WaterGuard Piping Helps Keep Arundel, ME Crawlspace Water-Free

With a musty crawlspace beneath their home, this Arundel, ME homeowner knew they wanted to have something done about it. Unsure how to approach the problem on their own, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to waterproof the space! We quickly got to work pouring a fresh slab of concrete over a newly installed CleanSpace vapor barrier. WaterGuard piping was installed around the perimeter of the crawlspace, beneath the surface of the concrete. The WaterGuard will take in any moisture that might leak in through the floor. This water will be forced out of the home by a nearby TripleSafe sump system. With all these new protections in place, this homeowner will very shortly notice their moisture problem become a thing of the past!

CleanSpace Encapsulation Protects Kennebunkport, ME Crawlspace from the Elements

Shortly after acquiring their new home in Kennebunkport, this homeowner needed a way to better protect their crawlspace from the often-damp surroundings. Our industry leading team at TC Hafford Basement Systems was able to provide the permanent solution this homeowner was looking for! Our crew was able to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace using a CleanSpace liner to keep out the unwanted moisture and brighten up the space. To capture moisture from the air and floor to remove it from the space, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed and connected to a SuperSump pump placed in the floor. This will eliminate the humidity in the crawlspace and keep the air dry in the future; all while pumping any collected moisture from the home through a discharge pipe.

Now this Kennebunkport, ME crawlspace has been transformed into a usable space for the new homeowner. The CleanSpace liner alongside the SaniDry & SuperSump systems will keep this crawlspace perfectly dry for many years to come!

Musty Crawl Space BE GONE!

A Bridgton, ME homeowner has lived in their home for over 40 years and noticed signs that their crawl space needed some help. Musty smells and signs of damage began to raise concerns, so the homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to get help protecting the health and resale value of their home.

System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner to address the issues in the crawl space. The homeowner also wanted to address the issue of cold floors in the winter and groundwater seeping into the crawl space. A system was designed specifically for this crawl space, and Foreman Joshua and his crew installed it. They started by regrading the dirt floor to ensure a level ground, then laid CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Power Braces were installed to stabilize the walls, and spray foam was used to help encapsulate the crawl space, keeping outside elements outside. Finally, a Smart Sump was installed and connected to an exterior Discharge Line that was buried so it would be out of sight and could carry any water far from the home, where it would no longer pose an issue.

Is Your Living Room Turning Into A Bounce House?

Have you ever walked into a room of your home and felt the floor bounce? What about cracks in the walls? Along with cracked tiles and uneven spaces under baseboards, these are all signs that your home’s floor is sagging and that structural issues are developing. This Saco, Maine homeowner noticed these issues and wanted to take care of the problem as soon as possible. System Design Specialist Brian Donnelly worked with the homeowner to rectify the issue and protect their home from any further damage. They worked together to create a solution that would fix the sagging issues and protect the crawl space from outside elements.

 

To address the sagging floors, SmartJacks were installed with a Steel Supplemental Beam. SmartJacks replaced the current supports, as seen in the photos. The homeowner opted to encapsulate the crawl space with CleanSpace and Spray Foam. With the system installed, outside elements are kept out, and the crawl space can be used for storage without the fear of moisture causing any damage. Groundwater will be removed by the installed SmartSump and taken out of the crawl space through a buried discharge line. To round out the system, the homeowner also decided to purchase a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier to keep humidity at a safe level, meaning they will have peace of mind moving forward, knowing that their crawl space is protected and the structural integrity of their home is intact.
