Crawl Space Repair Photo Album: Crawl Space Encapsulation in Southport, Maine

This Southport, Maine, crawl space was originally unprotected, with a dirt floor that allowed moisture to seep in. The homeowner sought a long-term solution to eliminate dampness and protect their home from water damage. The TC Hafford Basement Systems team came out to encapsulate the crawl space by installing the CleanSpace liner, which creates a moisture barrier along the floor and walls. Paired with drainage matting and a SmartDrain system, the crawl space is now fully protected. The after photos show a bright, clean, and dry space that’s ready to stand up to the elements, and the homeowner was very pleased with how the project turned out.
