Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Enfield, Maine experienced sagging floors in their home from improper support in the crawl space. When moisture gets into a crawl space it can cause mold and rot on the wooden beams, which in turn causes issues like sagging floors. We installed SmartJacks and a new supplemental beam, all constructed with galvanized steel posts. The galvanized coating protects the steel so it won't rust. SmartJacks are custom fit to immediately lift and level the floors above. The SmartJacks can be adjusted over time as needed to keep a tight fit. 

We recently encapsulated this Lincoln, Maine crawl space. The homeowners wanted to seal up the dirt floor to keep moisture out. We installed drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Drainage matting controls the groundwater, while the CleanSpace liner keeps moisture out and prevents mold growth. 

This Lincoln, Maine crawl space was constantly damp and had dirt floors that the owners had tried to cover with plastic but it was not fully sealed up. The homeowners contacted us for help encapsulating the space properly. We installed drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier which work together to seal out water and give the crawl space a fresh, clean appearance. Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists, not only improving the energy efficiency, but acting as an added vapor barrier since Spray Foam is water resistant. Moisture will no longer seep up from the dirt floors, keeping this home dry and protected!

After putting a new addition onto their home, this Ellsworth, ME, homeowner has had issues with moisture in their crawl space. Not wanting to move on to other home improvement projects without fixing their crawl space, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and scheduled a free estimate. System Design Specialist Mark Smith drove out and met with the homeowner to work with them on designing a crawl space encapsulation system.

First, TC Hafford removed the old plastic from the crawl space and laid down brand-new Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting features dimples that create a gap, allowing any groundwater to be channeled without causing any issues to the crawl space. CleanSpace is then laid on top of the Drainage Matting to create an inorganic barrier between outside elements and the crawl space. Finally, a SmartJack was installed to better support the floor above and remove any bounce the floor had.

Now the crawl space is encapsulated, and because of CleanSpace’s bright white color, light is reflected, resulting in a perfect storage area that is protected from critters, moisture, and any other outside element that could cause issues.

We met with Mariaville, Maine homeowners to see how we could help them with their damp crawl space. The crawl space had dirt and stone floors, which were allowing moisture to enter the space, keeping it damp and musty. The moisture had affected the beams under the home, causing floors to sag and feel bouncy. To support the floors we installed a new supplementalbeam, along with SmartJacks. SmartJacks are steel posts that are custom fit to provide immediate lift and level the floors above. SmartJacks are zinc coated so they will never rust. To control the moisture, we encapsulated the crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting. CleanSpace seals out water so the home will stay dry and protected.
