Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

Having recently removed some of the insulation below their home due to mold growth from moisture build up, this Bowdoin, ME homeowner was in the market for a proper vapor barrier. They contacted our office at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after they received their free estimate, the homeowner gave us the go-ahead to begin work on solving their moisture problem. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, their first task was laying a Drainage Matting across the dirt floor of the crawlspace. This mat rests just above the surface of the floor, creating channels for any blocked moisture to funnel toward the natural low point of the crawlspace where it can most easily drain back into the earth. Next, a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace. This bright white liner will completely lock out moisture leaking into the crawlspace, keeping the space dry while any blocked water flows through the Drainage Matting to exit back into the ground it entered through. This forms a complete vapor barrier to prevent moisture damage and mold from taking root below this home in the future.

This homeowner can now rest assured their crawlspace will remain dry throughout the year, keeping their home safe from water related damages. The CleanSpace barrier will hold back any leaking moisture for many years to come!

This homeowner living in Strong, ME had been experiencing a musty smell propagating their home from their damp crawlspace. Without any form of waterproofing, the crawlspace was open to the elements. Looking for ways to remedy this issue, they contacted us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we set them up with a free estimate. After hearing what their options were, they hired us to solve their moisture problem and our crew was dispatched to the home to get started. In order to keep outside moisture from building up in the crawlspace in the future, a vapor barrier would be needed. This began with Drainage Matting being laid across the dirt floor of the crawlspace. Next, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the space, sealing it off from the outside moisture. Now when water leaks in through the earth, the CleanSpace liner will block its entry into the crawlspace while the Drainage Matting provides channels for the water to travel toward where it can most easily escape back into the ground.

With a proper vapor barrier to hold back moisture, this homeowner should notice their moisture problem dissipate very soon. The CleanSpace liner will keep this crawlspace interior water-free for years to come!

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.
