Your Dependable Nobleboro Basement Leak & Structural Repair Company

After living with a wet basement for years, this Nobleboro, ME homeowner had had enough! They needed a way to keep water from flooding their basement during heavy rainfall and they searched online to find the solution to their problem. Once they looked over our TC Hafford Basement Systems website, they called us right away to set up their free estimate! The homeowner soon sat down with our sales representative to go over their options before deciding on how they wanted their basement waterproofed!

When our installation crew arrived at the home to get started, they began by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the concrete basement floor. This trench would allow our crew to install WaterGuard piping within the outer edge of this floor. Now, after being buried below fresh concrete, the WaterGuard piping will capture water as it leaks through the foundation. The water enters the WaterGuard through small slits along the bottom edge of each pipe. Once trapped, the collected water is passed to a SuperSump installed in the floor. This device will pump the water up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line.

Outside the home, two additions were made to the discharge line before we were finished waterproofing this basement. The first addition was an IceGuard pipe section attached just beyond where the line leaves the home. The IceGuard has upward facing holes built in that do not impede normal water flow. These holes only allow for trapped water to escape, when blocked by ice or other debris. This will protect the basement from flooding due to a blockage in the discharge line. Finally, a LawnScape discharge port was attached to the end of the line. Here, the water will flow out onto the lawn through a grate that will keep most debris from entering the line.

With everything in place, this homeowner will no longer suffer from a wet basement! They can now make use of the space without moisture damaging their belongings.

When this homeowner living in Nobleboro, ME was having trouble with water gathering across their basement floor, they needed a solution before their property suffered any damage. There was a sump in the floor for the water to escape through, but with how much water was entering the space, the water would build up and flood the space before draining away. To solve their moisture problem, they searched online for a solution. The homeowner soon discovered TC Hafford Basement Systems and called us immediately to set up an appointment for a free estimate.

After they hired us to get the job done, our installetion crew was dispatched to the home to get started. To help remove water from the basement before it has a chance to accumulate, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the existing sump. The TripleSafe houses three pumps within itself, each serving a purpose. The primary and secondary pumps will handle the majority of the water needing removal, with the secondary pump activating only when the primary cannot keep up with the water-level. The third pump is a battery-operated pump which will activate when the home loses power. This will ensure the basement remains dry even during storms harsh enough the knock out the power. The collected water is forced up and out of the home through a PVC discahrge line.

With this new sump system in place, this homeowner will no longer go downstair during a rainstorm to find their basement with a layer of water across the floor. The TripleSafe sump pump will keep this basement dry for years to come!

A homeowner in Nobleboro contacted TC Hafford with an excessively moist basement air problem. This was already leading to mold growth and a nasty smell. The mold growing in the basement could lead to health concerns for the residents of the home, so this issue was a high priority. We had a crew out shortly after being contacted to get to work. We started by installing a SaniDry CX dehumidifier. This will start to get the job done of clearing the basement air of moisture. But this wasn’t quite enough. We then installed a second dehumidifier, a SaniDry XP. This way the basement air is guaranteed to not only dry out, but stay dry. Killing off the mold, by removing the proper living conditions, and returning the basement to its former glory.
