Before & After Photos

We helped homeowners in Bath, Maine to encapsulate their wet crawl space. The crawl space had no insulation and water was coming in, which can lead to larger structural problems for the home like mold or wood rot. We installed our two-step encapsulation which includes a layer of drainage matting followed by our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and is treated to prevent mold growth. We also installed Spray Foam insulation on the walls and rim joists. Spray Foam immediately improves the energy efficiency of the home, and it is water resistant, making it a great option for crawl spaces.

We worked with a general contractor to encapsulate this damp crawl space in Saco, Maine. The general contractor was replacing rotted support beams that had been caused by the moisture in the crawl space. Dirt floors allow moisture to seep in, leading to big problems like mold and rot. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, consisting of a layer of drainage matting and a CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and is treated to prevent mold growth. We also installed a SmartSump and SaniDry Sedona. The SmartSump pump removes groundwater by pumping it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The SaniDry Sedona is a high efficiency air system that both filters allergens from the air, while also controlling humidity. The SaniDry Sedona can remove over 100 pints of water from the air per day!

Buyers were under contract to purchase this West Bath, Maine home when a home inspection revealed water issues with the crawl space. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help evaluating the cause of the problem, and how to fix it. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting on the floor to control groundwater, and CleanSpace vapor barrier on the floor and walls to seal out water. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the rim joists to help seal the CleanSpace, and provide energy efficiency improvements. Spray Foam insulation is also water and mold resistant, so it's a great product to utilize in below grade spaces. 

We helped a homeowner in Bath, Maine who had a "gully" running through her crawl space, allowing water to essentially create a stream below her home. We were able to transform the damp and musty crawl space into a dry and clean area. To handle the water we installed a TripleSafe sump pump, that collects groundwater and pumps it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The crawl space was also encapsulated with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal moisture out. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the rim joists to seal up the CleanSpace and improve the energy efficiency of the crawl space. Not pictured, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to ensure the crawl space was kept at a healthy humidity level, preventing moisture.

An Augusta, Maine crawl space was experiencing moisture problems, which made the homeowners worry about the integrity of the supports for their home, as well as their air quality. We removed the old fiberglass insulation and other debris, and regraded the area. Then we installed our two-step encapsulation process, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. Drainage matting channels the groundwater, and the CleanSpace liner is installed on top of the drainage matting and on all of the walls to create a sealed up space. CleanSpace prevents mold growth in addition to keeping water out. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to provide energy efficiency improvements, as well as an added moisture seal.
