Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Andrew and his crew did a great job encapsulating this Crawl Space in Portland, ME. Now the homeowner has plenty of storage area that will be protected against  outside elements.  

We recently helped Portland, Maine homeowners with encapsulating and insulating their crawl space. We installed CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture as well as prevent mold growth. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls, providing added moisture protection as well as sealing out air. Spray Foam insulation offers immediate energy efficiency improvements for the home.

This Cape Elizabeth, Maine crawl space needed added supports after moisture had weakened the wooden beams. We installed SmartJacks and a new supplemental beam. SmartJacks not only stabilize the home, but they can also be adjusted to lift and level the floors above in the case of any sinking or sagging. They are made of galvanized steel, keeping them protected from rusting out. Each SmartJack post can handle 60,000 of load bearing, providing ample support to protect the home.

A homeowner from Cumberland Foreside, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their humidity and moisture issues. They were experiencing moisture issues up into their home as well as in the basement. System Design Specialist Mike P. met with the homeowner for a free estimate to address their concerns.

We installed a new slab, slab WaterGuard, drainage matting, a TripleSafe sump pump, and a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. Slab WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter and connected to a new TripleSafe Sump Pump. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the TripleSafe, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. Drainage Matting was installed to create an inorganic barrier that would channel water to the sump and protect the new slab. 

Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. The SaniDry Sedona drains directly to the TripleSafe, which allows the basement to be kept at a safe humidity level all of the time without the homeowner having to empty a bucket of water to keep it running.

System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with homeowners in Pownal, ME after they contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their crawlspace. The homeowners had a damp and dingy crawlspace that was in need of waterproofing. We installed CleanSpace with drainage matting. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that seals out moisture and also helps prevent mold, mildew and rot. The drainage matting allows a channel for water to flow to the SmartSump pump system the homeowners already had in place to remove water. Their crawlspace is dry and protected, and has a new fresh look!
