Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

TC Hafford Basement Systems helped homeowners in York, ME with their damp, dirt floor crawl space. They knew moisture could cause mold, or wood rot on their support beams and floor joists. We used our two-step encapsulation system to protect the crawl space. First we install drainage matting, which helps control the ground water. Then we add our CleanSpace liner, a vapor barrier that seals out moisture. CleanSpace is made with an inorganic material that does not allow mold to grow. The homeowners have a fresh, clean crawl space that will protect their home and major systems for years to come!

Homeowners in York, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their crawl space. The crawl space was damp with dirt floors, and the owners were also experiencing sagging floors above the crawl space, which is an indicator that moisture is causing the support beams to fail. We encapsulated the crawl space with our two-step process that involves a layer of drainage matting as well as our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the rim joists to seal the encapsulation and provide improved energy efficiency. Not pictured, we installed 6 SmartJacks which are zinc coated steel posts to immediately lift and level the floors above. SmartJacks will never rust or rot, providing unparalleled support for the home.

Our Wells, ME homeowner had a damp dirt floor crawlspace that they were tired of dealing with. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to encapsulate the space. System Design Specialist Rick R. met with the homeowner to create a plan that would meet their needs.

To fully encapsulate the crawl space and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. 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. A SmartSump was installed to capture water and pump it through the new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home and with the installation of IceGuard, the entire system is protected against ice buildup in the winter. Not only is the homeowner able to enjoy their home with better air quality and without having to worry about water in their crawl space. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.

Waking up to a smelly and damp crawl space is never fun for anyone. It’s valuable space in your home that could be utilized if not for the treacherous conditions. Although it may seem like a lost cause, don’t lose hope yet. CleanSpace with Drain Matting and a TripleSafe Sump System by TC Hafford Basement Systems will allow you to take back control of your crawl space and gain storage area necessary to declutter your home.

With water coming in and a bad sump pump, this crawl space needed some help, and TC Hafford Basement Systems was happy to provide it. System Design Specialist Ron Bedard went out to the Kennebunk home to design a system to fully encapsulate the space. The old sump pump was removed and replaced with a TripleCrawl Sump Pump System, and Drainage Matting was laid down. CleanSpace was installed, and the TripleCrawl was connected to an Exterior Discharge Line to direct water away from the house. Water is no longer a concern, and outside elements are no longer able to cause issues in the crawl space.
