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.
System Design Specialist Craig Z. helped homeowners in Burnham, Maine who were interested in a vapor barrier for their crawl space. Dirt floor crawl spaces often allow moisture to easily seep in, which can lead to bigger problems such as mold and wood rot. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, first by adding a layer of drainage matting to control the groundwater, and then our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture and because it is made of inorganic materials it does not allow mold growth. Not only will their home structure stay protected, but by encapsulating the crawl space the homeowners have also improved their indoor air quality.
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.
