After locating some seepage coming in through their basement wall, causing water damage and mold, this homeowner began looking for solutions to this problem right away. Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems provided a free estimate on repairs and began work on solving this problem for the homeowner as soon as our crew was available. The culprit for this moisture damage was a crack in the foundation hidden behind the drywall. To cover this crack for good, a FlexiSpan seal was applied. This three-layer seal will completely lock out moisture, preventing any future leaks through this crack. Next, to handle any moisture that may gather on this floor through other sources, a SmartSump pump was installed in the basement floor. These waterproofing measures will enable this homeowner to make use of their finished basement without fear of future water damage causing mold growth or property damage. The FlexiSpan Seal & SmartSump pump will keep this basement water-free for years into the future!
Brunswick, Maine homeowners wanted help encapsulating and insulating their crawl space, as well as evaluating if something could be done to help their creaking floors above. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Spray Foam insulation will be added to the walls and rim joists to provide immediate energy efficiency improvements to the home. We also installed two SmartJacks to lift and level the creaking floors above.
We recently helped homeowners in Brunswick, Maine to insulate their empty attic. Our Tru-Soft cellulose blown insulation can be easily added to immediately provide not only energy improvements, but also improved protection against mold, and fire resistance. Our Tru-Soft cellulose is environmentally friendly, made of 85% recycled paper. The cellulose fibers are treated with a fire retardant to help protect against fire damage, and also prevents mold growth.
Living with a regularly damp and rather unpleasant crawlspace below their home, this homeowner began to look into how they could resolve this issue. After consulting our team, they were setup with a full vapor barrier to clear the crawlspace of moisture and keep out future leaks. Now without any moisture to sustain itself, any musty smells due to mold growth will soon dissipate, leaving the homeowner with dry, healthy air in their home.
