We installed SmartJack support posts in the customer's basement to stabilize and lift the sagging floor. First, we excavated small areas for the footings, poured concrete to create solid bases, and let them cure. Then, we placed the adjustable steel posts on the footings and secured them to the floor joists above. Finally, we adjusted the posts to provide the necessary support, leveling the floor and restoring stability.
Homeowners in Arundel, ME wanted help with their wet crawl space. Their old sump pump was not working properly and needed to be moved since it was not in the lowest spot of the floor, and they were interested in encapsulating the space as well. We jackhammered a new hole in the proper place for a brand new SmartSump pump system. Drainage matting was laid down on the floor, and then the space was encapsulated with CleanSpace vapor barrier. The final step in the process was installing SprayFoam insulation on the rim joists and walls to create an air tight seal and provide improved energy efficiency. The crawl space will now be dry and protected from mold or rot issues due to water.
Kennebunkport, ME homeowners wanted help with their wet crawl space so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. They knew if their crawl space continued to have water issues it could affect not only the air in their home, but also the structural integrity of their space. We used a three-prong system to waterproof the area, including the installation of a TripleSafe sump pump, SaniDry Sedona air system, and CleanSpace vapor barrier. The CleanSpace is installed with drainage matting to fully seal the crawl space, locking moisture out and preventing mold growth. Drainage matting helps channel ground water underneath the CleanSpace liner directly to the TripleSafe sump pump to be pumped away from the home. The SaniDry Sedona controls the humidity in the crawl space, and has a MERV 8 filter to take care of dust and mold spores.
Shortly after acquiring their new home in Kennebunkport, this homeowner needed a way to better protect their crawlspace from the often-damp surroundings. Our industry leading team at TC Hafford Basement Systems was able to provide the permanent solution this homeowner was looking for! Our crew was able to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace using a CleanSpace liner to keep out the unwanted moisture and brighten up the space. To capture moisture from the air and floor to remove it from the space, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed and connected to a SuperSump pump placed in the floor. This will eliminate the humidity in the crawlspace and keep the air dry in the future; all while pumping any collected moisture from the home through a discharge pipe.
Now this Kennebunkport, ME crawlspace has been transformed into a usable space for the new homeowner. The CleanSpace liner alongside the SaniDry & SuperSump systems will keep this crawlspace perfectly dry for many years to come!
Gorham, ME homeowners wanted help with insulating the crawl space at their camp, as well as keeping it water tight. We installed CleanSpace Wall System to seal up the old brick walls, as well as WaterGuard around the perimeter of the crawl space to channel any moisture to the TripleSafe sump pump. A SaniDry Sedona was added to purify the air and keep the humidity at a healthy level. SprayFoam insulation was added to help attached the CleanSpace Walls and provide energy savings.
