Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Camden, Maine were experiencing a very wet crawl space. They already had insulation, but the air quality was poor and they were concerned about moisture damaging their wooden support beams. We installed our encapsulation system, which consists of two parts. First we lay down drainage matting to control any groundwater. Then we add our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner on top. CleanSpace seals moisture out of the crawl space. The vapor barrier is also made of an inorganic material, which prevents mold growth. Their crawl space is now healthy and protected!

We recently helped homeowners in Northport, Maine with their damp and musty crawl space. Not only did the space have an odor, but the moisture had caused some damage to the wood beams supporting their home. To keep water out, we installed our two-step encapsulation system, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. A SmartSump pump was added to remove groundwater away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity, removing 100 pints of moisture per day from the crawl space.

Not pictured here, we also installed a new supplemental beam and SmartJacks. Since the original wooden beams had water damage and were beginning to rot, we secured the home by stabilizing it with the new beams. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that are custom fit to the space and can be adjusted over time. 

When the floor above their crawlspace started to droop due to moisture build up and potential rot in the supports, this Belfast, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to receive a free estimate on the cost of repairs. Shortly after their meeting with our sales representative, the homeowner hired us to get started on a waterproofing solution for the crawlspace. When our installation crew arrived at the home their first objective was to replace the old failing supports with new SmartJack pylons. These adjustable supports will enable our team to relevel the floor above the crawlspace. Next, a Drainage Matting & CleanSpace liner were utilized to encapsulate the crawlspace with a proper vapor barrier. The Drainage Matting rests below the CleanSpace, creating channels for blocked water to travel toward where it can most easily drain back into the earth. The CleanSpace covers the flood and walls of the Crawlspace with a thin layer to lock out any leaking moisture that would otherwise accumulate within the space.

With a complete vapor barrier as well as new supports in their crawlspace, this homeowner will no longer be troubled by moisture problems below their home. This barrier will maintain a dry crawlspace interior for many years into the future!

System Design Specialist Mark S. met with a Hampden, ME homeowner to give a free estimate on repairing their leaking basement. Their slab was cracking and water was seeping in, causing headaches for the homeowner. We poured a new slab, along with slab WaterGuard to help channel any water or moisture to the new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. CleanSpace walls are durable, easy to clean, and never discolor, giving this basement a bright, fresh look!

We recently helped a church in Searsport, Maine with their wet and leaking basement. Water was coming in through the old rock walls, and had even caused mold. After mold remediation, the church contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help waterproofing the space to prevent any future issues. We encapsulated the area with CleanSpace vapor barrier, which seals out water. CleanSpace is made from an inorganic material, so it also prevents mold growth. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to provide an added air and moisture seal, as well as energy improvements for the building.
