TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

System Design Specialist Michael M. met with homeowners in Readfield, Maine who wanted to learn more about encapsulating their nasty crawl space. The crawl space was always damp, with dirt floors that easily allowed groundwater in. Their old fiberglass insulation was falling down and failing. Foreman Travis and crew encapsulated the space with drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a SmartSump pump, and Spray Foam insulation. The drainage matting and SmartSump allow groundwater to flow underneath the CleanSpace vapor barrier and be pumped away from the home. CleanSpace is a durable inorganic liner that prevents mold growth and seals out moisture, keeping the wooden beams and joists protected from mold and wood rot. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to improve energy efficiency, as well as added protection against mold and water. 

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.

We helped improve an Orrs Island, Maine crawl space with our two-step encapsulation system. The crawl space had unsealed stone foundation walls, high moisture levels, and the homeowners wanted to add insulation. We first installed drainage matting on the floor to control groundwater. CleanSpace vapor barrier liner was installed on top of that, providing an encapsulated area that prevents mold growth and seals moisture out. Finally, Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to add an air tight seal, immediately improving energy efficiency for the home.

Homeowners in Orrs Island, Maine needed help with their wet basement. Part of the basement had dirt floors, and everything was always damp and musty. We poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage system to control any water seepage. We also installed our TripleSafe sump pump with SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. WaterGuard channels moisture directly to the TripleSafe to be pumped away from the home. Our SaniDry Sedona removes up to 100 pints of water per day from the air, keeping a healthy humidity level to avoid moisture. 

This Orrs Island, ME property functioned as both a home and an auto shop. The dirt floors were causing constant dampness in the space. We poured a new slab floor with WaterGuard perimeter drainage. The WaterGuard system directs all water to their new TripleSafe sump pump (not pictured here). The TripleSafe pumps water away from the property, keeping the basement dry and protected.
