Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

Having lived in the home for a little over two years, this Bangor, ME homeowner wanted to address the mess that their sump pump had become over the years. The open pit and leaky pipes were not only inefficient, but also leaky as well. Wanting to take care of the issue, the homeowner called TC Hafford and requested a free estimate. System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would fulfil the needs of the basement.

The old sump was removed, and a brand new SuperSump was installed at the lowest point to make sure all water would be channeled efficiently. New piping was run and connected to a Buried Discharge line outside of the home to take water away from where it could ever be a problem. All Discharge lines are equipped with IceGuard to protect against freezing, ensuring that the system stay efficient even during the harsh Maine winters.

The homeowner is now set up for success and can enjoy spending time in their home without being concerned about their basement year-round.

Every time heavy rain comes through, this Machiasport, ME basement fills with a couple of inches of water, causing severe moisture issues for the homeowner. It’s important to take care of issues like this quickly to prevent damage that can ruin the health of the home and create an unsafe space to live in. The homeowner scheduled a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems and worked with System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein to design an encapsulation system that would help the homeowner protect their home's health.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting is laid on the ground to create a channel for water and an inorganic barrier between the CleanSpace and the outside elements. The CleanSpace Wall System was installed to create a full encapsulation system to keep moisture out of the space. The water has to go somewhere, so a SmartSump Sump Pump was installed to pump water through the new Exterior Buried Discharge Line. To keep the system running all year, even during the winter, IceGuard was installed on the Discharge Line to prevent ice from building up. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed and connected to a condensate pump that drains to the SmartSump. Now, humidity will stay at a safe level, and the homeowner will never have to worry about emptying a bucket of water. The space is fully encapsulated, and the home’s health is protected.
