Before & After Photos

Looking to keep moisture from the ground out of the crawlspace below their home, this homeowner living in Winter Harbor, ME contacted our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems. Once they received their free estimate, they were ready to have us get started on the job right away. To keep out any and all moisture, a vapor barrier needed to be put in place below this home. This began with a Drainage Matting laid across the floors surface followed by a CleanSpace liner encapsulation. These layers form a water-tight barrier to keep out moisture entering through the earth under the home, protecting the home from long-term damage caused by accumulating water.

With a proper vapor barrier protecting their crawlspace, this homeowner can rest assured no water-problems will take root below their home in the future. The CleanSpace liner will keep out any moisture that might have otherwise gathered in the crawlspace from rainfall or melting snow.

This Eastport, ME, homeowner was worried that their damp and musty crawl space would eventually lead to health issues if the problem wasn’t solved. With no plan of moving or selling the home, the homeowner also wanted to address the problem of the floors above the crawl space being cold in the winter months. The homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help, and System Design Specialist Craig Ziegenbein met with the homeowner for a free estimate.

Craig worked with the homeowner to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would surpass the expectations of the homeowner and protect the health of the home and their family. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down and attached to the walls to encapsulate the space, creating an inorganic barrier to protect from moisture and outside elements. A SmartSump was installed to pump groundwater out of the space and through an Exterior Buried Discharge Line. A SmartJack was installed to provide additional support to the floor above, and to finish the system, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to keep humidity at a safe level. Having to regularly empty out a dehumidifier bucket can be annoying, so to prevent the homeowner from having to check often, the SaniDry Sedona is connected to the SmartSump, ensuring all water is pumped out of the crawl space and no bucket ever has to be emptied.

The crawl space is now fully encapsulated, and the homeowner can live and enjoy their home without the concern of a damp and musty crawl space affecting the health of their family and home.

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 homeowner in Scarborough, ME wanted to address inefficiency in their basement, particularly the walls, which seemed to allow drafts into the home.

We applied the foam throughout the basement walls, and the results were outstanding. The insulation made a noticeable difference, sealing in warmth and preventing air from escaping. The customer was very pleased with how smoothly the process went and how much more comfortable their home felt after the installation was complete.

When a customer in Falmouth, Maine, noticed water seeping into their crawl space, they called TC Hafford for an expert assessment. Our thorough inspection revealed moisture buildup that could lead to long-term damage. We quickly addressed the problem by installing a CleanSpace liner, which prevents water vapor from entering the space, and drainage matting to manage water flow beneath the liner. Dr. Energy Saver spray foam was applied to further insulate and seal the area, while IceGuard provided protection against potential freeze-related damage. The homeowner was relieved by the comprehensive solution and was very satisfied with the transformed crawl space, confident that their home was now safeguarded against future moisture problems.
