Homeowners in Center Ossipee, NH contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their musty, damp crawl space. The owners wanted to learn more about encapsulation and how it would help their home. We installed drainage matting on the floor to control the groundwater, along with CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the rim joists, sealing up the final area of the crawl space. Spray Foam insulation is mold and water resistant, and also provides immediate improvements to the energy efficiency of the home. Now that the crawl space has been encapsulated it will stay dry, preventing mold, water, and musty odors.
Homeowner in Wolfeboro, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems with concerns about the walls in their basement garage. They had dealt with leaking for 25 years, coming from all walls during every rain, and over time causing some wall decay and crumbling. Our System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the homeowner to review a plan for repair. Our foreman Joshua Benton and installer Korey Sanborn completed the work, including CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and a SuperSump system. CleanSpace is a durable, bright white vapor barrier made of inorganic materials that seals up the area and keeps moisture out. A SuperSump was installed to collect groundwater and pumps out of the basement and away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. Now the homeowner is able to relax knowing that their basement garage is protected and their home is more energy efficient.
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.

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.
