TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Open crawlspaces lead to the elements coming in and wrecking the health of a home leading to mold and cold floors. In worse cases, wood can begin to rot, leading to thousands and thousands of dollars in repair. Moldy crawlspaces can affect not only the health of the home but those living in the home as well. This Bartlett, NH homeowner was worried about the health of their family and wanted to take care of their Crawlspace as soon as possible, making sure the air they are breathing is fresh and clean.

System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and put together a list of their goals, and together they designed a crawlspace system that would accomplish their goals. The system started with CleanSpace and drainage matting with Spray Foam on the rim joists. To make sure water wouldn’t be a problem, they put in a TripleCrawl Sump Pump System that is connected to an exterior, buried Discharge Line that takes the water way from the home. Mold was an issue in this crawlspace, so Sam and the homeowner opted to put in a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This ensures that humidity never gets to a point where mold will grow. Together they built this system and ensured the health of the home for the future.

Homeowners in Alton Bay, NH are having a new home built and wanted to be sure they would not have any issues with water intrusion in their basement. We coordinated with their general contractor to install our TripleSafe sump pump, the top of the line sump system. The TripleSafe sump features two Zoeller cast iron pumps that combined can handle over 6,000 gallons of water per hour. There is also a third battery backup pump to keep the system operating even if the home loses power. 

New owners of this Alton Bay, NH home quickly realized the crawl space was humid and they could smell musty odors. We cleaned out the old fiberglass insulation that was damp and falling to prep the crawl space for encapsulation. First we install a layer of drainage matting on the ground that controls the groundwater, followed by our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner on top. CleanSpace seals out moisture, keeping the crawl space dry and protecting the joists and beams from wood rot. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists, keeping cold air out and adding another layer of protection against moisture since it is water resistant. Lastly, we installed a SmartJack support for a beam that was starting to sag.

A Conway, NH home was under contract to sell but a home inspection showed the crawl space needed repairs. The dirt floor was allowing water to seep in, causing moisture problems. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is a liner that seals out moisture, and is also treated to prevent mold growth. Spray Foam was installed on the crawl space walls to improve energy efficiency, while also sealing out air and water. 

We recently helped homeowners in Center Barnstead, NH who had old fiberglass insulation falling from the ceiling. They wanted to learn their options to keep the basement insulated and comfortable, without facing the same problems again. We installed Spray Foam insulation along the rim joists around the perimeter of the basement. Spray Foam expands as it is applied, filling every gap and crack to create an air tight seal. It immediately improves the energy efficiency of the home. Spray Foam is also water and mold resistant, so it is a great option for below grade spaces.
