Solution

A struggling homeowner in Waterville, ME had a water problem they couldn’t keep up with. Water had been leaking into their basement through their concrete foundation. Unable to stop this flow of water on their own, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done.

Solution: The main problem in this basement was the pores in the concrete foundation. Without a barrier within, the outside moisture could easily leak in. To put an end to this, we dug into the perimeter of the basement floor. After we were done, we laid WaterGuard piping within the floor. After sealing the WaterGuard in place with a fresh layer of cement, the pipes will take in any moisture trying to leak in through the foundation from now on. This water is transported through the pipes to the sump for removal.

To handle the increase in concentration of water coming from the WaterGuard, this sump was going to need an upgrade. Taking care of this need, we installed a SuperSump sump pump. The SuperSump can move over 2,600 gallons of water every hour. This will be more than enough force to keep this basement water free. The water is forced out of the home through a PVC discharge line. To help keep the SuperSump functioning in even inclement weather, we attached an UltraSump backup battery. This battery will give the SuperSump an extra 11,000 gallons worth of life before requiring a recharge.

With their new basement system in place, this homeowner now has a handle on their wet basement problem. Thanks to the WaterGuard piping, this homeowner should have a dry basement for many years to come!
