Basement Waterproofing Before & After Photos

We helped Saco, ME homeowners solve their water problems with our comprehensive waterproofing system. The homeowners indicated water was coming in through a crack in their basement wall. We installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system that channels any moisture directly to the new TripleSafe sump pump system. We also added BrighWall panels on the basement walls. BrightWall gives the basement a fresh new look, is durable, and easy to clean. It's moisture resistant and helps keep the basement dry. 

Homeowners in Saco, ME needed help with their basement that has cinder block walls letting water in. To waterproof the space, we installed WaterGuard, a perimeter drainage system. WaterGuard collects water and channels it directly to the TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe is the top of the line sump pump that has two Zoeller pumps, as well as a battery back up in the event of power loss. Water is pumped away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line that is protected with IceGuard so it does not freeze up in the winter. The homeowners no longer have to worry about cleaning up from a wet mess.

This Saco, ME, homeowner developed an issue in their basement in the last six months where water would come in and begin to ruin their finished walls. Eager to finish their basement and turn it into a usable area, they knew that they had to wait until puddles weren’t forming on their floor when it rained. The homeowner went online and booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Ron Bedard met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a waterproofing system that would allow the homeowner to turn their wet basement into the space of their dreams.

To begin the waterproofing process, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to catch and channel water to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe Sump Pump houses two Zoeller sumps and an additional battery backup in case of a power failure during a storm, keeping the basement protected. In high-traffic areas such as doorways, TrenchDrain was installed and connected to the WaterGuard. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity in the basement at a safe level, and because the SaniDry drains directly to the TripleSafe, the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket. To finish the waterproofing system, the TripleSafe was connected to a brand new External Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home, and with the installed IceGuard, ice buildup won't be a problem, and the system will function all year long. The homeowner is happy that they can finally finish their basement without the risk of their hard work and money going to waste.

The son of Saco, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after moving his parents' water tank and realizing they had a leak from a cracked basement wall. They met with System Design Specialist Peter F. to address their needed repairs.

Foreman Noah F. and installer Joe M. worked to place WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, and connected it to a new TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the TripleSafe, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the cracked walls to the WaterGuard. Now our homeowners and their son can relax knowing the basement is protected!

Looking for a way to prevent future leakages in their basement, this homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. We set them up with a free estimate and they soon gave us the go ahead to begin work on their basement. Our installation crew began work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter in order to allow for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the floor. Hidden below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. This water is guided to the TripleSafe sump pump also installed within the floor. The TripleSafe system contains three pumps, two pumps for bulk water removal and one battery-operated pump for when the home is without power. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Equipped with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments, this discharge line is protected against ice build-up and debris blockages.

Now any moisture entering this basement through the foundation will flow through the WaterGuard piping directly into the TripleSafe pump for removal. This homeowner can now utilize their basement without needing to fear water-damage in the future!
