to a SuperSump installed nearby in the floor. With the help of an UltraSump backup battery for power outage protection; the SuperSump will remove any water that would have otherwise found its way to the surface of this basement floor.

With these new waterproofing solutions in place below their home, this homeowner can expect their basement to remain dry even during heavy rainfall. The WaterGuard & SuperSump duo will keep this home water-free for years to come!
