It's Raining in The Crawl Space

With up to 6 inches of water in their crawl space during heavy rains and no intentions to ever move, this Kennebunk homeowner refused to let their crawl space rain on their heads anymore. After calling TC Hafford Basement Systems, System Design Specialist Ron Bedard drove out to the home to meet with the owner. Looking to avoid mold and any home damage, Ron and the homeowner worked together to design a system that would take care of the needs of the home while meeting the homeowners’ expectations.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down and attached to the walls to act as a barrier, keeping outside elements outside where it won’t be a problem. Two Interior Discharge Lines are connected to two SuperSumps that will push any ground water outside through an exterior discharge line where it won’t be a problem. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed in the crawl space to maintain safe humidity levels. The homeowner now can rest with peace of mind that they won’t have to worry about it raining in their crawl space anymore.

1850's Crumbling Crawl Space Needs Help in Kennebunk, ME

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! 

Kennebunk, Maine Crawl Space Transformation

Before TC Hafford Basement Systems stepped in, the crawl space of this Kennebunk, ME home was a nightmare. The homeowner dealt with persistent humidity, musty odors, and occasional flooding. These issues made the space unusable, and the excess moisture threatened to cause long-term damage to the structure. The homeowner knew it was time to take action and contacted us for an inspection.

 

 

After evaluating the situation, our team installed CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting to prevent water from seeping into the space. We also installed a SmartSump sump pump system, which not only efficiently removed water but also came with a backup UltraSump to ensure the pump continues even during power outages. IceGuard was attached to the exterior discharge line to safeguard against freezing conditions.

 

Now, the space is completely dry, odor-free, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fully protected from moisture year-round.

Leaking Bulkhead Caused Waterlogged Crawl Space in Kennebunk, ME

Kennebunk, ME homeowners reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their leaking bulk head and wet crawl space. We first installed new bulk head doors to prevent future leaks in that space. To protect the crawl space, we encapsulated the area with CleanSpace and drainage matting. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that keeps moisture out and prevents mold growth. We also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry not only controls humidity in the space, it also filters out dust and mold spores. The air in your crawl space is the air you breathe in your home above, so the SaniDry keeps everything healthy. Lastly, there was an area where the floors above were sagging so we installed two SmartJacks, a galvanized steel post system providing immediate lift and support to the failing area.

Sealing Your Crawl Space and Supporting Your Floors

High moisture plagued this Paris, ME crawlspace, and concerned about mold growing, the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would encapsulate their crawlspace and protect their home from moisture.

 

 

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed to create an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and keep moisture and critters out. CleanSpace is attached to the rim joist with Spray Foam to ensure a complete seal. SmartJacks were installed to replace rusting and deteriorating supports to keep the floor above stable and remove any bounce that the floors once had. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at safe levels and connected to a Condensate Pump so the homeowner never has to worry about draining a bucket of water. Finally, a Smart Sump Liner was installed so a sump pump can be easily added in the future if the homeowner decides to. Now that the homeowner’s crawlspace is encapsulated, their goal of protecting their home is achieved, and they now have a safe area for storage.
