Homeowners in Rockland, Maine wanted to find out how to keep their basement more comfortable and less cold. System Design Specialist Kathryn D. provided a free estimate, recommending Spray Foam insulation. Spray Foam is typically applied on walls and along rim joists to seal out cold air. Spray Foam is also water and mold resistant, so it's a great choice to use in basements. Once applied, it provides immediate improvement to the home's energy efficiency.
Homeowners from Stetson, ME reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their challenging basement. The basement had ledge flooring and water was constantly seeping in. System Design Specialist Mark S. gave a free estimate for the needed repairs to waterproof the basement.
To fully encapsulate the area 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. SprayFoam was installed on the walls to insulate the area, keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill. Finishing out the full waterproofing system was the installation of a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier.
This Winterport, ME, homeowner was looking to save money on their energy bill and have a more energy-efficient home. Their crawlspace wasn’t sealed, which allowed cold air to seep in, leading to higher heating bills. Wanting to take care of the issue and create a more comfortable home, the homeowner scheduled a free estimate with Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner, and they worked together to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would help them achieve a more energy-efficient home.
The space needed to be encapsulated to create an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and the crawl space. Drainage Matting was laid down, which features large, stiff dimples that create a gap. CleanSpace is laid on top of the Drainage Matting and attached to the walls. CleanSpace encapsulates the crawl space, and with the white coating, CleanSpace helps to brighten the area, making it ideal for storage. Finally, SprayFoam was installed around the rim joist and where necessary. Now the homeowner is able to live in a more comfortable home without having to continuously change their thermostat and while saving money on their energy bill.
