Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

For several years, these homeowners have been dealing with a moldy, messy basement. In order to use the basement more efficiently, and resell the house easily in the future, they decided to call TC Hafford. Our team of professionals installed a waterproofing system to prevent future leaks, poured a brand new concrete floor, and installed our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system. A SaniDry Sedona will keep the humidity low to prevent future growth of mold as well. 

When this Peaks Island, ME homeowner noticed the musty smell coming from their crawlspace, there had already been a moisture problem for some time. Looking to have this remedied, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems, and we got our crew sent over to get the job done! To prevent future leakages from reaching the interior of the crawlspace, a Drainage Matting and CleanSpace liner were utilized to form a vapor barrier. This will brighten up the interior of the crawlspace and hold any moisture on the exterior of the space; allowing it to easily flow back out through the ground below. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed to eliminate any moisture still present in the space. This will ensure the crawlspace remains completely moisture-free for years down the road!

Living in an old home with an existing vapor barrier, this homeowner was surprised to find their crawlspace would still take on moisture from time to time. To remedy this, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to replace the old barrier with a new one. After removing the previous barrier, our crew encapsulated the interior of the crawlspace with a CleanSpace vapor barrier. To eliminate any moisture in the atmosphere of the space, a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier was installed alongside a Condensate Pump. Now any moisture in the space will be pulled in through the SaniDry and removed from the home through the discharge line leaving the Condensate Pump. Now that this crawlspace has been fitted with a brand-new vapor barrier, this homeowner can rest assured the space will remain moisture-free for the future!

For this Peaks Island, ME homeowner, their crawl space was an active nightmare. Their crawl space was home to musty odors, mold growth, and rodents, and the floors above were freezing during the winter. Tired of their crawl space troubles, the homeowner decided to take action and call TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. A System Design Specialist met with the homeowner for a free estimate and worked with them to design an encapsulation specifically for their crawl space.

This crawl space needed to be sealed and insulated to keep critters and cold air outside, where they belong. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was first installed to create an inorganic barrier between the crawl space and the ground. Drainage Matting has large dimples to create a gap, which allows groundwater to be channeled without penetrating the CleanSpace. Even though water is currently not an issue for the homeowner, they opted to have a Sump Liner installed. That way, if water becomes an issue in the future, a sump pump can be easily installed without the need to modify their encapsulation system. Spray Foam was applied to the crawl space walls to insulate the area and sprayed on the rim joist to lock in the CleanSpace and provide further insulation.

The homeowner's crawl space is fully encapsulated, and now that it is insulated, their floors won’t be cold in the winter, and any critter that called their crawl space home will no longer be a problem.

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.
