Before & After Photos

Open crawlspaces lead to the elements coming in and wrecking the health of a home leading to mold and cold floors. In worse cases, wood can begin to rot, leading to thousands and thousands of dollars in repair. Moldy crawlspaces can affect not only the health of the home but those living in the home as well. This Bartlett, NH homeowner was worried about the health of their family and wanted to take care of their Crawlspace as soon as possible, making sure the air they are breathing is fresh and clean.

System Design Specialist Sam Crowley met with the homeowner and put together a list of their goals, and together they designed a crawlspace system that would accomplish their goals. The system started with CleanSpace and drainage matting with Spray Foam on the rim joists. To make sure water wouldn’t be a problem, they put in a TripleCrawl Sump Pump System that is connected to an exterior, buried Discharge Line that takes the water way from the home. Mold was an issue in this crawlspace, so Sam and the homeowner opted to put in a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This ensures that humidity never gets to a point where mold will grow. Together they built this system and ensured the health of the home for the future.

Homeowner in Wolfeboro, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems with concerns about the walls in their basement garage. They had dealt with leaking for 25 years, coming from all walls during every rain, and over time causing some wall decay and crumbling. Our System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the homeowner to review a plan for repair. Our foreman Joshua Benton and installer Korey Sanborn completed the work, including CleanSpace, WaterGuard, and a SuperSump system. CleanSpace is a durable, bright white vapor barrier made of inorganic materials that seals up the area and keeps moisture out.  A SuperSump was installed to collect groundwater and pumps out of the basement and away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. Now the homeowner is able to relax knowing that their basement garage is protected and their home is more energy efficient.

This Middleton, NH, homeowner was dealing with musty smells coming from their crawl space, and the open dirt floor was leading to moisture issues. The homeowner knew they wanted a vapor barrier to be installed in their basement, so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the homeowner for a free estimate and worked with them to design a system to keep moisture out of their crawl space.

The first step in encapsulating the crawl space was to lay down CleanSpace with Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting is durable, and with the large dimpled design, a gap is created between the CleanSpace and outside elements. CleanSpaces bright white design helps reflect light, creating a more illuminated area that is perfect for storage. Encapsulating a crawl space benefits the area by keeping out moisture and critters, protecting the home, and creating a healthier environment. A Sump Liner was installed to make the installation of a sump pump easier in the future if it becomes necessary. To finish the encapsulation system, SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists to fully protect the home. Now that the crawl space is fully encapsulated, the homeowners’ worries are taken away, and the space that caused them concern is now a perfect area for storage.

A homeowner from Barrington, NH reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems because they were having issues with water getting into their basement, as well as having only a partial slab on the floor of the basement. The homeowner expressed they were wanting to install a sump pump and dehumidifier. Our System Design Specialist Rick Russell met with the owner to review their needs. We came up with a plan to regrade their current slab, as well as pour new concrete slab on the unfinished areas to create one continuous floor. To help keep moisture out we also installed CleanSpace with Drainage Matting and WaterGuard. 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. WaterGuard was installed around the space to capture groundwater and channel it to the new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe includes two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup pump to protect the homeowner during a power outage. The TripleSafe is connected to an Exterior Discharge line that takes the water far from the home and where it will no longer cause issues. A SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed to maintain a safe humidity level in the basement. The SaniDry drains directly to the TripleSafe, so the homeowner never needs to empty a bucket. Now that the homeowner's basement is fully waterproofed with a fresh smooth slab, the homeowner can use the space for storage without the risk of moisture getting in.

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.
