Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Brunswick, Maine homeowners wanted help encapsulating and insulating their crawl space, as well as evaluating if something could be done to help their creaking floors above. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Spray Foam insulation will be added to the walls and rim joists to provide immediate energy efficiency improvements to the home. We also installed two SmartJacks to lift and level the creaking floors above.

We helped improve an Orrs Island, Maine crawl space with our two-step encapsulation system. The crawl space had unsealed stone foundation walls, high moisture levels, and the homeowners wanted to add insulation. We first installed drainage matting on the floor to control groundwater. CleanSpace vapor barrier liner was installed on top of that, providing an encapsulated area that prevents mold growth and seals moisture out. Finally, Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to add an air tight seal, immediately improving energy efficiency for the home.

Living with a regularly damp and rather unpleasant crawlspace below their home, this homeowner began to look into how they could resolve this issue. After consulting our team, they were setup with a full vapor barrier to clear the crawlspace of moisture and keep out future leaks. Now without any moisture to sustain itself, any musty smells due to mold growth will soon dissipate, leaving the homeowner with dry, healthy air in their home.

Homeowners in Harpswell, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their damp crawl space that had falling fiberglass insulation. Moisture was weighing down the fiberglass insulation, causing it to pull away from the home, rendering it ineffective. To stop the water intrusion we installed our two-step encapsulation system, first a layer of drainage matting with our CleanSpace vapor barrier installed on top. Drainage matting allows the groundwater to flow freely underneath, while CleanSpace seals it out of the crawl space. We removed the old fiberglass insulation and installed Spray Foam insulation. Spray Foam is a great product for crawl spaces because it is water and mold resistant, while also improving the energy efficiency of the home.

Wanting to take care of the moisture issue in their Harpswell, ME, crawl space, this homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Todd Bernard met with the homeowner to discuss their goals and put together a system that would give them peace of mind.

Encapsulating the hardly-used crawl space would protect the area and home from outside elements and help keep moisture out of the crawl space, preventing mold and small critters from making it their home. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed with Spray Foam, ensuring the best seal. Finally, a Sump Liner was installed so that, if water ever becomes a problem, a sump pump can be quickly and easily installed without disrupting the CleanSpace.

The homeowner can rest easy knowing their home’s health is protected and their crawl space won’t be a home to any critters that aren’t paying bills.
