Sump Pump Repair & Basement Waterproofing Contractor serving Litchfield, ME

Owning a home with a flooding basement wasn’t something this Litchfield, ME homeowner was expecting to live with. Looking for a way to put an end to this flooding, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems shortly after seeing us on their TV. Our office staff set them up with an appointment to meet with one of our sales representatives who gave them their free estimate. Once they reviewed their options, the homeowner selected what waterproofing they wanted done and we got started!

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they got to work right away by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the concrete floor. This gave room for our WaterGuard piping system to be laid down around the edge of the basement. Buried beneath a layer of loose rocks and concrete to conceal the pipes within the floor without hindering their function; the WaterGuard will now take in and moisture leaking into this basement through the floor. Once inside the WaterGuard, the collected water is guided through the floor to the sump where we installed a SmartSump pump. This device will force the water up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line, eliminating the moisture problem within this basement.

On the exterior of the home, two finishing touches were made to the discharge line to better protect this basement from flooding. First, an IceGuard pipe segment was attached just beyond where the discharge line leaves the home. This piece has upward facing holes built into the sides. These holes will allow any water blocked by ice or debris in the line to escape without backing up and flooding the basement. Finally, a LawnScape discharge port was attached to the end of the line. This piece is covered on one end by a grate that will prevent most debris from entering the discharge line while allowing the water flowing from the home to exit normally.

These newly installed waterproofing products will now maintain a dry, healthy basement for this homeowner to utilize however they see fit. The WaterGuard piping will prevent water from collecting on the floors surface for years to come!

A homeowner living in Litchfield, ME was in the market for some crawlspace waterproofing. While not being immediately a problem, the damp crawlspace beneath their home was still unpleasant due to the musty smell that came from the space. When the homeowner saw an ad on their television for TC Hafford Basement Systems they called us right away to find out if we could solve their crawlspace problem. They received their free estimate and hired us to get the job done!

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they began work right away laying a Drainage Matting across the floor of the crawlspace. This mat sits just above the floor and has many perforations to allow for water bloced by the vapor barrier to drain away back into the ground. Over the top of this, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the crawlspace. This completed the installation of the vapor barrier and will lock out any future leakages. Now any water entering the space will be trapped between the CleanSpace and the ground, where it will soon drain away.

Now the interior of this cralwpsace will stay dry during rainfall. This homeowner will no longer need to suffer from the musty smell coming from below their home.

A homeowner in Litchfield had a very humid basement. This humidity could easily lead to the growth of mold. If left alone, this mold could then eventually lower the structural integrity of the house supports. The homeowner took to the internet to find the solution and came across TC Hafford Basement Systems. After contacting us for an estimate, we had a representative out to take a look and give potential solutions. Soon after this we got to work installing a SaniDry XP Dehumidifier. This not only dehumidifies the air, it also circulates it around the entire basement. This ensures the dry air reaches out into the other sections of a basement, and not just the local area of installation.
