Before & After Photos

Living with a damp basement for some time, this Hope, ME homeowner was in the market for a solution to their problem. After a call to us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and a free estimate from our sales rep., they were ready to have us get started on a WaterGuard installation to protect their basement. When our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started on the project by excavating the existing slab to replace it with a fresh slab fitted with a Drainage Matting beneath. A WaterGuard piping system was installed around the perimeter of the new basement floor, hidden just below the surface. Once the slab dries, the WaterGuard piping will capture any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future through small slits along the lower edge of the piping. The WaterGuard feeds directly into a TripleSafe sump system installed in the floor as well. The TripleSafe houses three pumps, including a battery-powered backup pump to keep the basement completely free of water year-round. Finally, the discharge line leaving the home was fitted with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments to provide further protection against ice or debris that might have otherwise blocked the line and caused problems.

With these new installations below their home, this homeowner now has the permanent waterproofing solution they were looking for. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe combination will maintain a dry basement for this homeowner for years to come!

These homeowners in Thomaston, ME were ready to upgrade their basement and crawlspace into a more pleasant space. After normal movement and pressure against the foundation walls, they've experienced some water leaking in and damaging the walls and floors. The crawl space became difficult to walk through, and the moisture made the air quality very poor. 

We were called to give an estimate to repair this space. A system design specialist went out and designed a complete system custom for this space to keep it dry all the time. A SmartSump pump system was installed to collect and drain any water that enters the space. IceGuard allows the water to flow from the sump pump out through the discharge line without freezing. Our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system was installed in the crawl space with Drainage Matting underneath. We also recommended a SaniDry to control odors, mold and humidity. 

The space is now dry, clean, odorless, and safe. The best part it, it will stay like this for the life of the home! With yearly servicing we can ensure it all works perfectly and add on whenever necessary. 

This homeowner living in Camden, ME owned an old basement with a stone foundation. Water had been entering the basement and pooling up on the floor for some time and the homeowner wanted to have something done about it. After calling us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, our crew was able to completely waterproof their basement. A fresh slab of concrete was poured to replace the old slab, with WaterGuard piping buried just beneath the surface of the new floor. The WaterGuard pipes capture any leaking moisture and guide it out of the home through the newly installed TripleSafe sump pump. Finally, to seal any leaks that might enter through the walls and to brighten up the space, a CleanSpace wall system was utilized to cover the walls of the basement.

With their now-waterproofed floor and CleanSpace liner, this homeowner can now make use of their basement without that lingering fear of water damage. The WaterGuard piping will keep this basement water-free for years to come!

This Camden, ME, basement developed a leak that kept the area constantly wet, making it unusable for the homeowner. Wanting to use their basement for storage and laundry without the risk of having their belongings damaged, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems to book a free estimate. System Design Specialist Kathryn Dolan worked with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system that would keep their basement dry all of the time.

The homeowner did not want to cut any corners in keeping their basement dry and their home healthy, so they opted for a WaterGuard system. WaterGuard perimeter drain was installed where needed to collect groundwater and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe system contains two Zoeller pumps and a battery-powered backup pump in the case of a power outage during a storm. The TripleSafe drains through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that takes the water far from the home and is protected against ice buildup with the installation of IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to create a vapor barrier and channel any moisture to the WaterGuard.

The homeowner wanted to protect the air quality in the home, so they chose to go with the Aspen and SaniDry Sedona Bundle. The SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in their basement to keep humidity levels at a safe level. The SaniDry Sedona drains into the waterproofing system so the homeowner never has to worry about it not running when it needs to. The Aspen Air Purification system was installed in the living area of the home and covers 1500 sq ft, keeping the air clean and helping to eliminate odors. The homeowner is fully protected against water in their basement, and their home is healthier than before. Now they can use their basement however they want without the risk of their belongings being damaged.

This Northport, ME, family home has been dealing with water coming in through a broken slab during rainy days, and the homeowner was ready to take back control of their home. A wet basement leads to mold growth and musty smells, and the home is susceptible to damage and wood rot. The homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes worked with the homeowner, and together they designed a waterproofing that would protect the home and the health of their family.

The slab was beyond repair and needed to be replaced, so the homeowner chose to install a new Slab with WaterGuard. The area was prepped and regraded to create a level surface for the new slab. Drainage Matting was then laid down to create an inorganic barrier for the new slab to rest on, protecting it. The area needed to be waterproofed, so WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed to collect and channel water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup sump that protect the homeowner during rain events and power outages. The TripleSafe takes the water and pumps it through an Exterior Buried Discharge line. The floor above had a bounce and a slight sag to it, so SmartJacks were installed to stabilize the floor. SmartJacks have the ability to be adjusted after installation, so the homeowner is able to keep their floor stable as the home settles in the future. The basement was fully prepped, and the new slab was poured, leaving the homeowner with a smooth floor. To finish the waterproofing system, a SaniDry Sedona was installed to keep the humidity level in the basement at a safe level, preventing mold growth.

The homeowner is now happy that their family home is protected, healthier than it has been in years, and is able to be passed down through generations.
