When it rains, it puddles, but unfortunately, it puddles in this South China, ME homeowner’s basement as well as their driveway. Looking to keep the rain outside, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to see what we could do about their water problems. System Design Specialist Adam Hamm drove out to meet the homeowner and work with them to design a waterproofing system that would solve their troubles.
Needing to handle ground and rainwater, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the slab to channel the water. The water needs a place to go, so a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed at the lowest point and connected to the WaterGuard to pump the water out of the basement and through a Buried Discharge Line. The Buried Discharge Line takes the water far from the home where it can’t cause any trouble, and to prevent ice buildup from hindering the system during the winter months, IceGuard was installed. To finish up the system, the old sump hole was filled in and capped, and now the homeowner no longer has to deal with water in their basement.
