Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

After many years of having a dry basement with no problems, this homeowner suddenly found themselves with two to four inches of water on their basement floor after some heavy rainfall. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got to work right away to keep this basement safe from flooding in the future. As soon as our crew arrived at the home, their first objective was to excavate a trench into the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. This allowed for our WaterGuard piping system and a new SuperSump sump pump to be installed in the floor of the basement. Once covered by a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard piping will capture any leaking moisture in the future and guide it to the SuperSump before it has the chance to accumulate on the surface of the floor. The water will then exit the basement through the discharge line coming from the sump. This line, protected by an IceGuard pipe segment, will carry the water a distance from the home before depositing it onto the ground.

With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can expect their basement to once again remain dry for many years into the future. The WaterGuard piping will now protect this basement from any heavy rainstorms that might have caused problems for the homeowner.

After living with a damp basement for years, this homeowner thought it was time they had something done about it. They had us at TC Hafford Basement Systems take a look and we got to work waterproofing the space right away! We began by burying a WaterGuard piping system below the floor to absorb and guide incoming water to the sump. A SuperSump pump then takes the water and forces it out of the home through the discharge line. Finally, a CleanSpace Wall Liner was used to cover the walls of the basement, brightening up the space and proving an extra layer against moisture build up on the walls.

As shown in the “Before” picture, this basement was beginning to show signs of water damage along the walls. Our installation crew solved this by installing WaterGuard piping beneath the surface of the floor around the outer edge of the basement floor. ZenWall tiles and ThermalDry flooring were used to bring the basement a more finished look and feel; as shown by in the “After” picture.  This basement is now ready to be used by the family without the need to worry about future moisture damage!

Typically needing to make use of a shop-vac to help remove water pooling up in their basement, this Sidney, ME homeowner needed a more permanent solution fast! They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and following their free estimate, we were able to begin work on the basement. Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started by excavating a portion of the basement floor to make room for a SuperSump pump to be placed flush withing the floor. The SuperSump was further secured with a fresh coat of concrete to fill any remaining cracks in the floor. Now during rainfall or melting snow this new SuperSump will take in and force any leaking water out of the home through a PVC discharge line. This line will carry the water a distance from the home before releasing it onto the ground to drain away.

With a more permanent water removal system in place below their home, this homeowner will no longer need to dry their basement floor themselves. The SuperSump pump will keep this basement water-free for years down the road!

Water had not been shy about leaking into this Chelsea, ME, basement, and after years of using pallets to protect their appliances and belongings, the homeowner decided enough was enough. It was time to call TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes met with the homeowner and put together a plan to give them peace of mind while they travel. The system started with a WaterGuard Perimeter drain connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. TrenchDrain was incorporated where necessary, and BrightWall was attached to the walls, not only to brighten the basement but also to add another layer of waterproofing. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed to keep the basement’s humidity at a safe level. The SaniDry Sedona connects to the TripleSafe, meaning the homeowner never has to empty a bucket again. All water is pushed out of the home through a buried discharge line, away from the foundation. Now, the homeowner no longer needs to worry about their basement and can spend their time relaxing on vacation.
