Looking for a way to prevent future leakages in their basement, this homeowner called us at TC Hafford Basement Systems. We set them up with a free estimate and they soon gave us the go ahead to begin work on their basement. Our installation crew began work on the basement by excavating a shallow trench into the perimeter in order to allow for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the floor. Hidden below a fresh layer of concrete, the WaterGuard will capture any moisture leaking in through the foundation in the future. This water is guided to the TripleSafe sump pump also installed within the floor. The TripleSafe system contains three pumps, two pumps for bulk water removal and one battery-operated pump for when the home is without power. The TripleSafe will force any collected water out of the home through a PVC discharge line. Equipped with IceGuard & LawnScape pipe segments, this discharge line is protected against ice build-up and debris blockages.
Now any moisture entering this basement through the foundation will flow through the WaterGuard piping directly into the TripleSafe pump for removal. This homeowner can now utilize their basement without needing to fear water-damage in the future!
With water constantly flooding into their basement during rainfall, this homeowner was looking to have their basement waterproofed as soon as possible. After receiving a free estimate from our sales representative, they hired us at TC Hafford Basement Systems to get the job done! The perimeter of the basement floor was excavated to make room for WaterGuard piping to be buried surrounding the basement. This new piping system will act as a low-pressure pocket to attract any leaking moisture before it reaches the surface of the floor from below the home. This trapped water is guided through the WaterGuard to the SuperSump pump freshly installed in the floor. Once in the sump, any water is forced from the home through a PVC discharge line protected by an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home.
With these systems implemented successfully and working together, this Mechanic Falls, ME home is now fully waterproofed. Now any leaking moisture will be pumped from the home before any accumulation occurs on the basement floor.
Without gutters, rain erodes away the soil next to your foundation. This gives the water the ability to seep into your foundation, leaving it vulnerable to cracking during freezing temperatures. A damaged foundation can also lead to flooding or weaken the strength of the foundation, which can lead to further problems in your home.

System Design Specialist Jeffrey Schuhmacher met with this Windham, ME homeowner to go over Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems and what they can do for the homeowner. During the free estimate, Jeff goes over the options we offer including different covers and colors that the gutters come in.

Gutters are necessary for protecting your home from a multitude of issues that could potentially damage not only the land around your home but the health of your foundation as well. Gutters protect your foundation by keeping water from pooling, leading to cracks and the weakening of the structural integrity of your foundation. Without gutters, your roof is susceptible to ice damage, and any landscaping around your home will be ruined.
This Windham, ME homeowner wanted to avoid these issues and protect their home and landscaping, so they called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems. System Design Specialist Jeff Schuhmacher met the homeowner at their home, and together they designed a gutter system that met the needs of the homeowner and the home. As you can see in the photos, even though the Gutter Shutter system uses a 6-inch gutter compared to the standard 5-inch gutter, we are able to handle more water while still blending in with the home, keeping the original vision for the home’s exterior design intact.
