We helped homeowners in Bucksport, Maine with their dirt floor crawl space that was allowing water to easily seep in. Over time, moisture in a crawl space causes musty odors, mold, and wood rot, putting your home and indoor air quality at risk. We encapsulated this crawl space with CleanSpace vapor barrier, sealing water out. A SmartSump pumps groundwater away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The owners opted to go with the UltraSump batter backup pump to ensure the system runs in all conditions, even when the home loses power. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was also installed. Not only does it control the humidity to a healthy level, it also has a MERV 8 filter that removes allergens such as mold spores.
We helped homeowners in Brewer, Maine who wanted to insulate their cold crawl space. First we installed drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier to help seal out moisture and control the groundwater. Spray Foam insulation was then applied on the walls and along the rim joists. Spray Foam expands when it is applied, creating an air tight seal that can keep cold air out, while also being water and mold resistant. Spray Foam is a great long term option for below grade insulation!
We helped Brooksville, Maine homeowners turn their wet and musty smelling crawl space into a dry and usable space. We installed a SmartSump pump system to control the groundwater, pumping water away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. CleanSpace vapor barrier was installed to cover the walls and floor, sealing out moisture and preventing mold growth. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system was placed to control the humidity to a healthy level. The SaniDry has a MERV 8 filter that removes allergens from the air, reducing smelly odors.
For 24 years, this Orono, ME, crawl space has been damp and musty. Ready to fix the issues with their crawl space and protect their home, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes drove out to the home and worked with the homeowner to design an encapsulation system that would seal their basement up and keep moisture out.
To keep moisture out of the crawl space and get rid of the musty smell, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting needed to be installed. Drainage Matting is a tough, dimpled mat that creates a gap, protecting the CleanSpace and channels water to the low spot if a sump pump is installed. CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls and seals the space, protecting the crawl space from moisture and small critters that can otherwise cause damage. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed in the crawl space and connected to a Condensate Pump. The SaniDry Sedona keeps the humidity in the crawl space at a safe level, and with the addition of the Condensate Pump, the homeowner never has to worry about emptying a bucket of water, and the SaniDry will always run when it is needed to. Now, the homeowner is happy as their crawl space is no longer damp and causing a musty smell to penetrate through their floors.

Moisture was a problem in this Little Deer Isle, ME, home, leading to musty orders coming from the crawl space and making its way into the home. The homeowner was ready to take care of the issue at its source, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Alan Noyes worked with the homeowner to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would seal up the area and keep moisture out.
The crawl space was first regraded, and CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting gets laid down first to elevate the CleanSpace and with its dimpled design, Drainage Matting helps to channel any groundwater to a sump. CleanSpace was installed and attached to the crawl space walls to encapsulate the area. CleanSpace is an inorganic and durable vapor barrier that keeps moisture and small critters out while turning the crawl space into a perfect area for storage. A SmartSump liner was installed so if groundwater becomes an issue in the future, a sump pump can be easily installed without the need to disrupt the encapsulation system. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep the humidity at a safe level to prevent mold and musty smells. The SaniDry Sedona was installed with a Condensate pump, so the homeowner never needs to worry about emptying a bucket, and the SaniDry will always run when it needs to.
