The homeowner called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate.

Gutter Shutter features a seamless design with a gutter guard for added protection, keeping the system clog-free and working all the time. Gutter guards prevent blockages created by a build-up of leaves, twigs, and any other debris that could fall on the homeowner’s roof. Keeping organic material out of the gutter also prevents a number of issues, such as mildew growth, rotting fascia, roof damage, and basement flooding. Gutter Shutter is formed and cut on location to the specific needs of the home. Since the gutters are cut on location, the gutters can be as long or short as necessary without the need to seam two gutters together, creating a unified product that is less susceptible to issues.

The homeowner no longer needs to climb a ladder and is protected with Gutter Shutter installed on their home.

First the old gutters were removed from the home, and instead of the homeowner having to worry about disposing of the old gutter, TC Hafford takes on the job of getting rid of them, so the finished job site is left clean. Gutter Shutter features a durable, six-inch aluminum construction that is formed and cut on site, resulting in a seamless gutter that is cut perfectly to the sections of the home that it is attached to. Gutter Shutter comes in many different colors, allowing the homeowner to pick the best match for their home. Once the new gutter is installed, the shutter can be attached to the top. The unique shutter design allows water to easily flow into the gutter without allowing in any debris such as leaves, pine needles, or even small critters. No debris means no clogs, and with Gutter Shutters larger size, more water is able to flow through the gutter, even during the winter months, preventing water from trickling over or icicles forming that could become dangerous. With Gutter Shutter done being installed, the homeowner is happier knowing that their home is more protected than before and they no longer have to worry about their old gutters causing them costly repairs to their home and landscape.

During heavy rainfall, this homeowner always found their basement would take on water through the concrete foundation. To put an end to this, they called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems and after we gave them a free estimate, they hired us to get the job done. Upon arriving at the home, our crew got started on installing WaterGuard piping around the perimeter of the floor, buried just below the surface. The WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking through the floor in the future and guide the captured water to the TripleSafe sump system installed in the floor. Lastly, a CleanSpace Wall System was put in place around the entire basement. This barrier will collect any water leaking through the walls and feed it directly into the WaterGuard below.

With a properly waterproofed basement, this homeowner will never again find their basement full of water after a heavy rain!
