We recently helped Birch Harbor, Maine homeowners repair their damp and musty crawl space. The dirt floors were allowing moisture to seep in, and as it sits stagnant mildew and mold can develop, creating musty smells. We encapsulated their crawl space with drainage matting and our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and is also treated to prevent mold growth. Additionally, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system that removes water from the air to keep the humidity at a controlled and healthy level. The SaniDry Sedona also has a MERV 8 filter that removes allergens from the air and eliminates musty odors.
Homeowners in Limestone, ME were having issues in their home resulting from the high humidity in their crawl space. We installed our two-step encapsulation system to address the failing crawl space. First we put down drainage matting to control the groundwater, and then we install CleanSpace vapor barrier to seal out moisture. A SmartSump pump was installed to remove groundwater. We also added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to filter the air and control the humidity level in the crawl space, which will help the home above.
Homeowners from Orient, Maine contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their damp and humid crawl space. They had an old plastic liner sitting on top of the dirt floor, but wanted to update the crawl space to a full encapsulation with a vapor barrier, and they were also interested in a dehumidifier. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, which includes drainage matting and a CleanSpace liner. Drainage matting helps control the groundwater, and the CleanSpace vapor barrier is installed on top to encapsulate the space, sealing out moisture. CleanSpace is an inorganic material so it has the added benefit of preventing mold growth. To address the humidity, we installed a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system. The SaniDry Sedona can remove 100 pints of water per day and keeps the crawl space at a healthy humidity level to avoid moisture problems.
Beals, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet and leaking basement. We poured a new slab along with slab WaterGuard around the perimeter of the basement. WaterGuard helps channel any water to the brand new TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup for protection if they lose power. The TripleSafe drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line that is protected against ice buildup with IceGuard. CleanSpace Wall System was installed to act as a vapor barrier where needed and channel any additional moisture from the walls to the WaterGuard. SprayFoam insulation was installed on the rim joists keeping cold air out during the winter, making the space more comfortable, and saving the homeowner money on their energy bill.
System Design Specialist Craig Z. met with a Vanceboro, ME homeowner to give a free estimate on repairing their leaky basement issues. We installed the BrightWall system which acts as a moisture and vapor barrier, and is easy to clean and never discolors. The BrightWall channels any moisture to WaterGuard which is installed around the perimeter of the basement, funneling water to a new TripleSafe sump pump. The TripleSafe features two Zoeller sumps and a battery-powered backup. It drains water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line. Lastly we added a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier which drains into the TripleSafe for easy water removal. Our homeowner has a new bright and dry basement!
