Before & After Photos

This Kennebunk, ME home was recently purchased, and the homeowner wanted to renovate the home and knew they needed to start in the crawl space. The crawl space had issues with water and moisture making its way in. This can lead to wood rot, mold, and eventually destroying anything that is stored in the area. The homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems and worked with System Design Specialist Ron Bedard to design an encapsulation system that would keep their basement dry.

The first step of encapsulating the crawl space was removing the old insulation and installing CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting is laid down first to create a barrier between the ground and CleanSpace, keeping it clean and channeling water to the new sump with its dimpled design. CleanSpace is a durable, bright white vapor barrier made of inorganic materials that seals up the area and keeps moisture and critters out of the crawl space. A SuperSump was installed to collect groundwater and pumps out of the crawl space and away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. To prevent ice buildup and keep the system running year-round, IceGuard was installed on the discharge line. The homeowner wanted their home to be more comfortable and energy efficient, so SprayFoam insulation was installed along the rim joists and wall surfaces. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed to keep the humidity at a safe level all of the time. Now the homeowner is able to move on with their renovation project knowing that their crawl space is protected and their home is more energy efficient.

Homeowners in Standish, Maine were ready to update and replace their old fiberglass attic insulation. They contacted our Dr. Energy Saver team at TC Hafford Basement Systems to help install TruSoft cellulose blown insulation. TruSoft is made of 85% recycled materials, and requires less manufacturing than fiberglass. It is also treated to be fire and mold resistant. It is easy to install, and can fill all of the nooks and crannies better than fiberglass insulation. These homeowners will enjoy improved energy efficiency!

A homeowner in Kennebunkport, Maine, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after an energy audit revealed that their home was losing significant heat through both the attic and basement. We installed Dr. Energy Saver spray foam in both areas, TrueSoft cellulose to insulate the attic floor, and Zip Foam for air sealing. The improvements resulted in a much more comfortable and energy-efficient home.

A Kennebunkport, ME homeowner contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for crawlspace help. Their old insulation was failing, it was consistently damp and falling away from the home. System Design Specialist Mike P. created a plan to remove the old fiberglass insulation to be replaced with SprayFoam Insulation on the rim joists and walls. SprayFoam acts as both an air and moisture barrier, filling hard to fit nooks and crannies to create and well buttoned up space. We also installed a SmartSump pump system to help with the removal of any water that may come through the floor. 

In Sumner, Maine, a homeowner was dealing with constant water problems in their crawl space and basement. Concerned about rising moisture levels and potential damage, they contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. After assessing the situation, our team recommended installing CleanSpace, a reliable water barrier, to protect against moisture entering the crawl space. We also applied Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation to seal air gaps and enhance energy efficiency. The transformation was remarkable. Once plagued by water damage and high humidity, the crawl space is now dry and energy-efficient. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome, knowing their home is better protected for the future.
