Before & After Photos

Having recently removed some of the insulation below their home due to mold growth from moisture build up, this Bowdoin, ME homeowner was in the market for a proper vapor barrier. They contacted our office at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after they received their free estimate, the homeowner gave us the go-ahead to begin work on solving their moisture problem. As soon as our installation crew arrived at the home, their first task was laying a Drainage Matting across the dirt floor of the crawlspace. This mat rests just above the surface of the floor, creating channels for any blocked moisture to funnel toward the natural low point of the crawlspace where it can most easily drain back into the earth. Next, a CleanSpace liner was utilized to encapsulate the interior of the crawlspace. This bright white liner will completely lock out moisture leaking into the crawlspace, keeping the space dry while any blocked water flows through the Drainage Matting to exit back into the ground it entered through. This forms a complete vapor barrier to prevent moisture damage and mold from taking root below this home in the future.

This homeowner can now rest assured their crawlspace will remain dry throughout the year, keeping their home safe from water related damages. The CleanSpace barrier will hold back any leaking moisture for many years to come!

Brunswick, Maine homeowners wanted help encapsulating and insulating their crawl space, as well as evaluating if something could be done to help their creaking floors above. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, including drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. Spray Foam insulation will be added to the walls and rim joists to provide immediate energy efficiency improvements to the home. We also installed two SmartJacks to lift and level the creaking floors above.

Living with a regularly damp and rather unpleasant crawlspace below their home, this homeowner began to look into how they could resolve this issue. After consulting our team, they were setup with a full vapor barrier to clear the crawlspace of moisture and keep out future leaks. Now without any moisture to sustain itself, any musty smells due to mold growth will soon dissipate, leaving the homeowner with dry, healthy air in their home.

We helped improve an Orrs Island, Maine crawl space with our two-step encapsulation system. The crawl space had unsealed stone foundation walls, high moisture levels, and the homeowners wanted to add insulation. We first installed drainage matting on the floor to control groundwater. CleanSpace vapor barrier liner was installed on top of that, providing an encapsulated area that prevents mold growth and seals moisture out. Finally, Spray Foam insulation was installed on the walls and rim joists to add an air tight seal, immediately improving energy efficiency for the home.

We helped Harpswell, Maine homeowners encapsulate their damp, musty crawl space. We encapsulated the area with drainage matting and CleanSpace vapor barrier. CleanSpace is an inorganic material that prevents mold growth, while also sealing out any moisture. The homeowners were also interested in spray foam, so we installed Spray Foam insulation on the walls and rim joists. Spray Foam can easily get into the nooks and crannies, so it creates an air tight seal, and provides immediate energy efficiency improvements.
