Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Rockland, ME homeowners met with System Design Specialist Kathryn D. for help with their crawlspace. They had mold beginning to grow, and the crawlspace is directly under their master bedroom. We cleaned out all of the debris and old insulation to prep the space for a fresh start. CleanSpace with drainage matting was installed in the entire space, encapsulating the area and providing a seal from moisture. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that also prevents mold growth. We also installed a SmartSump pump system with an exterior buried discharge line to remove water away from the home. A SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air purifier was also added to filter dust and mold spores, and control the moisture in the air. Our homeowners can sleep easier now knowing their home is healthier!

Homeowners in Camden, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for support with their moisture ridden crawl space that was causing concern for the stability of the home. To encapsulate the area, we first installed CleanSpace with drainage matting. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that seals out moisture, and prevents mold growth. We also installed StarPipe perimeter drainage system that connects to a SmartSump pump system to remove any water away from the home. To finish the space, SprayFoam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists, providing an air tight seal and immediate energy efficiency benefits.

Homeowners in Camden, Maine were experiencing a very wet crawl space. They already had insulation, but the air quality was poor and they were concerned about moisture damaging their wooden support beams. We installed our encapsulation system, which consists of two parts. First we lay down drainage matting to control any groundwater. Then we add our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner on top. CleanSpace seals moisture out of the crawl space. The vapor barrier is also made of an inorganic material, which prevents mold growth. Their crawl space is now healthy and protected!

We recently helped homeowners in Northport, Maine with their damp and musty crawl space. Not only did the space have an odor, but the moisture had caused some damage to the wood beams supporting their home. To keep water out, we installed our two-step encapsulation system, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. A SmartSump pump was added to remove groundwater away from the home. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity, removing 100 pints of moisture per day from the crawl space.

Not pictured here, we also installed a new supplemental beam and SmartJacks. Since the original wooden beams had water damage and were beginning to rot, we secured the home by stabilizing it with the new beams. SmartJacks are zinc-coated steel posts that are custom fit to the space and can be adjusted over time. 

Homeowners in Belfast, Maine had to deal with costly mold remediation in their crawl space. They did not want the mold to come back, and reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. We encapsulated their crawl space to seal out moisture. The dirt floors and stone walls were damp and letting water seep in. Our encapsulation process involves two steps, first a layer of drainage matting to control the groundwater, followed up by our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top. CleanSpace prevents moisture from coming in, and because it is made of an inorganic material it prevents mold from being able to grow. We also installed a TripleSafe sump pump to remove the groundwater away from the home. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed, which not only controls the humidity to a healthy level preventing moisture, but also filters out allergens like mold spores.
