Before & After Photos

In Sumner, Maine, a homeowner was dealing with constant water problems in their crawl space and basement. Concerned about rising moisture levels and potential damage, they contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. After assessing the situation, our team recommended installing CleanSpace, a reliable water barrier, to protect against moisture entering the crawl space. We also applied Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation to seal air gaps and enhance energy efficiency. The transformation was remarkable. Once plagued by water damage and high humidity, the crawl space is now dry and energy-efficient. The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome, knowing their home is better protected for the future.

Without air sealing an attic, hot air is still able to penetrate loose blown-in insulation, leading to higher energy bills and an uncomfortable home. This Topsham, ME, homeowner wanted to become more energy efficient, so they booked a free estimate with Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner and performed a Blower Door Test that showed room for improvement. Nima worked with the homeowner to design a Dr. Energy Saver system that would make their home more comfortable and energy efficient.

First the old insulation was removed, and the attic was air-sealed where needed with ZypFoam. Any areas that could leak air into the home were filled in and around the chimney. Next, SilverGlo was installed for added protection, and TruSoft Cellulose installation was blown in to reinsulate the area. TruSoft Cellulose is an environmentally friendly product made from recycled materials that are treated for fire resistance. Unlike typical fiberglass insulation that will melt when presented with a flame, TruSoft Cellulose insulation will resist the flame and won’t ignite. Now the homeowner not only has a more energy efficient home, but a more comfortable and safer home thanks to Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basement Systems.

This Arrowsic, ME, homeowner has lived in the home for over 30 years and has always had to deal with moisture in their crawl space. They noticed the problem getting worse in recent years, which raised their concerns about the issue. High moisture and humidity in a crawl space will lead to mold growth and eventually wood rot. Ready to take care of the issue and protect their home from damage, the homeowner booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid met with the homeowner and worked with them to design an encapsulation system that would keep the basement dry and protect the health of the home.

To fully encapsulate the crawl space, CleanSpace and Drainage Matting was installed to create an inorganic vapor barrier. Drainage Matting is a durable dimpled matting that is laid on the ground to create a gap between the dirt and CleanSpace. CleanSpace is constructed of a durable, 20-mil-thick, 7-layer polyethylene composition that’s reinforced by polyester cord. CleanSpace reduces moisture and humidity in the crawl space and helps to seal the area against cold drafts in the winter. CleanSpace bright white design helps to reflect light and illuminate the crawl space more, creating a perfect area for storage where the homeowners belongings will be safe. Now that the crawl space is fully encapsulated, the home is protected against moisture and mold and the homeowner can live in their home without having to be worried about their crawl space causing them anymore issues.

A homeowner in Mount Vernon, Maine, needed to have their house jacked up, and during this process, the insulation in their crawl space would require replacement. TC Hafford Basement Systems assessed the situation and recommended Dr. Energy Saver spray foam insulation for its superior energy efficiency and long-lasting performance. After completing the installation, the homeowner noticed an immediate difference in the comfort of their home, especially in the crawlspace. The insulation provided better coverage and protection from moisture, leaving the homeowner extremely satisfied with the results.

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.
