Proudly serving Maine and Eastern New Hampshire including Portland, Bangor, Portsmouth, NH
Etna, ME homeowners wanted help with their cold, musty, and damp crawlspace that had dirt floors. System Design Specialist Craig Z. from TC Hafford Basement Systems met with the homeowners to give a free estimate on encapsulating their crawlspace to keep it protected.
First we prepped the space by removing the old plastic liner. To fully encapsulate the crawlspace 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. SprayFoam insulation was added to the walls and rim joists as an added layer of protection, offering an air tight seal and preventing moisture from entering the crawlspace. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona air purifier and dehumidifier. The homeowner is able to enjoy their home with better air quality and without having to worry about water in their crawlspace.
