TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Homeowners in York, Maine had water coming into their crawl space, and pooling up to the reddish/orange line you see here. Their old sump system could not handle the amount of incoming water. We poured a new slab floor with a TripleSafe sump pump and SaniDry Sedona. The TripleSafe system has two Zoeller pumps that work together to pump over 6,000 gallons per hour. The new slab helps prevent water from seeping in through the old floor cracks. The SaniDry Sedona is a high efficiency air system that controls the humidity to help keep the space dry.

Homeowners wanted to learn about options for insulating their crawl space in York, Maine. We installed Spray Foam insulation on the crawl space walls and rim joists of the home. Spray Foam expands as it is applied, so it is excellent at filling cracks and gaps to create an air tight seal. Oftentimes traditional fiberglass insulation gets damp and then turns moldy, or falls away from the home, causing it to be ineffective. Spray Foam insulation is water and mold resistant, making it the perfect choice for crawl spaces!

This York, ME, home has a tendency to flood whenever it rains, which has caused the homeowner issues with musty smells from mold. The odor penetrates the floor and leaks into the home, especially during the summer months. Worried about rodents and air quality, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Rick Russell worked with the homeowner to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would solve their problems.

To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting is a durable barrier with dimples to help channel water and elevate the CleanSpace, keeping it clean. CleanSpace is a durable, inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out. A SmartSump was installed to capture water and pump it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. Not only is the homeowner able to enjoy their home with better air quality and without having to worry about water in their crawl space.

Then we add our CleanSpace liner, a vapor barrier that seals out moisture. CleanSpace is made with an inorganic material that does not allow mold to grow.
