Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Freedom, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after being highly recommended by their neighbors. Their crawl space needed sealing to protect against water intrusion and damage. We installed our two-step encapsulation system with drainage matting and a CleanSpace liner. Drainage matting helps channel groundwater underneath the CleanSpace liner directly to the new SmartSump with UltraSump battery back up. The SmartSump pumps water away from the home so it will not cause any damage. The CleanSpace liner seals water out, and is an inorganic material that prevents mold growth within the crawl space. 

Before TC Hafford Basement Systems got to this home, the crawl space was dirty, damp, leaky, and gross. As most crawl spaces are. The space was hard to access, it wasn't pleasant to walk through, water was settling in areas causing odors and risk of mold. These homeowners knew it was important to consider the air qualiy in their crawl space, as that's the air their family breathes in the rest of the home. 

A System Design Specialist visited the home and inspected the space. Working with the homeowner, they were able to design a system custom for this space that will keep it dry and neat. Our production crew went out and did a great job transforming this space into a safe, dry, odorless, usable area. We installed WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement, which directed water into the new sump pump in the crawl space. CleanSpace and a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier were also installed in the Crawl Space. 

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.

The SmartJack support system was installed to replace the old support system that had failed to properly support the floor, leading to sinking and sagging. This new system ensures stable and reliable support, preventing further structural issues and restoring the floor's level and stability.

This crawl space in South Thomaston, ME, was encapsulated using CleanSpace with Drainage Matting to keep out the elements.
