Before & After Photos

This Swanville, ME, homeowner has had a leaky basement for over five years and has noticed it getting progressively worse over the last year. Water has been coming in and creating a small stream in front of their fireplace, which has ruined the bottom of the walls, making it impossible to finish the basement. With no plans to move anytime soon, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid sat with the homeowner to design a waterproofing system that would address the needs of the home and exceed the homeowner's expectations. A WaterGuard Perimeter Drain was installed and connected to a SuperSump, which is attached to an exterior buried discharge line that takes the water far from the home, preventing further issues. With waterproofing protection in place, the homeowner is now free to finish their basement and finally turn it into a usable space.

Homeowners in Belfast, Maine had a failed sump pump system and wanted to replace it with one that had a battery backup, so they contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. We recommended our TripleSafe sump pump system, the top of the line sump pump. The TripleSafe features two cast iron Zoeller pumps, and a third battery backup pump. The battery backup ensures the pump keeps operating even if the home loses power. 

Homeowners in Belfast, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help when they noticed their basement floors were blistering from moisture. Water was seeping in at the cove joint, where the foundation walls meet the floor. We installed WaterGuard perimeter drainage, connecting to a new TripleSafe sump pump. The WaterGuard collects incoming water and channels it to the TripleSafe to be pumped away through an exterior buried discharge line. The TripleSafe sump pump has two Zoeller cast iron pumps, as well as a third battery backup pump to keep the system operating even if the home loses power in a storm.

This Corinth, ME, homeowner has been dealing with water coming into their basement during heavy rains, leading to damage to the walls and carpet. Tired of having to shop vac water off the floor and wanting to protect their home from more costly damage, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and booked a free estimate. System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner, and together they worked on designing a waterproofing system to protect the basement.

To take care of the issue, parts of the wall were removed for the installation of WaterGuard. WaterGuard is installed in the problem areas along the perimeter of the space and under the slab to collect water and channel it to the new SuperSump Sump Pump. The SuperSump is capable of sucking up groundwater and the water channeled from the WaterGuard and pumping it out of the basement through the new Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge takes the water far from the home where it won’t cause any issues, and with IceGuard built in, the system is protected against ice buildup, keeping the system running year round. With the waterproofing system installed, the homeowner is able to refinish their basement without their money and hard work going to waste, and the space will be protected against water in the future.

After years of living with a flooding basement this homeowner in Hampden, ME contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems in order to solve their problem. When our crew arrived, they were able to get started on the damp concrete floor by installing a WaterGuard piping system around the perimeter. This system feeds directly into the TripleSafe sump pump also installed within the floor. Now when any water leaks in towards this basement interior, the WaterGuard system will capture it and force it out of the home through the TripleSafe pump. Finally, an IceGuard pipe segment and LawnScape discharge port were attached to the PVC discharge line used to carry the water from the home.

Now this homeowner can utilize their basement without needing to worry about the constant flooding that they are used to.
