Professional Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Contractor in Rangeley, ME

Living in a 50-year-old home, this Rangeley, ME homeowner regularly experienced a flooding basement whenever the water level in a nearby lake rose. Looking for a way to put an end to this flooding, they searched online and soon discovered our TC Hafford Basement Systems website. The homeowner called our office staff to set up their free estimate and met with our Sales Representative soon after to discuss their options. Liking what we could do to prevent future flooding, they hired us to get the job done!

When our installation crew arrived at the home, they got started on this basement floor by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter of the floor. Within this new trench, they were able to lay WaterGuard Piping surrounding the basement floor. Buried beneath a fresh layer of concrete, these pipes will collect any water entering this basement as it passes through the typical entry point, the floor itself. The water then travels through these pipes to the sump where it enters the TripleSafe pump installed within.

The TripleSafe unit houses three pumps, each activating at different times to keep the basement water-free around the clock! The first and second pumps may be active at the same time, with the secondary pump only activating if and when the primary becomes overwhelmed. This leaves the third pump, which is powered by an internal battery as opposed to the other two pumps running off the power in the home. This will enable the TripleSafe to keep removing water from the home even during a power outage. Any water leaving the home through the sump will exit through a PVC discharge line that carries the water a distance from the home.

With these waterproofing systems in place, this homeowner should soon notice their basement remains dry even during the exceptionally wet time of year. The WaterGuard & TripleSafe installations will keep this basement water-free for years to come!

After moving to Rangeley, ME, this homeowner soon noticed a problem beneath their home. A crack along one of the concrete walls was letting in water during rainfall, which would pool up on the floor of the basement. Having worked with us before, the homeowner called TC Hafford to have us solve their problem. They spoke with our representative about their options and then we got to work on the solution!

When our installation crew got to the home, they began work on a FlexiSpan seal to keep out the leaking water. To start, the crack was brushed clear of dust and debris by a coarse brush to help the seal adhere better. Next, a layer of sealant was applied within the crack, before a foam mat was laid on top. The foam will sit inside the core of the finished seal, to help maintain the shape of the overall seal while allowing it to shift slightly to any changes in the crack. Finally, a second layer of sealant was applied over the top of the foam, to lock the structure against the wall and complete the FlexiSpan installation.

With the crack in their basement wall sealed, this homeowner will no longer suffer from water damage due to leaks through the wall. The FlexiSpan will keep this basement water-free in the future.

A homeowner in Rangeley started having trouble with water coming in through the corners of his crawlspace. This would happen during heavy rains, but it mostly happened after winter when the snow melts. The homeowner was tired of his crawlspace flooding and needed to do something about it. He got online to find a solution, and found TC Hafford Basement Systems not too long after. He gave us a call, and we got to work on the crawlspace!

We got to work by laying down a Drainage Matting around the inside perimeter of the crawlspace. This will hold the water back from entering the air in the crawlspace, giving it time to escape back into the surrounding soil. We then encapsulated the entire crawlspace with a CleanSpace Liner. This liner will lock out any moisture trying to enter through the walls or floor of the crawlspace. Maintaining a dry atmosphere within the crawlspace, during the heaviest rains, or even after the snow melts!
