Homeowners in Albion, Maine reached out for help with their sinking floors. They were missing a support beam under their home, causing the sinking problem. We added SmartJacks with a new supplemental beam. SmartJacks are galvanized steel posts that are custom fit to stabilize the home, and can even be adjusted to lift the floors back to level. The galvanized steel will not rust, so it is a great long term choice for damp areas like crawl spaces.
TC Hafford Basement Systems recently helped Bremen, ME homeowners with encapsulating their crawl space. Their old crawl space had dirt floors and moisture issues, causing problems with their old fiberglass insulation. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, drainage matting with a CleanSpace liner. CleanSpce is a vapor barrier that seals out moisture, and prevents mold growth. SprayFoam insulation was added on the walls and rim joists to keep an air tight seal and provide energy savings for the homeowners. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to filter the air as well as control the humidity in the crawl space.
The CleanSpace vapor barrier system was installed to seal and protect the homeowner's basement. Our team applied the durable liner to the walls and floor, creating an airtight barrier that prevents moisture, mold, and humidity from entering. This not only enhances the basement's appearance but also ensures long-term durability and a healthier home.
System Design Specialist Michael M. helped Unity, ME homeowners with their damp and dingy crawlspace. The homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to learn their options for insulation and water protection.
We cleared the crawlspace of debris and regraded the area with clean stone. We were then able to install CleanSpace with drainage matting, an inorganic vapor barrier that seals the walls. SprayFoam insulation was installed on the rim joists to provide an added air and moisture seal. Lastly, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air purifier to filter any dust and mold spores, as well as control the moisture in the air.
A Liberty, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet and musty crawlspace. The homeowner wanted to encapsulate the space, as well as install SprayFoam Insulation, knowing it was eligible for energy rebates through the state. We encapsulated the space using CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. 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. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump, which features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. The TripleSafe drains water out of the crawlspace and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more dry and comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill!
