Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

Homeowner was dealing with a significant amount of water in different areas of her basement. She wanted her home handled by the professionals so she contacted TC Hafford, who came out to assess the space. After consulting with the homeowner, it was decided that a WaterGuard Drainage System and a TripleSafe Sump Pump would be the best course of action for installation. 

WaterGuard is a perimeter drain that allows water to travel under the floors service, leaving you a dry basement. While the TripleSafe Sump Pump will collect all of the water from the drain and expel it out of the basement and away from the homes foundation.

This Lewiston, ME, homeowner grew tired of their sump pump failing. Ready for a replacement, they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with upgrading their system. System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the homeowner to design a system that would match what they were looking for. First things first, the old sump pump needed to be removed, and the area prepped for the new SuperSump Plus. The SuperSump Plus will ensure that all groundwater is properly pushed out of the area and through a buried exterior discharge line. With the upgraded system, the homeowner is able to relax and watch TV without worrying about water ruining their space.

Looking for a way to keep any and all moisture out of the space below their home, this Bailey Island, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to see just what we could do for them. After receiving their free estimate, they gave our crew the go-ahead to begin work on the permanent solution they were looking for. First, in order to create a vapor barrier over the exposed earth, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor and a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the entire interior of the crawlspace. This vapor barrier will block any future moisture leaking into the space before it can reach the interior of the crawlspace. This blocked water will flow through channels built into the bottom of the Drainage Matting to where it can most easily drain back into the ground without causing more problems for the homeowner. In order to expediate the water-removal, a TripleSafe sump pump was installed in the floor of the space as well. This device contains three separate pumps each working to keep this crawlspace dry year-round. The while the primary and secondary pumps work using power from the home, the third pump operates on a backup battery to ensure even during storms harsh enough to knock out power, the water-removal process continues.

These waterproofing measures will ensure this homeowner won’t need to suffer from any side effects of moisture build-up in their crawlspace in the future. The vapor barrier & TripleSafe installations will ensure this space remains dry & healthy for years to come!

At this Bingham, ME, home, water intrusion has led to a damaged freezer and heating unit. Ready to solve the problem and protect their home and belongings from further damage, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems to schedule a free estimate.

System Design Specialist Adam Hamm met with the homeowner to discuss their concerns and design a system that would surpass their expectations and protect the health of the home. Water was coming up through a floor drain, leading to as much as three feet of standing water. To ensure that water would not flood the basement, a TripleSafe Sump Pump was installed and connected to an exterior buried discharge line with IceGuard. IceGuard prevents ice buildup during the cold season, keeping the system running all year round.

The homeowner is now protected against water intrusion and can relax, knowing they won’t have to replace expensive appliances again because of flooding.

After moving into their new home, this homeowner was looking to do some renovations. Before they got started, however, they wanted to ensure the crawlspace below their home would remain moisture-free in the future to protect the renovations. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after receiving their free estimate, they hired us to get started on a vapor barrier installation. Our crew began work on the crawlspace by leveling the floor using crushed stone. Once level, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor of the space and a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace. Between the CleanSpace and the dirt floor, the Drainage Matting rests just above the ground and creates channels for which any blocked moisture can flow through to drain back into the ground below. The CleanSpace liner itself forms a barrier to completely lock out outside moisture, preventing future accumulation on the interior of this crawlspace floor. Finally, a SmartSump pump was installed in the floor of the crawlspace, to intake any blocked water and force it out of the home through a discharge line.

With a proper vapor barrier protecting their crawlspace, this homeowner is now confident they can move forward with their home renovations without fearing future moisture damage. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will maintain a dry crawlspace below this home for years to come!
