Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This Hampton, NH home was purchased two years ago by the current homeowner and they had a few issues that needed to be addressed in the crawlspace so TC Hafford Basement Systems got the call. System Design Specialist Peter Folsom met with the homeowner and put together a plan on how to lift the sagging floor and protect the crawlspace from moisture. 

The CleanSpace system aims to transform a damp and musty crawl space into a clean, dry, and healthier environment by effectively managing moisture and preventing water-related issues. It can help improve indoor air quality, protect structural integrity, and create a more comfortable living space above the crawl space.

Benefits of using SmartJacks include increased structural stability, improved floor leveling, prevention of further damage, and the potential to regain the original height and integrity of the floors. Additionally, SmartJacks come with a warranty, providing peace of mind for property owners.

Homeowners in Greenland, NH had a strong odor coming from their crawl space, but they could not find any water or source of the odor. We encapsulated the crawl space to ensure no moisture was getting in, by first installing drainage matting and then a CleanSpace vapor barrier liner on top. Sealing out the moisture not only helps prevent odors, but also protects the structure of the home from mold and wood rot. Not pictured here, we also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry controls humidity to a healthy level, keeping the crawl space dry, and also has a MERV 8 filter that removes odor causing allergens.

We recently helped homeowners in Portsmouth, NH with their failing crawl space. Their old sump pump no longer worked, the fiberglass insulation was damp and sagging away from the home, and the dirt floors were allowing moisture to come in. We encapsulated the space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier, sealing out water. A SmartSump pump with UltraSump battery back up was installed to ensure they never had sump pump issues again. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to create an air tight seal, providing immediate energy savings for the homeowners. 

High humidity in a basement will lead to mold and mildew, creating unhealthy living conditions and can potentially ruin a homeowner’s belongings. No one deserves to have their family breathing in bad air, and this Dover, NH, homeowner began to grow concerned as their old dehumidifier was not cutting it anymore. The homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems with the goal of replacing their old dehumidifier and keeping their basement humidity at a safe level.

The homeowner opted to have a new SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier installed to keep the air dry and their family healthy. The SaniDry Sedona is capable of removing 95 pints of water from the air a day and filters mold spores, dust mite droppings, and other particles from the air. The SaniDry is more energy efficient than the average dehumidifier, costing less to run, and is set it and forget it. Unlike the typical dehumidifier that fills up a bucket that needs to be dumped regularly, the SaniDry Sedona drains to a discharge line, meaning the homeowner never needs to check on it and the basement humidity stays at a safe level all the time. The homeowner is happy again knowing their basement is protected and their family will stay healthy as mold is no longer a concern and musty odors are taken care of with their new SaniDry Sedona.

This Rochester, NH crawl space had constant moisture, and signs of frequent flooding. Moisture in a crawl space can weaken and damage the wooden supports to the home over time through mold or wood rot. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier, sealing out water. A SmartSump pump was installed to control the groundwater. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona, which is a high efficiency air system that removes moisture from the air to keep the crawl space at a healthy humidity level.
