Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

These homeowners in Saco, Maine were dealing with a damp crawl space. They contacted TC Hafford who arrived to help them with their issue. Our System Design Specialist determined that a complete encapsulation would greatly reduce the moisture in the crawl space, and the homeowners agreed. 

Our team of professionals installed a CleanSpace Vapor Barrier Liner, which is specially designed to be a preventative barrier keeping out moisture, humidity, and pests. 

Homeowners in Saco, Maine wanted to improve their crawl space by adding insulation and preventing any moisture problems. We first encapsulated the space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Drainage matting controls the groundwater, while the CleanSpace liner seals out moisture and prevents mold growth. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls to improve the energy efficiency and add extra moisture protection. 

Saco, Maine homeowners learned they needed more support for their floating beam from a recent home inspection. We installed a SmartJack steel post to keep the beam stabilized. SmartJacks can handle 60,000 lbs of weight each. We cut them to a custom size, and they can be tightened over time to adjust for any settlement.

Saco, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate on encapsulating their crawl space. They were tired of dealing with a cold, dusty space they felt they couldn't use. System Design Specialist Peter F. created a plan to insulate and encapsulate the space. To fully encapsulate the crawl space 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. Foamax wall insulation panels were also installed to act as a moisture barrier, as well as insulate the space. The homeowners can now store their belongings without everything getting dusty, and save money on their energy bills at the same time!

Saco, ME homeowners hadn't been down into their crawl space for years when they realized it was failing. It had dirt floors and moisture coming in, ruining their old fiberglass insulation. We cleaned out the debris from the old insulation and encapsulated the space with our two-step process. First a layer of drainage matting is added to channel ground water underneath the CleanSpace liner. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that seals out water, and prevents mold growth. A SmartSump pump with UltraSump batter back up was installed to pump water away from the home. Lastly, SprayFoam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to create an air tight seal. SprayFoam will immediately provide energy savings, and gets into the nooks and crannies better than their old fiberglass insulation. The homeowners no longer have to worry about what water damage may be happening in their crawl space.
