TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Without gutters, water from your roof can cause damage around your home and lead to flooding. With Gutter Shutter, you get the benefit of an oversized 6-inch gutter, with the added benefit of having a cover so you never need to climb a ladder and clean the gutter out.

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. Once the homeowner has a gutter that meets their needs, the job will be scheduled. At that point Gutter Shutter Foreman Sam and his crew will put these gutters up in no time without leaving any mess behind for the homeowner.

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.

Windham, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet basement. They have owned the home for nearly 50 years and had water getting in through multiple spots. System Design Specialist Thomas R. met with them to give a free estimate on improvements to keep their basement dry.

WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement and connected to a new SuperSump Plus system. WaterGuard captures and channels water to the SuperSump, which drains the water out of the basement and through an Exterior Buried Discharge line. The Exterior Buried Discharge line is protected against ice buildup in the winter with IceGuard. The basement is now protected against water leaks and the homeowners do not have to worry about their belongings being damaged by water.

We recently helped a Poland, Maine business owner lift and level their sunken concrete slab that had become a tripping hazard inside the store. With a nearly 3" drop the owner wanted to see what could be done to level the floor and keep their shop safe for customers. We used PolyLevel, an environmentally friendly injection that fills the voids underneath the slab to help lift and stabilize the concrete. We were able to lift the slab back to level, removing the tripping hazard.

Buckfield, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for help with their wet basement. We put together a comprehensive plan to waterproof their space so it would be dry and usable. First, we installed drainage matting on the floor and poured a new concrete slab. WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to channel water to the new TripleSafe sump pump. CleanSpace Wall system was installed on the basement walls as a vapor barrier to seal out moisture and prevent mold growth. Lastly, we added a SaniDry Sedona high efficiency air system to control the humidity and filter out dust and mold spores.
