Before & After Photos

Owners of this Strafford, NH crawl space wanted help controlling the humidity and sealing water out of the space. We installed drainage matting with CleanSpace vapor barrier on top to keep the crawl space dry, and give the space a fresh, clean appearance. To handle the humidity, we installed a SaniDry Sedona. The SaniDry Sedona is an extremely efficient air system that can remove over 100 pints of water from the air per day, and also features a MERV 8 filter to remove allergens like mold spores.

System Design Specialist Sam C. helped homeowners with their damp crawl space. The owners had contemplated fixing it for years, and the musty odors and mold had only gotten worse. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Drainage matting helps control the groundwater, while CleanSpace seals moisture out of the crawl space. Spray Foam insulation was applied to the walls and rim joists, keeping cold air and moisture out.

This Middleton, NH, homeowner was dealing with musty smells coming from their crawl space, and the open dirt floor was leading to moisture issues. The homeowner knew they wanted a vapor barrier to be installed in their basement, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the homeowner for a free estimate and worked with them to design a system to keep moisture out of their crawl space.

The first step in encapsulating the crawl space was to lay down CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting is durable, and with the large dimpled design, a gap is created between the CleanSpace and outside elements. CleanSpaces bright white design helps reflect light, creating a more illuminated area that is perfect for storage. Encapsulating a crawl space benefits the area by keeping out moisture and critters, protecting the home, and creating a healthier environment. A Sump Liner was installed to make the installation of a sump pump easier in the future if it becomes necessary. To finish the encapsulation system, SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists to fully protect the home. Now that the crawl space is fully encapsulated, the homeowners’ worries are taken away, and the space that caused them concern is now a perfect area for storage.

This Rochester, NH crawl space had constant moisture, and signs of frequent flooding. Moisture in a crawl space can weaken and damage the wooden supports to the home over time through mold or wood rot. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier, sealing out water. A SmartSump pump was installed to control the groundwater. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona, which is a high efficiency air system that removes moisture from the air to keep the crawl space at a healthy humidity level. 

This Lovell, ME, homeowner is in the process of renovating their home, and to complete the renovation, they need to tackle their crawl space. Mold, rodents, and critters were a nuisance, and ready to take care of the issue and get rid of their unwanted guests, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system for their crawl space that would protect the health of the home and keep strange critters out.

To encapsulate the crawl space, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier to keep the elements out. Spray foam is installed around the rim joist and walls to insulate and seal up the crawl space. Even though water is currently not an issue, the homeowner opted to install a Sump Liner. This allows for a quick and easy sump pump installation in case it is needed in the future. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed with a Condensate Pump so humidity is kept at a safe level, without the need to ever dump a bucket of water.

The crawl space is now encapsulated and protected from outside elements, and the homeowner can move on to the next step of their home renovation.
