Basement Waterproofing and Concrete Repair Expert Serving Islesboro, ME

This property owner with a home in Islesboro, ME had recently discovered the basement in this home to be covered by a puddle of water following a recent storm. This needed to be resolved immediately, so they searched online for a quick solution. Once they found our TC Hafford Basement Systems website, they called our office staff to see about receiving a free estimate on the repairs. We scheduled an appointment for them to speak with our sales representative on the details of the solution and they hired us to get the job done soon after said meeting concluded.

When our installation crew arrived at the property, they got started by installing a TripleSafe sump system in the floor of the basement. Now any leaking water will flow into this sump and be removed from the basement through a PVC discharge line. The TripleSafe unit contains three pumps within itself. The first and second pumps both handle the bulk of the water with the secondary only activating if the primary is overwhelmed by the water level. The third and final pump runs off an internal battery. This pump will activate when the home loses power so that the basement remains dry even when the usual pumps cannot function.

Outside the home, our crew made two additions to the discharge line before they were finished waterproofing this basement. The first addition was an IceGuard pipe segment intersected into the discharge line just beyond where it leaves the side of the home. The IceGuard has upward angled holes that only allow water blocked by ice or debris to escape the side of the line. This protects the basement against potential backups from outside. Finally, a LawnScape discharge port was used to cap the end of the line. This piece has a grate that covers the opening in the pipe to block any debris that might end up causing a blockage in the line.

With these improvements to their home, this property owner no longer has a moisture problem to worry about! The TripleSafe pump will keep this basement floor water-free for years to come!

A homeowner in Islesboro had a basement which they were in the process of finishing. This basement, however, had a moisture problem, which was causing mold growth, and an unpleasant smell. Requiring professional help, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems after hearing about us from a friend. We got them their free estimate, and then we got to work!

Within the basement, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. The SaniDry will take in the air immediately surrounding itself. This air is then dried out and pushed back into the further reaches of the basement. This causes the air in between to be forced towards the SaniDry, creating a cycle until all of the moisture is gone. With this new dehumidifier in place, the environment in which mold thrives had been entirely removed. Eliminating this homeowners problem!
