Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Wells, Maine were searching for more information about vapor barriers for their crawl space and contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. Their crawl space had an old plastic liner on the ground that was not sealed off, so moisture was still easily entering the space. The fiberglass insulation was failing, falling away from the ceiling, typically due to the heaviness from absorbing moisture. After cleaning out the old insulation and debris, we encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace is a 20-mil liner that comes with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears, keeping water out of the crawl space. We also installed Spray Foam insulation along the perimeter rim joists, immediately improving the energy efficiency of the home. Spray Foam is also water and mold resistant, so it won't be damaged and fail like the fiberglass insulation did.

Homeowners in Wells, Maine live relatively close to a marshy area, and in the spring thaw experienced flooding throughout their crawl space. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with repairs and preventing the water from coming back again. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting on the floor to control groundwater, and then CleanSpace vapor barrier on the floor and walls to seal out water. Not pictured here, a TripleSafe sump pump was also installed to pump water away from the home. The TripleSafe has two Zoeller pumps that can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour, plus a third battery backup pump that keeps the system running even if the home loses power. The owners can rest easy knowing their crawl space will never be flooded like this again!

Kennebunk, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems when they realized some of the brick supports in their crawl space were crumbling. The home was built in the 1850's and needed help stabilizing the area. We protected the crawl space from water by encapsulating it with CleanSpace and drainage matting. We also installed a SmartSump pump to remove any moisture out of the crawl space. SmartJacks were added to stabilize the crawlspace in the event that the original brick support columns continued to fail. The home is now safe and secure, and dry to boot! 

With up to 6 inches of water in their crawl space during heavy rains and no intentions to ever move, this Kennebunk homeowner refused to let their crawl space rain on their heads anymore. After calling TC Hafford Basement Systems, System Design Specialist Ron Bedard drove out to the home to meet with the owner. Looking to avoid mold and any home damage, Ron and the homeowner worked together to design a system that would take care of the needs of the home while meeting the homeowners’ expectations.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down and attached to the walls to act as a barrier, keeping outside elements outside where it won’t be a problem. Two Interior Discharge Lines are connected to two SuperSumps that will push any ground water outside through an exterior discharge line where it won’t be a problem. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed in the crawl space to maintain safe humidity levels. The homeowner now can rest with peace of mind that they won’t have to worry about it raining in their crawl space anymore.

With water coming in and a bad sump pump, this crawl space needed some help, and TC Hafford Basement Systems was happy to provide it. System Design Specialist Ron Bedard went out to the Kennebunk home to design a system to fully encapsulate the space. The old sump pump was removed and replaced with a TripleCrawl Sump Pump System, and Drainage Matting was laid down. CleanSpace was installed, and the TripleCrawl was connected to an Exterior Discharge Line to direct water away from the house. Water is no longer a concern, and outside elements are no longer able to cause issues in the crawl space.
