We helped homeowners in Springfield, Maine who had a cracked and bowing foundation wall that was worsening over time. Hydrostatic pressure was pushing in on the wall, and if left alone the wall would eventually collapse and fail. We installed PowerBraces, which are custom fit steel beams, to support the home. PowerBraces prevent the wall from any further movement, and can even be adjusted over time to straighten the wall back to its original position. The homeowners are not secure and confident that their home is protected.
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.
