Friendly Crawl Space & Concrete Leveling Contractor serving Wells, ME

Too little attic insulation and too much air leakage can waste a great deal of energy, leading to an uncomfortable home and higher energy bills. TruSoft Cellulose insulation reduces heating and cooling bills by as much as 32 percent (based on a study by The Leominster Housing Authority), meets and exceeds fire-resistance testing, and is a “green” product as the material contains 85 percent recycled paper that would otherwise end up in a landfill.

This Wells, ME, homeowner was ready to insulate their attic and save money on their energy bill, so they scheduled a free estimate with Dr. Energy Saver by TC Hafford Basment Systems. System Design Specialist Nima Farshid worked with the homeowner to design an energy-efficient system that would make their home healthier and more comfortable. First, their attic was sealed with ZypFoam where necessary and haft-inch Foamax. After the area was finished being sealed, TruSoft Cellulose insulation was blown into the space to insulate the attic and create a home that would be warmer in the winter and keep the AC in during the hot summer months.

A homeowner in Wells, Maine, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems for a gutter estimate, concerned about how to best protect their home from water damage. After visiting the property, our team thoroughly assessed the situation and determined that the most effective solution would be to install the full Gutter Shutter system. This setup included not only the Gutter Shutter itself but also a 3x4-inch downspout and a valley controller. The Gutter Shutter system is specifically designed to prevent clogging, ensuring water flows smoothly through the gutters even during heavy rainfall. The oversized 3x4-inch downspout further enhances the system’s efficiency by allowing a higher volume of water to be directed away from the home more quickly. This is especially important for homes in areas like Wells, where sudden downpours can cause traditional gutter systems to overflow, leading to potential basement leaks or foundation damage.

The valley controller plays a key role in managing the extra water that tends to accumulate in roof valleys. By controlling and directing this water flow, it ensures that the gutters are not overwhelmed, reducing the risk of water backing up and causing damage to the roof or exterior walls. Once the installation was completed, the homeowner was very satisfied with the final results. They appreciated the professionalism of the crew and the peace of mind that comes with knowing their home is now better protected from water damage. The new system requires minimal maintenance, leaving the homeowner confident in the long-term performance of their gutter system.

When a homeowner in Wells, Maine, reached out to TC Hafford Basement Systems, they were facing challenges with water management around their property. Without a robust gutter system, rainwater was washing away soil near the foundation and threatening the home's structural integrity. After discussing their concerns, the team conducted a thorough assessment, evaluating the property’s drainage needs to determine the best solution.

Upon inspection, we recommended a complete Gutter Shutter and Raindrop Gutter Guard system along with a landscape outlet. The Gutter Shutter system is specifically designed to handle the heaviest of rains and prevent debris from clogging the gutters, effectively eliminating the need for frequent maintenance.

Together, these elements provide seamless, reliable protection that directs water safely away from the home, preserving the foundation and surrounding landscape.

With this comprehensive solution in place, the homeowner now enjoys a reliable, low-maintenance gutter system that protects their investment and ensures peace of mind during Maine’s rainy seasons.

A homeowner in Wells would regularly gain moisture within their basement during heavy rains. This water seemed to enter through the walls and floor, as there was no other obvious entrance as far as the homeowner could tell. Needing a way to keep their basement dry, the homeowner searched for a solution. He soon found TC Hafford Basement Systems. He gave us a call and we dispatched a representative to take a look at the basement. We gave the homeowner a free estimate of cost and they selected what they wanted done. We sent in our crew and got to work!

We began by digging up the inside perimeter of the basement floor. This allowed us room to lay our WaterGuard piping system around the basement. Once in place, we covered it over with loose rocks and cement. This concealed it, without hindering functionality. The WaterGuard pipes will capture water as it tries to enter the basement through what is known as hydrostatic pressure. This is when there is enough water in the surrounding soil to force water in through even the cement foundation. Once captured by the WaterGuard, the water is guided out of the basement through a drain. Next, we installed a SaniDry XP dehumidifier. This will maintain a dry atmosphere within the basement by cycle through the damp air, removing any moisture.

With these two systems in place, this homeowner will have a dry, healthy basement for years to come!
