Your Trusted Buckfield, ME Basement & Crawl Space Repair Contractors

A homeowner living in Buckfield, ME had been experiencing trouble keeping water out of their basement. During heavy rainfall, water would leak into this basement directly through the cocnrete foundation. Unable to stop this leakage on their own, the homeowner was soon referred to TC Hafford Basement Systems by a family member. After they received their free estimate, they gave us the go-ahead to begin work on waterproofing their basement!

Once our installation crew arrived at the home, they started by implementing WaterGuard piping. This began with a shallow trench being excavated into the perimeter of the concrete floor. The WaterGuard pipes were then laid down around the basement. These pipes were buried using loose rocks and concrete to conceal them within the floro without hindering their function. Now any rainwater entering through the concrete will be trapped within small holes along the bottom of the WaterGuard piping and guided directly to the sump where we installed a SuperSump pump. The SuperSump will force this collected water up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line.

Outside the home, our crew made two additions to the discharge line before this job was complete. An IceGuard pipe segment was attached just beyond where the line leaves the home. This section of piping has special holes buil into the sides that only allow water traveling against the usual flow to escape. This will prevent ice from blocking the line and causing a backup. Finally, a LawnScape discharge port was attached to the end of the line. This piece allows the pipe to seamlessly exit onto the lawn, a distance from the home.

This homeowner can now utilize their newly waterproofed basement without worrying about flooding casuing any problems in the future! The WaterGuard piping and SuperSump pump will keep this basement floor water-free for years to come.
