Before & After Photos

Wanting to take care of the moisture issue in their Harpswell, ME, crawl space, this homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Todd Bernard met with the homeowner to discuss their goals and put together a system that would give them peace of mind.

Encapsulating the hardly-used crawl space would protect the area and home from outside elements and help keep moisture out of the crawl space, preventing mold and small critters from making it their home. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed with Spray Foam, ensuring the best seal. Finally, a Sump Liner was installed so that, if water ever becomes a problem, a sump pump can be quickly and easily installed without disrupting the CleanSpace.

The homeowner can rest easy knowing their home’s health is protected and their crawl space won’t be a home to any critters that aren’t paying bills.

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners upgrade their crawl space from a dingy dirt floor area, to a fresh, clean encapsulated crawl space. Our drainage matting and TripleCrawl sump pump system were installed to manage the groundwater. Our SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system now controls the humidity, as well as filters the air for allergens to keep the air in the home healthy. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals out moisture and prevents mold growth. We also installed spray foam insulation on the walls to improve the energy efficiency of the home.

This Harpswell, Maine home was recently purchased by new owners and they quickly found out the crawl space was very wet. System Design Specialist Peter F. provided a free estimate to assess where the water was entering and how to best keep the crawl space dry. The owners moved forward with our encapsulation system, including drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and Spray Foam insulation. 

Drainage matting and CleanSpace help seal moisture out, keeping the crawl space dry an dpreventing mold. The TripleSafe sump pump works to pump groundwater away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The SaniDry Sedona controls the humidity to a healthy level, removing over 100 pints of water from the air each day. Spray Foam insulation improves the energy efficiency of the home, and is also water and mold resistant so it is long-lasting.

Homeowners in Harpswell, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their damp crawl space that had falling fiberglass insulation. Moisture was weighing down the fiberglass insulation, causing it to pull away from the home, rendering it ineffective. To stop the water intrusion we installed our two-step encapsulation system, first a layer of drainage matting with our CleanSpace vapor barrier installed on top. Drainage matting allows the groundwater to flow freely underneath, while CleanSpace seals it out of the crawl space. We removed the old fiberglass insulation and installed Spray Foam insulation. Spray Foam is a great product for crawl spaces because it is water and mold resistant, while also improving the energy efficiency of the home.

Tired of living with a damp and dirty basement floor, this homeowner decided it was time they covered it up. After consulting with our team, the homeowner was greeted by our foreman Josh Bridge. Josh then laid a CleanSpace liner across the floor of the space, keeping out moisture and providing a much more appealing surface for the homeowner.
