Quality Wet Basement Repair Company in Farmington, ME

A homeowner in Farmington, Maine, contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to explore solutions for their crawl space. With a low ceiling height of around four feet and a dirt floor, the space was consistently damp, raising concerns about mold and structural damage. After an on-site assessment, our experts recommended a full encapsulation to address the moisture problem. We installed a CleanSpace liner to seal the space, paired with drainage matting to guide water away from the foundation. To further improve air quality and prevent future dampness, we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier on a stand and applied spray foam insulation to create a comprehensive moisture barrier.

The results were immediately apparent. The crawl space became dry, comfortable, and far more functional, giving the homeowner peace of mind about the long-term health of their home. They were highly satisfied with the improvements, recognizing the significant upgrade to their living conditions and home protection.

This homeownr from Farmington, ME had water entering their basement through the concrete foundation itself. They were unsure how to stop the leakages and needed to regularly remove the water themselves. Soon after seeing us on their TV, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems to see what we could do to solve their problem. After they received their free estimate, they hired us to get the job done!

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they needed to dig into the basement floor to properly waterproof this basement. A shallow trench was excavated into the perimeter of the concrete floor. Inside this new trench, a WaterGuard piping system was laid down surrounding the basement. Loose rocks and concrete were used to seal the pipes within the floor. The WaterGuard pipes will capture any leaking moisture from now-on through small slits in the bottom edge of the pipes. The water is then guided beneath the floors surface to the sump where it will be removed from the basement.

Within the sump, we installed a SuperSump sump pump. This pump can pump at a rate of 2,650 gallons of water per hour, which will ensure this basement isn't overwhelmed by any amount of leakage. An UltraSump backup battery was attached to the SuperSump nearby. This will keep the pump functional even if the home loses power during a heavy storm. The water is forced up and out of the home by the SuperSump where is is carried away from the home.

Outside the home, our crew made two final additions to the discharge line before this job was complete. The first was an IceGuard pipe section attached just beyond where the lien exits the home. This piece has special holes built-in that allow for blocked water to escape without causing a backup into the home. Lastly, a LawnScape piece was used to cap the end of the line. This blends the exit into the surrounding lawn without allowing debris to enter the pipe.

Now that their basement has been properly waterproofed, this homeowner can make use of the space. The WaterGuard & SuperSump will keep this space dry for the future.

A homeowner in Farmington had a basement which would frequently take on water during heavy rains. This was a problem for the homeowner because he was using this space for storage, and didn’t want his belongings to be damaged by the water. After seeing TC Hafford Basement Systems on his television, this homeowner knew we were exactly the company he needed! He gave us a call and we got working on the basement!

We began by digging out the inside perimeter of the basement floor. This allowed us to lay down our special WaterGuard pipe system, which was then covered in loose rocks and cement to hide it beneath the floor without stopping it from working. The WaterGuard pipes will capture water as it travels through the cement, not allowing it to reach the surface. We then installed a SuperSump sump pump with an UltraSump backup battery attached. The water collected by the WaterGuard is guided to this new sump, which pumps the water up and out of the basement through a PVC discharge line. Finally, on the exterior of the home, we attached an IceGuard pipe to the middle of the discharge line. This IceGuard will allow water to exit the pipe in the event of a blockage lower down the pipe.

With these systems in place and working together, this homeowner will no longer need to worry about water finding its way into his basement!
