TC Hafford Basement Systems Before & After Photos

We helped homeowners in Mechanic Falls, Maine who had failing lally columns in their basement. The lally columns were rusting and the owners wanted to ensure the home had proper support. We installed SmartJacks, which are galvanized steel beams that can each hold 60,000 lbs of weight. We connected the SmartJacks to a new supplemental beam to help stabilize the home above. The zinc-coating on the steel protects the beams from rust so they will not have the same problem again. 

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.

When you go with the strongest gutter system in the world, you'll never worry about it sagging or pulling away from your home. Gutter Shutter's gutter guard system is guaranteed to never sag, clog, or pull away from your home, ensuring a fully functional gutter system forever. This unique and reinforced all-in-one system boasts .032 gauge aluminum that proves its quality will last a lifetime and protect your foundation from water intrusion and structural damages.

Since we cut gutters on site, Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford can fulfill all your gutter needs, whether you need a 5-foot gutter or a 100-foot gutter.

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.

We helped Windham, Maine homeowners to replace their old sump pump that had frozen and failed. We installed a TripleSafe sump pump, our top of the line pump system that has two Zoeller pumps, and an additional battery backup pump. The battery backup ensures the system keeps working even if the home loses power. The TripleSafe can remove over 6,000 gallons of water per hour if needed. The water is pumped away through an exterior buried discharge line that is protected with IceGuard to prevent the system from freezing up.
