Insulation Services Before & After Photos

A homeowner in Mount Vernon, Maine, needed to have their house jacked up, and during this process, the insulation in their crawl space would require replacement. TC Hafford Basement Systems assessed the situation and recommended Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation for its superior energy efficiency and long-lasting performance. After completing the installation, the homeowner noticed an immediate difference in the comfort of their home, especially in the crawlspace. The insulation provided better coverage and protection from moisture, leaving the homeowner extremely satisfied with the results.

Without air sealing an attic, hot air is still able to penetrate loose blown-in insulation, leading to higher energy bills and an uncomfortable home. This Topsham, ME, homeowner wanted to become more energy efficient, so they booked a free estimate with Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner and performed a Blower Door Test that showed room for improvement. Nima worked with the homeowner to design a Dr. Energy Saver system that would make their home more comfortable and energy efficient.

First the old insulation was removed, and the attic was air-sealed where needed with ZypFoam. Any areas that could leak air into the home were filled in and around the chimney. Next, TruSoft Cellulose installation was blown in to reinsulate the area. TruSoft Cellulose is an environmentally friendly product made from recycled materials that are treated for fire resistance. Unlike typical fiberglass insulation that will melt when presented with a flame, TruSoft Cellulose insulation will resist the flame and won’t ignite. Now the homeowner not only has a more energy efficient home, but a more comfortable and safer home thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems.

A homeowner in Manchester, Maine, had been growing more and more concerned as they noticed water seeping through their basement walls. Unsure of how to fix the problem, they reached out to TC Hafford for help. After a thorough assessment, we installed Dr. Energy Saver foam insulation to create a lasting barrier against moisture. The difference was immediate. The once damp walls were now fully protected, and we added our SaniDry Dehumidifier to remove the previous excess moisture for a clean and dry basement. The homeowner was pleased with the transformation. 

Farmingdale, ME homeowners had finished their basement only to find it was constantly cold and drafty. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems to insulate the space and take advantage of the state's energy rebates. System Design Specialist Josh H. helped guide them through the right solution to insulate their basement. We installed SprayFoam Insulation to keep the space air tight and moisture free. Now our homeowners can truly relax and enjoy the finished basement area.

This crawl space in Bath, ME, was giving the homeowner a laundry list of issues that were causing them to spend money on costly repairs. Concerned about the water in their crawl space and pipes freezing during the winter months, this homeowner decided to take action and book a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nick Ciciarelli worked with the homeowner to design a complete encapsulation system that would take care of the dirt floor, drafty walls, and the water coming into their basement.

The area was regraded, and Drainage Matting was laid on the ground to create an inorganic barrier between the dirt and the new Slab that needed to be poured. Before the new Slab could be poured, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter to catch and channel water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump with Battery Backup. The water has to go somewhere, so the TripleSafe is connected to an Exterior Buried Discharge that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard installed. With the crawl space waterproofed, the new Slab was able to be poured, and SprayFoam was installed along the rim joists and walls where needed to insulate the crawl space and protect the pipes underneath the home from freezing. The last step in setting up this crawl space for success was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier that drains directly to the TripleSafe so the homeowner never has to empty a bucket and the crawl space stays at a safe humidity level all the time.

Now the homeowner is happy knowing their crawl space is no longer a nightmare and their home and family will be safer and healthier.
