Your Expert East Winthrop, ME Wet Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Company

Living with a flooding basement was not something this East Winthrop, ME homeowner imagined when they first moved into their new home. With a concrete foundation below the home, the homeowner was unsure how to approach the problem. After seeing an ad for TC Hafford on TV, they called us right away and we set them up with a free estimate. They spoke with our sales representative and decided they would like to have us get the job done on their basement.

When our installation crew arrived at the home, their first task was to excavate a shallow trench intro the perimeter of the basement floor. This allowed them to lay WaterGuard piping down around the outer edge of the floor, just beneath the surface.  After being buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard pipes will capture any moisture leaking through the foundation using slits along the edges of each pipe. The water is then trapped within the piping and guided beneath the floor to the sump where it will be removed from the home.

To take care of the water-removal, a SuperSump pump was installed in the sump. Nearby, an UltraSump backup battery was also installed and connected to the SuperSump. The new pump will take in the water collected by the WaterGuard and force it out of the home through a PVC discharge line. The SuperSump can keep up with more than 2,600 gallons of water every hour. The UltraSump battery will ensure the SuperSump remains active even during power outages, keeping the basement water-free during especially harsh storms.

With their newly waterproofed basement, this homeowner can now use the space below their home how they wanted to without the fear of water damage. The classic WaterGuard & SuperSump combination will keep this basement free of flooding water for years to come!

A homeowner in East Winthrop was having trouble with water gathering within his crawlspace. This water was beginning to cause mold to grow within the space, and the homeowner wanted something done about it. After seeing an ad on television for TC Hafford Basement Systems, the homeowner called us right away! We gave them their free estimate, and then we got to work.

To help drain the water from the crawlspace, we installed a SmartSump sump pump in the floor of the crawlspace. This will take in the water, and pump it out of the space through a PVC discharge line. To remove the moisture from the air, we installed a SaniDry CX dehumidifier. Removing the moisture from the air in the crawlspace will eventually kill off the mold. This is because mold needs moisture to survive.

With these new products in place, this homeowner will no longer have any trouble with water gathering in his crawlspace.
