Before & After Photos

Rockland, ME homeowners met with System Design Specialist Kathryn D. for help with their crawlspace. They had mold beginning to grow, and the crawlspace is directly under their master bedroom. We cleaned out all of the debris and old insulation to prep the space for a fresh start. CleanSpace with drainage matting was installed in the entire space, encapsulating the area and providing a seal from moisture. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that also prevents mold growth. We also installed a SmartSump pump system with an exterior buried discharge line to remove water away from the home. A SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air purifier was also added to filter dust and mold spores, and control the moisture in the air. Our homeowners can sleep easier now knowing their home is healthier!

Homeowners in Camden, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for support with their moisture ridden crawl space that was causing concern for the stability of the home. To encapsulate the area, we first installed CleanSpace with drainage matting. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that seals out moisture, and prevents mold growth. We also installed StarPipe perimeter drainage system that connects to a SmartSump pump system to remove any water away from the home. To finish the space, SprayFoam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists, providing an air tight seal and immediate energy efficiency benefits.

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!
