Before & After Photos

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!

Homeowners in Belfast, Maine had to deal with costly mold remediation in their crawl space. They did not want the mold to come back, and reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. We encapsulated their crawl space to seal out moisture. The dirt floors and stone walls were damp and letting water seep in. Our encapsulation process involves two steps, first a layer of drainage matting to control the groundwater, followed up by our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top. CleanSpace prevents moisture from coming in, and because it is made of an inorganic material it prevents mold from being able to grow. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump to remove the groundwater away from the home. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed, which not only controls the humidity to a healthy level preventing moisture, but also filters out allergens like mold spores. 

System Design Specialist Mark S. met with a Hampden, ME homeowner to give a free estimate on repairing their leaking basement. Their slab was cracking and water was seeping in, causing headaches for the homeowner. We poured a new slab, along with slab WaterGuard to help channel any water or moisture to the new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. CleanSpace walls are durable, easy to clean, and never discolor, giving this basement a bright, fresh look!

We recently helped a church in Searsport, Maine with their wet and leaking basement. Water was coming in through the old rock walls, and had even caused mold. After mold remediation, the church contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help waterproofing the space to prevent any future issues. We encapsulated the area with CleanSpace vapor barrier, which seals out water. CleanSpace is made from an inorganic material, so it also prevents mold growth. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to provide an added air and moisture seal, as well as energy improvements for the building. 

After consulting a contractor, this homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to have their musty crawlspace protected by a vapor barrier installation. When our crew arrived at the Glenburn, ME home, they got started by laying a Drainage Matting across the leveled floor of the crawlspace. Next, the support piers received Pier Wrapping and the entire space was encapsulated by a CleanSpace liner. This covered the crawlspace with a water-tight seal that would prevent future moisture build up in the atmosphere below this home. Finally, gaps in the joists above the crawlspace were filled in Spray Foam insulation, to allow the homeowner more efficiency when heating or cooling their home.

With these new installations put in below their home, this homeowner will no longer suffer from musty air emanating from their crawlspace. The CleanSpace liner will ensure this crawlspace remains moisture-free for years down the road.
