Before & After Photos

Dedham, ME homeowner needed help with moisture control for their bunkhouse crawlspace, so they reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist David Z. gave the owner a free estimate on the recommended repairs. Foreman Tyler L. 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 floors and seals up the crawl space, keeping moisture out.

In Eddington, ME, a homeowner reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after noticing water seeping through a vertical crack in their basement wall. Concerned about preserving their home's integrity and potential water damage, they contacted us for a long-lasting solution. Our System Design Specialist diagnosed an issue with the foundation wall needing a strategic waterproofing solution. Upon assessing the situation, our team designed a comprehensive plan integrating our proprietary products: BrightWall panels, SuperSump, and WaterGuard. The installation began with attaching BrightWall panels to the masonry wall, effectively stabilizing the interior and guiding any penetrated water downward. Protecting the space not only adds a line of defense but keeps the area bright and clean. Beneath the surface, we installed the WaterGuard system—a sub-floor perimeter drainage solution expertly designed to intercept water from walls and floors. Concealed under a neat concrete layer, WaterGuard provides effective drainage without obstructing the homeowners' use of their basement. Coupled with WaterGuard, the SuperSump system adds an additional layer of assurance. This reliable sump pump solution efficiently removes water away from the foundation using a 1/3 HP Zoeller pump and includes an alert system for optimal peace of mind. As a result, our customer now enjoys a safe, dry, and usable basement.

After putting a new addition onto their home, this Ellsworth, ME, homeowner has had issues with moisture in their crawl space. Not wanting to move on to other home improvement projects without fixing their crawl space, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems and scheduled a free estimate. System Design Specialist Mark Smith drove out and met with the homeowner to work with them on designing a crawl space encapsulation system.

First, TC Hafford removed the old plastic from the crawl space and laid down brand-new Drainage Matting. Drainage Matting features dimples that create a gap, allowing any groundwater to be channeled without causing any issues to the crawl space. CleanSpace is then laid on top of the Drainage Matting to create an inorganic barrier between outside elements and the crawl space. Finally, a SmartJack was installed to better support the floor above and remove any bounce the floor had.

Now the crawl space is encapsulated, and because of CleanSpace’s bright white color, light is reflected, resulting in a perfect storage area that is protected from critters, moisture, and any other outside element that could cause issues.

Moisture has wreaked havoc on this Bar Harbor, ME, crawl space, and the homeowner couldn’t let the issues continue, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Craig Ziegenbein worked with the homeowner to design a system that would seal their crawl space and keep humidity from causing damage and rotting out the wood.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was first installed to encapsulate the area and create a barrier between the outside elements and the crawl space. Drainage Matting is a durable, dimpled matting that creates a channel that allows ground water to flow to the sump pump and elevates the CleanSpace to protect it. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls to seal the crawl space from moisture and small critters. An UltraSump was installed to take the water from the area and pump it away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line and the sump system are protected from freezing during the winter with the installation of IceGuard. To finish the encapsulation system, the old and rotting crawl space entrance cover was replaced with a new EverLast Access Panel that keeps air and moisture from coming into the crawl space.

Now the homeowner is happy being able to use their crawl space for storage with moisture no longer affecting the health of their home.
