Before & After Photos

Homeowners from Southport, ME wanted help controlling the moisture problem in their basement. System Design Specialist Louis D. from TC Hafford Basement Systems gave the homeowners a free estimate on the needed improvements.

We installed CleanSpace with drainage matting. 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. A SuperSump pump system was also installed, with an exterior buried discharge line to remove any water away from the home. The discharge line is protected with IceGuard from freezing up in the winter. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona air purification system was added to keep the air healthy from dust and mold spores, as well as control the moisture in the space.

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. 

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.

Jefferson, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their crawl space. The crawl space had a dirt floor, along with moisture problems that were causing the floors above to sag in one corner. To address the sagging floors we installed SmartJacks, a steel post system that is custom fit to immediately lift and level the floors above, providing proper support to failing beams and floor joists. To waterproof the crawl space, we installed our two-step encapsulation system with CleanSpace and drainage matting. SprayFoam was installed on the rim joists to create an air and moisture tight seal. Lastly, a SaniDry Sedona air system was added to control the humidity in the space, as well as filter out dust and mold spores.
