With moisture leaking in through their stone foundation, this Southwest Harbor, ME homeowner needed a way to prevent this moisture from flooding their basement in the future. After receiving their free consultation from our sales representative, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to resolve their foundation problem. Once our installation crew arrived at the property, they began work on the solution to this wet basement problem by installing a TripleSafe sump system in the natural low point of the floor. Now when water enters the space, it will accumulate within the sump where it will then be removed from the basement through a PVC discharge line. The TripleSafe sump contains three pumps within itself. The two main pumps operate on power from the home while the third pump is a battery-operated backup pump. These three pumps work together to ensure water no longer pools up across this basement floor, even during harsh storms. Outside the home, an IceGuard pipe segment along with a LawnScape discharge port were attached to the discharge line. The IceGuard will provide an extra layer of protection against flooding by allowing any water blocked by ice or debris to escape the line before flooding back into the basement.
With their new sump system in place, this homeowner should no longer find their basement full of standing water following any rainfall. The TripleSafe unit will maintain a water-free basement for this homeowner for years to come!
Mapleton, ME homeowners reached out because their crawl space was wet and musty. They wanted to learn their options to keep the space dry and ensure they wouldn't end up with mold issues. We encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace and drainage matting. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier, sealing out moisture, and preventing mold growth. The integrity of their air quality and home foundation is now secured.
With a dirt-floor crawlspace below their home, this Winter Harbor, ME homeowner had been experiencing moisture leaking through their floor into their home. To put an end to this leakage, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got to work providing a proper barrier to keep the moisture at bay. A moisture barrier consisting of a Drainage Matting covered by a CleanSpace liner encapsulation was installed in the crawlspace to prevent outside water from entering the interior of the space. Next, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and Condensate Pump were put in place atop the new barrier to collect and remove any moisture lingering in the atmosphere of the crawlspace.
With the new CleanSpace barrier and SaniDry installed properly, this crawlspace and home will remain dry and healthy for years to come!
Looking to keep moisture from the ground out of the crawlspace below their home, this homeowner living in Winter Harbor, ME contacted our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems. Once they received their free estimate, they were ready to have us get started on the job right away. To keep out any and all moisture, a vapor barrier needed to be put in place below this home. This began with a Drainage Matting laid across the floors surface followed by a CleanSpace liner encapsulation. These layers form a water-tight barrier to keep out moisture entering through the earth under the home, protecting the home from long-term damage caused by accumulating water.
With a proper vapor barrier protecting their crawlspace, this homeowner can rest assured no water-problems will take root below their home in the future. The CleanSpace liner will keep out any moisture that might have otherwise gathered in the crawlspace from rainfall or melting snow.
We recently helped Birch Harbor, Maine homeowners repair their damp and musty crawl space. The dirt floors were allowing moisture to seep in, and as it sits stagnant mildew and mold can develop, creating musty smells. We encapsulated their crawl space with drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and is also treated to prevent mold growth. Additionally, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system that removes water from the air to keep the humidity at a controlled and healthy level. The SaniDry Sedona also has a MERV 8 filter that removes allergens from the air and eliminates musty odors.
