Before & After Photos

A local church in Orland, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their sinful crawlspace. They were constantly battling moisture problems, and were tired of the messy dirt floor. System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with the pastor to review the crawlspace and determine the best course of action.

To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. We also installed a new TripleSafe sump pump to remove water through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. SprayFoam was also installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, helping the church to save money on their energy bill.

In Eddington, ME, a homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after noticing water seeping through a vertical crack in their basement wall. Concerned about preserving their home's integrity and potential water damage, they contacted us for a long-lasting solution. Our System Design Specialist diagnosed an issue with the foundation wall needing a strategic waterproofing solution. Upon assessing the situation, our team designed a comprehensive plan integrating our proprietary products: BrightWall panels, SuperSump, and WaterGuard. The installation began with attaching BrightWall panels to the masonry wall, effectively stabilizing the interior and guiding any penetrated water downward. Protecting the space not only adds a line of defense but keeps the area bright and clean. Beneath the surface, we installed the WaterGuard system—a sub-floor perimeter drainage solution expertly designed to intercept water from walls and floors. Concealed under a neat concrete layer, WaterGuard provides effective drainage without obstructing the homeowners' use of their basement. Coupled with WaterGuard, the SuperSump system adds an additional layer of assurance. This reliable sump pump solution efficiently removes water away from the foundation using a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump and includes an alert system for optimal peace of mind. As a result, our customer now enjoys a safe, dry, and usable basement.

After putting a new addition onto their home, this Ellsworth, ME, homeowner has had issues with moisture in their crawl space. Not wanting to move on to other home improvement projects without fixing their crawl space, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and scheduled a free estimate. System Design Specialist Mark Smith drove out and met with the homeowner to work with them on designing a crawl space encapsulation system.

First, TC Hafford removed the old plastic from the crawl space and laid down brand-new Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting features dimples that create a gap, allowing any groundwater to be channeled without causing any issues to the crawl space. CleanSpace is then laid on top of the Drainage Matting to create an inorganic barrier between outside elements and the crawl space. Finally, a SmartJack was installed to better support the floor above and remove any bounce the floor had.

Now the crawl space is encapsulated, and because of CleanSpace’s bright white color, light is reflected, resulting in a perfect storage area that is protected from critters, moisture, and any other outside element that could cause issues.

We met with Mariaville, Maine homeowners to see how we could help them with their damp crawl space. The crawl space had dirt and stone floors, which were allowing moisture to enter the space, keeping it damp and musty. The moisture had affected the beams under the home, causing floors to sag and feel bouncy. To support the floors we installed a new supplementalbeam, along with SmartJacks. SmartJacks are steel posts that are custom fit to provide immediate lift and level the floors above. SmartJacks are zinc coated so they will never rust. To control the moisture, we encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting. CleanSpace seals out water so the home will stay dry and protected.
