Before & After Photos

Homeowners in Southport, Maine reached out wanting to learn their options to waterproof and insulate the crawl space beneath their home. We recommended Spray Foam insulation for a few reasons - first, it expands as it is applied so it easily fills small gaps and cracks, creating an air tight seal. Spray Foam insulation is also water and mold resistant, making it a great option for crawl spaces. No more moldy and drooping fiberglass insulation! We also encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. A SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to control the humidity in the space, ensuring the air stays dry.

We recently installed our CleanSpace Drainage Matting in a customer's basement. This specialized matting is designed to create a gap between the floor and the mat, allowing water to flow freely underneath and directing it to a drainage system. This helps keep the basement dry by preventing water from pooling and reducing moisture buildup. It's an effective solution for managing water issues and maintaining a healthier, drier space.

Winslow, ME homeowners needed help with their crawl space so they called TC Hafford Basement Systems. Water would come into their crawl space, which had poor ventilation, and in turn caused moisture issues in the home above. They understood the importance of keeping their crawl space healthy to help the air throughout their entire home. We encapsulated the crawl space with our two-step process featuring CleanSpace liner and drainage matting. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that seals moisture out, and is an inorganic material so it prevents mold growth. We also installed a SaniDry Sedona which is a top of the line air system that can both control humidity, as well as filter out dust and mold spores to keep the air healthy. 

Homeowners in Boothbay, Maine recently reached out for help with repairing their wet crawl space. We installed our CleanSpace vapor barrier with drainage matting, which work together to control groundwater and seal moisture out of the crawl space. CleanSpace is an inorganic material, so the vapor barrier liner also prevents mold growth, keeping the crawl space protected and healthy. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the top of the crawl space walls and rim joists, providing immediate energy efficiency improvements for the home. The crawl space is now dry, healthy, and the owners can safely utilize the space without worry of water and mold damage.

This Newcastle, ME, crawl space was humid, moldy, and filled with mildew. Needing to address the issues and fix the sagging and bouncy floors, the homeowner decided to book a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems to fix the issues. System Design Specialist Jordan Tarbox met with the homeowner and worked with them to design an encapsulation and stabilizing system that would completely overhaul their crawl space and turn the space from a nightmare into the perfect place for storage.

First, the floors above needed to be stabilized to prevent walls from cracking and damaging the home. SmartJacks are made of galvanized steel and are capable of supporting the weight needed and have the ability to be adjusted over time if needed. Once the bouncy floor was addressed, encapsulating the crawl space and creating an inorganic barrier between the space and the outside elements was next. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down and attached to the walls with SprayFoam to ensure a tight seal. Drainage Matting is a durable matting with large dimples to create a channel for water to be directed to the low spot and helps to keep the CleanSpace elevated and clean. CleanSpace is a durable inorganic vapor barrier that protects crawl spaces from moisture and prevents critters from making their way into the area and causing damage. To help capture and channel water, Perforated Pipe was installed and connected to a TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe is capable of handling the water during heavy rains that would otherwise cause issues and pumps it out of the home through a Buried Discharge Line. The Discharge line takes the water far from the home, and with IceGuard installed, the system is protected from ice buildup during the cold winter months. Now that the home is protected from the outside elements, fully encapsulated, and the floor is stabilized, the homeowner can live in their home, knowing that their family will be safe and healthier.
