Homeowners in Arrowsic, Maine had a crawl space that was half dirt floor and half concrete. The crawl space was constantly wet, as seen by the rusted pipes and beams. We encapsulated the crawl space by installing drainage matting to control the groundwater, and then our CleanSpace vapor barrier on top to seal out the moisture. Their home is now protected by keeping the crawl space dry.
Owners in Bath, Maine shared that their crawl space was very wet and they did not want to develop any mold or rot problems. We encapsulated their crawl space with our two step system, featuring drainage matting to control the groundwater and a CleanSpace vapor barrier liner on top. CleanSpace seals moisture out of the crawl space, keeping the wooden beams and floor joists protected from damage.
We helped homeowners in Bath, Maine to encapsulate their wet crawl space. The crawl space had no insulation and water was coming in, which can lead to larger structural problems for the home like mold or wood rot. We installed our two-step encapsulation which includes a layer of drainage matting followed by our CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and is treated to prevent mold growth. We also installed Spray Foam insulation on the walls and rim joists. Spray Foam immediately improves the energy efficiency of the home, and it is water resistant, making it a great option for crawl spaces.
We worked with a general contractor to encapsulate this damp crawl space in Saco, Maine. The general contractor was replacing rotted support beams that had been caused by the moisture in the crawl space. Dirt floors allow moisture to seep in, leading to big problems like mold and rot. We installed our two-step encapsulation system, consisting of a layer of drainage matting and a CleanSpace vapor barrier liner. CleanSpace seals out moisture, and is treated to prevent mold growth. We also installed a SmartSump and SaniDry Sedona. The SmartSump pump removes groundwater by pumping it away from the home through an exterior buried discharge line. The SaniDry Sedona is a high efficiency air system that both filters allergens from the air, while also controlling humidity. The SaniDry Sedona can remove over 100 pints of water from the air per day!
Buyers were under contract to purchase this West Bath, Maine home when a home inspection revealed water issues with the crawl space. They contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help evaluating the cause of the problem, and how to fix it. We encapsulated the crawl space with drainage matting on the floor to control groundwater, and CleanSpace vapor barrier on the floor and walls to seal out water. Spray Foam insulation was installed along the rim joists to help seal the CleanSpace, and provide energy efficiency improvements. Spray Foam insulation is also water and mold resistant, so it's a great product to utilize in below grade spaces.
