Before & After Photos

Moisture has wreaked havoc on this Bar Harbor, ME, crawl space, and the homeowner couldn’t let the issues continue, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Craig Ziegenbein worked with the homeowner to design a system that would seal their crawl space and keep humidity from causing damage and rotting out the wood.

CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was first installed to encapsulate the area and create a barrier between the outside elements and the crawl space. Drainage Matting is a durable, dimpled matting that creates a channel that allows ground water to flow to the sump pump and elevates the CleanSpace to protect it. CleanSpace is an inorganic vapor barrier that gets attached to the walls to seal the crawl space from moisture and small critters. An UltraSump was installed to take the water from the area and pump it away from the home through a new Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Discharge line and the sump system are protected from freezing during the winter with the installation of IceGuard. To finish the encapsulation system, the old and rotting crawl space entrance cover was replaced with a new EverLast Access Panel that keeps air and moisture from coming into the crawl space.

Now the homeowner is happy being able to use their crawl space for storage with moisture no longer affecting the health of their home.

A buyer in Bar Harbor, ME faced issues with a wet crawl space causing serious moisture concerns, as seen in the before photo. This problem not only threatened structural integrity but also risked molding and increased energy costs. Our team at TC Hafford Basement Systems installed the proven CleanSpace encapsulation system to tackle these challenges. The sturdy 20-mil liner, reinforced and antimicrobial-treated, transformed the dank space into a dry and stable foundation. As shown in the after photo, our Bar Harbor client now has a secure crawl space and added protection against future moisture issues.

This Northeast Harbor, ME, summer home has had an issue with high moisture in it’s crawl space for the past couple of years. The homeowner was worried about mold coming into the living space, causing costly repairs and creating unhealthy living conditions for the family. The homeowner wanted to get the problem solved as fast as possible, so they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems.

The area was first prepped by regrading the ground to create a smooth base. The crawl space needed to be encapsulated to seal up the area and keep moisture out, so CleanSpace with Drainage Matting was installed. Drainage Matting was laid down to create a gap that allows water to be channeled to the sump pump and works to protect the CleanSpace. CleanSpace was installed on top of the Drainage Matting and was attached to the crawl space walls to seal up the area. CleanSpace is a durable vapor barrier that keeps moisture and critters out, reducing mold and creating the perfect space for storage. A Sump Liner was installed so a sump can be added in the future if needed without having to modify the encapsulation system. Finally, a SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier was installed, and with the addition of a Condensate Pump, the homeowner never has to go into the basement to empty a bucket and the humidity will be kept at a safe level year-round. The home is now fully protected against moisture, and the homeowner will no longer have to worry about mold-causing issues in their summer home.

Lastly, we put in a SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to address the high humidity issues in the space. The homeowners can now enjoy their new home without worrying about any water damage!
