This homeowner living in Sabattus, ME was looking to finish their basement. With a concrete foundation and an existing sump system, they just needed a way to keep the floor warm and the air dry.

Once they spoke with our sales representative, they decided they were ready for us to help finish their basement!

When our installation crew arrived at the property, they got started on this basement by laying ThermalDry tiles across the floor. These tiles have a hard-plastic top and dense foam for padding underneath. This will provide some insulation from the concrete as well as cushion steps on the new floor surface. Next, a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed on the surface of the basement floor. The SaniDry will pull in the air from the basement, separating any moisture that might be present. The collected water is passed through some piping to the sump below the floor to be removed from the basement. The dried air is then circulated back into the basement, maintaining a healthy atmosphere within this space.

Now that this homeowner has these improvements within their basement, they can begin to utilize the space how they want to. The ThermalDry tiles will greatly increase the comfort of spending time in this basement.

A homeowner living in Sabattus, ME had been experiencing some mild basement flooding. Even though they had a sump in the floor, the water would occasionally be too much and the basement would begin to flood. Looking to put an end to this, the homeowner searched online for a solution. Once they found TC Hafford Basement Systems, they called us right away to receive their free estimate. They thought over their options and then gave us the go-ahead to beign work!

As soon as our installation crew arrived, they got started upgrading the existing sump. A TripleSafe sump pump was installed where the old sump was. This device houses three individual pumps, each operating to keep the basement water-free. The primary and secondary pumps pump out the bulk of the water, the second pump only activating when the primary has trouble keeping up with the amount of water present. The third pump is a battery operated pump, to keep the basement safe from flooding during any power-outages. These will keep any water out of the home around the clock.

The water from the sump is pumped up and out of the home through a PVC discharge line. This line carries the water through the lawn before it exits through a LawnScape pipe piece on the end. This piece has a grate over the top to allow the water out while keeping debris from blowing into the line. Just beyond where the discharge line exits the home, an IceGuard pipe piece was attached to the line. This piece has special holes built-in that allow for blocked water to escape the line. This protects against any ice that might form and block the lower end of the line.

Now that their basement is properly waterproofed, this homeowner can utilize the space however they please. The TripleSafe pump will ensure no more flooding occurs.
