Soaked in South Portland, ME

South Portland, ME homeowners were tired of dealing with water intrusion and damage to their basement. They called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help waterproofing the space. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, a drainage system that connects to the sump pump. They added the TripleSafe sump pump which is the top of the line pump system, with two Zoeller pumps and a battery back up pump. CleanSpace Wall system was installed on the walls to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth. 

Failing Falmouth Crawlspace Insulation

Our Falmouth, ME homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their failing insulation. The crawlspace was very wet with insulation failing and falling away from the home. We installed CleanSpace with drainage matting to encapsulate the crawlspace and keep it dry. 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 SprayFoam Insulation on the rim joists to replace the old insulation. SprayFoam helps keep cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill. Lastly we installed a SmartSump pump system, along with a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control the moisture. The SmartSump pump removes any water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line.

New Homeowners Want Crawlspace Encapsulation in Jackman, ME

SprayFoam creates an air and water tight seal, easily getting into nooks and crannies that traditional fiberglass insulation can't do as well. SmartJacks were installed to support the sagging floors.

New Vapor Barrier Eliminates Musty Smell from Strong, ME Home

This homeowner living in Strong, ME had been experiencing a musty smell propagating their home from their damp crawlspace. Without any form of waterproofing, the crawlspace was open to the elements. Looking for ways to remedy this issue, they contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate. After hearing what their options were, they hired us to solve their moisture problem and our crew was dispatched to the home to get started. In order to keep outside moisture from building up in the crawlspace in the future, a vapor barrier would be needed. This began with Drainage Matting being laid across the dirt floor of the crawlspace. Next, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the space, sealing it off from the outside moisture. Now when water leaks in through the earth, the CleanSpace liner will block its entry into the crawlspace while the Drainage Matting provides channels for the water to travel toward where it can most easily escape back into the ground.

With a proper vapor barrier to hold back moisture, this homeowner should notice their moisture problem dissipate very soon. The CleanSpace liner will keep this crawlspace interior water-free for years to come!
