A Small Leak Leading to a Swamp
Challenge
This Kittery, ME homeowner has water coming into their space, causing havoc when it rains. With no plans to move or sell the home, it was important to them to take care of the issue, so their home doesn’t turn into a swamp. The homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help and scheduled an appointment with System Design Specialist Michael Penna. During the free estimate, they worked together to design a system that would meet the needs of the home and surpass the expectations of the homeowner.
Solution
Wanting the space to be dry all the time, WaterGuard was laid around the perimeter and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump System. WaterGuard ports were installed for easy clean-out, and TrenchDrain was laid in high-traffic areas, such as the door, to catch and channel as much water as possible to the TripleSafe. Water is then pumped out of the basement through a buried discharge line and away from the home, where it won’t be a problem. Now the homeowner can relax, knowing that their space is protected and their home is healthy.
