A homeowner in Manchester, Maine, had been growing more and more concerned as they noticed water seeping through their basement walls. Unsure of how to fix the problem, they reached out to TC Hafford for help. After a thorough assessment, we installed Dr. Energy Saver foam insulation to create a lasting barrier against moisture. The difference was immediate. The once damp walls were now fully protected, and we added our SaniDry Dehumidifier to remove the previous excess moisture for a clean and dry basement. The homeowner was pleased with the transformation.
Before TC Hafford Basement Systems arrived, the homeowner in Thomaston, Maine, was facing significant structural and water issues in their basement. Water was consistently entering the basement, even on dry days. This was not just an inconvenience but a growing concern for the homeowner, as the structural integrity of the foundation and the persistent water problem needed immediate attention.
After our comprehensive assessment, we installed a WaterGuard system to collect and redirect water before it could enter the basement. A trench drain was added for maximum water capture, and the SuperSump Plus was installed to efficiently pump water away from the home. To further safeguard the basement, we applied the CleanSpace wall system, as well as Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation, which would aid preventing moisture from penetrating the foundation walls. IceGuard was integrated into the system to protect the sump pump discharge lines during freezing conditions. The homeowner was left extremely satisfied with a dry and secure basement, and peace of mind that their foundation was protected for the future.
This Winterport, ME, homeowner was looking to save money on their energy bill and have a more energy-efficient home. Their crawlspace wasn’t sealed, which allowed cold air to seep in, leading to higher heating bills. Wanting to take care of the issue and create a more comfortable home, the homeowner scheduled a free estimate with Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner, and they worked together to design a crawl space encapsulation system that would help them achieve a more energy-efficient home.
The space needed to be encapsulated to create an inorganic barrier between the outside elements and the crawl space. Drainage Matting was laid down, which features large, stiff dimples that create a gap. CleanSpace is laid on top of the Drainage Matting and attached to the walls. CleanSpace encapsulates the crawl space, and with the white coating, CleanSpace helps to brighten the area, making it ideal for storage. Finally, SprayFoam was installed around the rim joist and where necessary. Now the homeowner is able to live in a more comfortable home without having to continuously change their thermostat and while saving money on their energy bill.
A homeowner in Old Town, ME, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems to address cold drafts coming through the floor of their indoor porch. They wanted a solution that would improve comfort without disrupting the appearance of the space. Our team conducted a thorough assessment and determined that Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation would be the perfect fit for the job. We applied the spray foam to the underside of the porch flooring, creating a solid barrier to keep the cold out. After the installation, the homeowner noticed an immediate difference in temperature and was extremely pleased with how much warmer the space had become.
Dampness, rot, and rodents are not how you want to describe the conditions of your crawl space, but for this Hancock, ME homeowner, this is the reality. After owning the home for 15 years and looking to eventually make this their forever home, the homeowner called TC Hafford Basement Systems for help.
System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner and spent time in the crawl space to design a system that would meet the needs of the home and the expectations of the homeowner. This included removing the old insulation and debris so that the work could begin. CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was laid down to create an inorganic barrier that keeps the outside elements where they belong. Encapsulating the crawl space ensures that wind, moisture, and critters can’t cause damage to the home. Wanting to make sure the home stays energy efficient, Spray Foam was installed to seal and insulate the area. Finally, a CleanSpace Vent Cover was installed to fully encapsulate the crawl space.
The homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is protected from the elements and is more energy efficient, saving them money on their energy bill in the future.
