TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We helped homeowners in Bridgton, Maine who were experiencing a very musty crawl space, and they had concerns about mold due to the musty odors. To help prevent mold, we encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting. These products seal out moisture, keeping the crawl space dry and protected. CleanSpace is made of an inorganic material, so it is mold resistant. We also installed Spray Foam insulation around the rim joists and crawl space hatch. Not only does Spray Foam insulation improve the energy efficiency of the home, it is also water and mold resistant. Not pictured, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was added to keep humidity at a healthy level, and its filtration system removes the musty smell.

We helped the town office in Hanover, Maine to improve the comfort of the offices by installing Spray Foam insulation. Foreman Gabe applied Spray Foam to the basement walls as well as along the rim joists, sealing cold air out. Spray Foam is a great option for basement insulation because it is mold and water resistant in addition to the energy efficiency improvements. 

Homeowners in Oquossoc, Maine previously had a thin plastic layer installed in their crawl space to attempt to offer moisture protection. They found during heavy rains that water was coming in and getting very close to their electrical and septic systems. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help properly encapsulating the crawl space. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, consisting of drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Drainage matting controls the groundwater flow, while the CleanSpace liner is installed above to seal moisture out of the crawl space. CleanSpace is made of an inorganic material, which also helps prevent mold growth. 

We recently helped homeowners in Portsmouth, NH with their failing crawl space. Their old sump pump no longer worked, the fiberglass insulation was damp and sagging away from the home, and the dirt floors were allowing moisture to come in. We encapsulated the space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier, sealing out water. A SmartSump pump with UltraSump battery back up was installed to ensure they never had sump pump issues again. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to create an air tight seal, providing immediate energy savings for the homeowners. 

This Portsmouth, NH basement had water intrusion problems, as seen by the damp floors and efflorescence on the foundation walls. Efflorescence is the white powdery substance on the walls that happens when water comes in and evaporates, leaving behind a residue of minerals and salts. To waterproof the space, we poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system. BrightWall panels were installed on the walls to give a fresh, clean appearance and seal out moisture. Their new TripleSafe sump pump will pump water away from the home, keeping the basement dry.
