Leaking Basement In Kingfield, ME Protected With WaterGuard
The owner of the Webster Free Library in Kingfield was looking for professional basement waterproofing. Their basement had been gathering moisture, and this was absolutely unacceptable for a library, because water damage was a serious risk! Seeking help immediately, the owner took to the internet and soon found TC Hafford Basement Systems. They called us to set up a meeting, and we had our representative over soon after to give them their free estimate. After going over options, we sent in our crew and got to work!
To begin, the inside border of the basement floor was excavated to form a trench. Within this trench, we laid down our WaterGuard pipe system. These pipes are then covered with loose rocks and cement to conceal them without preventing their function. They capture water as it seeps through the concrete, guiding it toward the sump, instead of allowing it to leak up onto the floor surface. Within the sump, we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This pump will evacuate all the water brought to it by the WaterGuard system. The water is pumped out through a PVC discharge line, which we attached an IceGuard to on the exterior of the building. The IceGuard is a special section of pipe that will allow the water to escape the pipe should the lower end of the line become blocked by ice or other debris. Finally, we installed a SaniDry CX dehumidifier within the basement. This will eliminate any moisture present in the air, creating a dry atmosphere.
With this waterproofing in place, the owner of this establishment will have no need to fear water damage in the future!
