Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners encapsulate their damp, musty crawl space. We encapsulated the area with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is an inorganic material that prevents mold growth, while also sealing out any moisture. The homeowners were also interested in spray foam, so we installed Spray Foam insulation on the walls and rim joists. Spray Foam can easily get into the nooks and crannies, so it creates an air tight seal, and provides immediate energy efficiency improvements.

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners upgrade their crawl space from a dingy dirt floor area, to a fresh, clean encapsulated crawl space. Our drainage matting and TripleCrawl sump pump system were installed to manage the groundwater. Our SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system now controls the humidity, as well as filters the air for allergens to keep the air in the home healthy. The CleanSpace vapor barrier seals out moisture and prevents mold growth. We also installed spray foam insulation on the walls to improve the energy efficiency of the home.

This Harpswell, Maine home was recently purchased by new owners and they quickly found out the crawl space was very wet. System Design Specialist Peter F. provided a free estimate to assess where the water was entering and how to best keep the crawl space dry. The owners moved forward with our encapsulation system, including drainage matting, CleanSpace vapor barrier, a TripleSafe sump pump, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, and Spray Foam insulation. 

Drainage matting and CleanSpace help seal moisture out, keeping the crawl space dry an dpreventing mold. The TripleSafe sump pump works to pump groundwater away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The SaniDry Sedona controls the humidity to a healthy level, removing over 100 pints of water from the air each day. Spray Foam insulation improves the energy efficiency of the home, and is also water and mold resistant so it is long-lasting.

Looking to keep humidity out of the crawlspace below their home, this Manchester, ME homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. After receiving their free estimate, they hired us to provide a proper vapor barrier within the space. Our installation crew got started by laying a Drainage Matting across the dirt floor of the crawlspace. This layer rests just off the surface of the floor to create small channels that moisture can flow through without becoming trapped. The water will pool up in the natural low point of the space on its own to drain harmlessly back into the ground. Next, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the entire interior of the crawlspace. This waterproof layer finishes the vapor barrier installation, providing the protection against moisture accumulation the homeowner was seeking. Now during harsh rain or melting snow, any leaking moisture will be blocked by the CleanSpace without gathering in the crawlspace and causing humidity problems for the property owner.

With a proper vapor barrier in place, this Manchester, ME homeowner can rest assured their moisture problems are a thing of the past. The Drainage Matting & CleanSpace combination will maintain a dry crawlspace below this home for many years into the future.

This Madison, Maine basement had sagging floors from the home above due to a heavy kitchen remodel. The homeowners noticed their floors were getting worse and wanted to find a way to protect them. We installed SmartJacks, which are galvanized steel posts custom fit to the home. The protective coating on the posts prevents them from rusting over time. SmartJacks not only stabilize the home and floors, they can be adjusted to lift and level the floors back to their original position. Each SmartJack can support 60,000 lbs of load, providing ample support to the home.
