With a musty, dirt floor crawlspace below their home, this York, ME homeowner wanted to make use of the space for storage. They called us at TC Hafford and our crew was able to provide the barrier they were searching for. To keep out moisture and debris to allow for safe storage, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace after a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor. This will form a vapor barrier capable of keeping moisture out of the crawlspace interior while enabling any trapped moisture to drain back through the ground below. Next, Spray Foam was used to fill in gaps between the joists above the crawlspace. This will provide better insulation for the home and keep any temperature control within the home efficient.
Now that their crawlspace has been sealed off from the elements, this homeowner can make use of the space for storage without needing to worry about their property sustaining any long-term damage.
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.
Kennebunk, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems when they realized some of the brick supports in their crawl space were crumbling. The home was built in the 1850's and needed help stabilizing the area. We protected the crawl space from water by encapsulating it with CleanSpace and drainage matting. We also installed a SmartSump pump to remove any moisture out of the crawl space. SmartJacks were added to stabilize the crawlspace in the event that the original brick support columns continued to fail. The home is now safe and secure, and dry to boot!
