Kittery, ME Basement Properly Waterproofed Following Recent Flooding

After a storm left their basement with three inches of standing water, this Kittery, ME homeowner knew it was time to have the space waterproofed. They contacted us at TC Hafford and our team got to work right away! Without an existing sump to work with, our crew excavated room for one to be installed along with the perimeter of the floor to make way for the WaterGuard system. The WaterGuard piping is laid around the perimeter of the basement floor and buried below a fresh layer of concrete. This creates a pocket of low pressure to trap any leaking moisture before it can reach the surface of the floor in the future. Now any water collected by the WaterGuard is fed directly into a TripleSafe pump to be removed from the home through a discharge line. The TripleSafe utilizes two pumps to keep up with any water leaking into the basement; as well as a third, battery-operated, backup pump to ensure the basement remains dry even when the home loses power.

These new waterproofing measures will keep this homeowner’s basement safe from any rainfall that would have otherwise flooded the space. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe systems working together will be more than enough to keep this home completely water-free.
