Before & After Photos

When the homeowner in Appleton, Maine, first contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems, their crawl space was a major concern. They had noticed uneven floors and signs of moisture buildup, which could lead to long-term damage if not addressed. The crawl space had no moisture barrier in place, and the support beams were beginning to weaken under the strain. Without proper protection, the space was prone to mold growth and structural instability, making the home’s foundation vulnerable.

Following our comprehensive evaluation, we installed a SmartJack system, providing the essential support to stabilize the floor above and correct the unevenness that had been a source of worry. Next, we fitted the CleanSpace liner system, which sealed off the crawl space from outside moisture, ensuring a dry and healthy environment. Finally, the installation of the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier guaranteed that humidity levels would stay low, keeping the crawl space mold-free and well-protected.

The transformation was remarkable. What was once an unstable and damp space became a solid, dry, and secure foundation for the home. The homeowner was greatly satisfied with the end result, knowing that their crawl space was not only stabilized but fully protected against future issues.

Homeowners in Freedom, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after being highly recommended by their neighbors. Their crawl space needed sealing to protect against water intrusion and damage. We installed our two-step encapsulation system with drainage matting and a CleanSpace liner. Drainage matting helps channel groundwater underneath the CleanSpace liner directly to the new SmartSump with UltraSump battery back up. The SmartSump pumps water away from the home so it will not cause any damage. The CleanSpace liner seals water out, and is an inorganic material that prevents mold growth within the crawl space. 

This Corinna, ME homeowner had a crawlspace below their home without any form of moisture protection. This led to them experiencing a musty smell coming from the space as the dampness worsened over time. Wanting something done about this, the homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got right to work! To begin the process of properly waterproofing the space below this home, the dirt floor of the crawlspace was graded until it was flat. Next, to provide a moisture barrier a Drainage matting was laid across the floor and a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace. This formed a water-tight seal to prevent future moisture from leaking into and persisting within the crawlspace. A TripleSafe sump pump was then installed in the floor of the space. This pump will remove any moisture collected beneath the home and force it out of the home through a discharge line fitted with an IceGuard protective pipe. This pipe then terminates through a LawnScape port where the water can harmlessly drain back into the ground a distance from the home.

With their now-waterproof crawlspace, this homeowner should no longer suffer from a musty smell in their home caused by excess moisture. Any water gathering below the home will be swiftly pumped outside where it will stay!

Etna, ME homeowners wanted help with their cold, musty, and damp crawlspace that had dirt floors. System Design Specialist Craig Z. from TC Hafford Basement Systems met with the homeowners to give a free estimate on encapsulating their crawlspace to keep it protected. 

First we prepped the space by removing the old plastic liner. To fully encapsulate the crawlspace and keep moisture and critters out, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. 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 insulation was added to the walls and rim joists as an added layer of protection, offering an air tight seal and preventing moisture from entering the crawlspace. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona air purifier and dehumidifier. The homeowner is able to enjoy their home with better air quality and without having to worry about water in their crawlspace.

After moving into their new home, this homeowner was looking to do some renovations. Before they got started, however, they wanted to ensure the crawlspace below their home would remain moisture-free in the future to protect the renovations. They called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after receiving their free estimate, they hired us to get started on a vapor barrier installation. Our crew began work on the crawlspace by leveling the floor using crushed stone. Once level, a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor of the space and a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace. Between the CleanSpace and the dirt floor, the Drainage Matting rests just above the ground and creates channels for which any blocked moisture can flow through to drain back into the ground below. The CleanSpace liner itself forms a barrier to completely lock out outside moisture, preventing future accumulation on the interior of this crawlspace floor. Finally, a SmartSump pump was installed in the floor of the crawlspace, to intake any blocked water and force it out of the home through a discharge line.

With a proper vapor barrier protecting their crawlspace, this homeowner is now confident they can move forward with their home renovations without fearing future moisture damage. The CleanSpace vapor barrier will maintain a dry crawlspace below this home for years to come!
