Your Trusted Oxford, ME Basement & Crawl Space Repair Contractors

A homeowner in Oxford, Maine, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems after noticing uncomfortable temperature swings in their home, especially during the winter months. The homeowner wanted to improve the overall insulation of their attic, which was causing the cold to seep into the living areas.

Our team came out to assess the situation and discovered that the attic’s insulation was not only outdated but also insufficient to keep the home energy efficient. After evaluating the homeowner's needs, we recommended a solution that involved installing Dr. Energy Saver spray foam and Zip Foam for maximum insulation coverage. We also added TrueSoft cellulose to the attic floor to provide even more thermal protection and prevent air leakage. The combination of these products would help create a well-insulated barrier, ensuring that the homeowner could enjoy a more comfortable home all year round.

A homeowner living in Oxford, ME had noticed their basement becoming unusually damp. They soon found the cuase of the problem being a crack that had opened along one of the walls of the basement. Having heard of us on their TV, they quickly called us to have the issue taken care of before it got worse.

As soon as our crew arrived at the home, they began work on sealing the crack using FlexiSpan. First, a coarse brush was used to clear the crack of any debris that would interfere with the sealant. Next, the first layer of sealant was applied within the crack. This was then covered with a foam matting that will act as the backbone of the FlexiSpan seal. Finally, a second layer of sealant was spread over the foam to lock the structure in place over the crack. Now this crack will no longer leak water into this basement!

With the crack in their basement wall selaed properly, this homeowner won't suffer from a damp basement any more. The FlexiSpan will prevent any leaks that would have otherwise entered through this crack.
