This Yarmouth, Maine home was under contract to sell when a home inspection recommended the crawl space get a vapor barrier installed due to being damp and musty. We installed CleanSpace vapor barrier with drainage matting to seal out moisture, keeping the crawl space dry and mold free. We also installed Spray Foam insulation to improve the energy efficiency of the home. Spray Foam insulation also acts as a vapor barrier since it is water and mold resistant.
A Yarmouth, ME condo owner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their basement water issues. System Design Specialist Michael M. provided a free estimate for the necessary repairs to prevent future water damage.
Our crew worked closely with the Association to complete the repairs. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, channeling any water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help control moisture in the space. TrenchDrain was placed around the oil tank and other tanks to help collect any condensation and take it to the sump pump. We also installed BrighWall, a vapor barrier for the basement walls that inhibits the growth of mold and rot, is easy to clean, and never discolors.
We updated the insulation in this Yarmouth, Maine attic. The owners wanted an improvement over their old fiberglass insulation. We installed blown in cellulose insulation, which is mold and insect resistant. Cellulose easily fills around rafters and attic cavities to better insulate the space. It's made of recycled materials, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
This Livermore Falls, ME, homeowner had been dealing with a musty smell coming from their crawl space. Moisture and high humidity in a crawl space can not only lead to musty smells, but mold and mildew growth can be dangerous to breathe in. The homeowner needed help, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. The crawl space needed to be encapsulated to keep moisture and critters out, so CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting gets laid on the ground first to protect the CleanSpace and create a channel for groundwater to flow to a sump pump. CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that is attached to the walls and creates an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and the interior of the crawl space. Keeping moisture out prevents musty smells, and the homeowner no longer has to worry about damage being caused in their crawl space.
We helped homeowners in Livermore Falls, Maine transform their basement from a leaking, wet mess to a dry, usable space. We installed WaterGuard interior perimeter drainage system to capture water seeping in, channeling it to the new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller pumps, and a third battery backup pump, which can remove 6,000 gallons of water per hour as needed. The SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system also helps keep the basement dry by removing over 100 pints of water from the air per day. Controlling the humidity improves the indoor air quality, and ensures no moisture is damaging the home.
