Crawlspace Encapsulation with CleanSpace in Rockport, ME

Challenge

A Rockport, ME homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to fix their crawlspace. The homeowner indicated the crawlspace was damp and dirty, and also housed their water system and furnace. Due to all of the moisture in the space, they were experiencing issues with corrosion of their water and furnace systems.

Solution

We encapsulated the crawlspace by installing CleanSpace with drainage matting. 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. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists and walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to help address the moisture issues.
