Sump Pumps Before & After Photos

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!

Our Anson, ME homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on repairing their leaky basement. They had a horizontal crack in their wall and it was allowing water in. Our System Design Specialist Alan Noyes evaluated the homeowner's needs and prepared a plan to remedy the problem. We installed the CleanSpace Wall System, a SuperSump, as well as WaterGuard.

Waterproofing the basement:

WaterGuard is installed around the perimeter of the basement to channel any water to a SuperSump Plus. CleanSpace Wall System is installed and connected to the WaterGuard, ensuring no water can seep through any cracks and end up on the new slab. We also installed a SuperSump Plus which pumps water out of the basement through an Exterior Buried Discharge line and takes the water far away from the home. The whole system is protected against ice buildup during winter with the installation of IceGuard on the Discharge line. The work was completed by foreman Tyler L. and team.

The customer's basement was constantly at risk due to a failing sump system. Water leaks and the fear of flooding made it hard to enjoy the space, and the unreliable pump added stress with every storm. With the TripleSafe Sump Pump installed, the basement is now dry, secure, and worry-free. The advanced system ensures reliable protection, even during heavy rains, giving the customer peace of mind and a basement they can truly use and enjoy.

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.
