With a musty, dirt floor crawlspace below their home, this York, ME homeowner wanted to make use of the space for storage. They called us at TC Hafford and our crew was able to provide the barrier they were searching for. To keep out moisture and debris to allow for safe storage, a CleanSpace liner was used to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace after a Drainage Matting was laid across the floor. This will form a vapor barrier capable of keeping moisture out of the crawlspace interior while enabling any trapped moisture to drain back through the ground below. Next, Spray Foam was used to fill in gaps between the joists above the crawlspace. This will provide better insulation for the home and keep any temperature control within the home efficient.
Now that their crawlspace has been sealed off from the elements, this homeowner can make use of the space for storage without needing to worry about their property sustaining any long-term damage.
With up to 6 inches of water in their crawl space during heavy rains and no intentions to ever move, this Kennebunk homeowner refused to let their crawl space rain on their heads anymore. After calling TC Hafford Basement Systems, System Design Specialist Ron Bedard drove out to the home to meet with the owner. Looking to avoid mold and any home damage, Ron and the homeowner worked together to design a system that would take care of the needs of the home while meeting the homeowners’ expectations.
CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down and attached to the walls to act as a barrier, keeping outside elements outside where it won’t be a problem. Two Interior Discharge Lines are connected to two SuperSumps that will push any ground water outside through an exterior discharge line where it won’t be a problem. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona was installed in the crawl space to maintain safe humidity levels. The homeowner now can rest with peace of mind that they won’t have to worry about it raining in their crawl space anymore.
With water coming in and a bad sump pump, this crawl space needed some help, and TC Hafford Basement Systems was happy to provide it. System Design Specialist Ron Bedard went out to the Kennebunk home to design a system to fully encapsulate the space. The old sump pump was removed and replaced with a TripleCrawl Sump Pump System, and Drainage Matting was laid down. CleanSpace was installed, and the TripleCrawl was connected to an Exterior Discharge Line to direct water away from the house. Water is no longer a concern, and outside elements are no longer able to cause issues in the crawl space.
Before TC Hafford Basement Systems stepped in, the crawl space of this Kennebunk, ME home was a nightmare. The homeowner dealt with persistent humidity, musty odors, and occasional flooding. These issues made the space unusable, and the excess moisture threatened to cause long-term damage to the structure. The homeowner knew it was time to take action and contacted us for an inspection.
After evaluating the situation, our team installed CleanSpace vapor barrier and drainage matting to prevent water from seeping into the space. We also installed a SmartSump sump pump system, which not only efficiently removed water but also came with a backup UltraSump to ensure the pump continues even during power outages. IceGuard was attached to the exterior discharge line to safeguard against freezing conditions.
Now, the space is completely dry, odor-free, and the homeowner has peace of mind knowing their crawl space is fully protected from moisture year-round.
This Lovell, ME, homeowner is in the process of renovating their home, and to complete the renovation, they need to tackle their crawl space. Mold, rodents, and critters were a nuisance, and ready to take care of the issue and get rid of their unwanted guests, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system for their crawl space that would protect the health of the home and keep strange critters out.
To encapsulate the crawl space, CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier to keep the elements out. Spray foam is installed around the rim joist and walls to insulate and seal up the crawl space. Even though water is currently not an issue, the homeowner opted to install a Sump Liner. This allows for a quick and easy sump pump installation in case it is needed in the future. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed with a Condensate Pump so humidity is kept at a safe level, without the need to ever dump a bucket of water.
The crawl space is now encapsulated and protected from outside elements, and the homeowner can move on to the next step of their home renovation.
