Your Trusted Union, ME Basement & Crawl Space Repair Contractors

A homeowner in Appleton, Maine, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems with concerns about their crawl space. The area had shown signs of instability and moisture, which prompted the need for a professional evaluation. Our team quickly responded, conducting a thorough assessment to identify the best course of action. Upon inspection, we recommended three key solutions. First, we proposed the SmartJack system to stabilize the crawl space and ensure long-term structural support. The adjustable steel posts would not only reinforce the floor above but also address the unevenness that was affecting the home’s overall foundation.

Second, we suggested installing the CleanSpace liner system, which is designed to keep moisture and humidity out of the crawl space. This durable liner acts as a vapor barrier, preventing water from seeping in and keeping the space dry and mold-free, which is essential for maintaining the health of the home. Finally, we recommended the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier, an energy-efficient solution that would help control the moisture levels in the air. By reducing humidity, the SaniDry Sedona would ensure a dry, healthy crawl space, free from mold and mildew.

After completing the installation, the homeowner was very satisfied with the results. The crawl space was now dry, structurally sound, and fully protected against future moisture issues. 

A homeowner that lived in Union, ME had been living with a slight moisture problem in their basement. Three cracks across the walls in their basement were allowing water from outside to easily leak in. Looking to have these cracks dealt with properly, the homeowner was soon referred to us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. After they received their free estimate, they decided to have us get the job done for them!

To keep these cracks from leaking water in the future, our installation crew utilized FlexiSpan to seal them for good. This began with the cracks being brushed clear by a coarse brush to help the sealant hold better. An initial layer of sealant was then applied to the cracks. To give the seals some flexibility and structure, foam mats were then placed over the sealant along the length of the cracks. Finally, another layer of sealant was applied over the top of the foam to complete the FlexiSpan seals. These FlexiSpan seals will keep water out even if the cracks contort over time.

This homeowner now can rest assured these cracks are no longer a source of a moisture problem beneath their home. Now that they've been properly sealed they should never leak again!
