Portland, ME Home Seeking New Gutters

After growing tired of their unsightly gutters, this Portland, ME, homeowner was ready for a change, so they called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate. System Design Specialist Josh Hamel met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a Gutter Shutter system that would protect the home and surpass their expectations. Gutter Shutter is formed and cut on the property, so the homeowner is able to enjoy the benefits of a seamless gutter. With the added protection of the unique shutter design, debris such as leaves and pine needles aren’t able to make it into the gutter, meaning the homeowner will no longer have to worry about climbing a ladder to clear any clogs. Gutter Shutter comes in many different colors, allowing homeowners to match the gutter to their home. Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems not only removes the old gutters but also disposes of them to save the homeowner the headache of having to do so. Now, with the larger six-inch Gutter Shutter system installed, the home is protected from the troubles that rainwater falling off a roof can cause, such as soil erosion, basement leaks, and foundation damage.

It seems a shame to have to put unsightly gutters on a beautiful home, but with Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems, that isn’t a problem. Gutter Shutter offers many colors to choose from, allowing a homeowner to pick a gutter that best suits what they are looking for. Made in the USA, Gutter Shutter is a seamless aluminum gutter that features a unique shutter that allows water in but debris such as leaves and pine needles to slide off, resulting in a clog-free gutter design. Tougher than the average gutter, Gutter Shutter can handle the harsh Maine winters, and ice buildup is not a concern.

 

Wanting to protect their home from water running off of their roof, this Portland, ME, homeowner reached out to Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate.

The homeowner was able to choose a color that would blend into their home and still get the benefits of having a larger six-inch gutter. Without gutters, water running off a home’s roof will erode the soul and can lead to foundation damage and basement flooding if the problem goes on too long.

StableLock Prevents Portland, ME Foundation From Caving In

Since 2012, this Portland, ME, homeowner has had a problem with their foundation shifting and moisture in the basement creating a musty smell. Worried about air quality and the health of their home, they booked a free estimate with TC Hafford Basement Systems for help. System Design Specialist Lou DiStasio met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a system that would save their home and create a safter basement.

 

The shifting foundation needed to be addressed first, and to take care of it, StableLock was installed to save the foundation. Over time, stone foundations break apart and shift, resulting in an unstable home and sinking floors that could ultimately result in the foundation totally failing. Typically, with a failing foundation, the home would need to be lifted for a period of time in order for the old foundation to be removed and a new one poured. With StableLock, not only do homeowners save money, but they don’t have to move out of their house, and SableLock can be completed in just a few days. StableLock fills the voids in the old wall and uses modern concrete forming and shoring methods to stabilize the old wall, leaving a new, smooth foundation wall. With StableLock installed and the foundation stabilized, the next step was to address the moisture issues of the basement. To maintain a safe level of humidity and prevent mold and musty smells, a SaniDry Sedona was installed with a Condensate Pump so the homeowner won’t have to ever empty a bucket of water. Not only does this keep the SaniDry Sedona running as needed, but the homeowner can travel without concern of their dehumidifier not working. Now the home is protected against moisture, and their foundation is no longer at risk of failing and is stronger than before.

Continual Flooding in Portland, ME Basement

Portland, ME homeowners contacted TC Hafford Basement Systems for a free estimate to waterproof their basement. They were dealing with continual flooding issues and were tired of having to clean up a wet mess. System Design Specialist Stephen C. helped them come up with the best plan to address their water woes.

 

We installed CleanSpace Wall System which acts as a vapor barrier to keep moisture out. The CleanSpace connects to WaterGuard to help channel any water to the SuperSump Plus system. The SuperSump removes water from the basement through an exterior buried discharge line away from the home. 

Portland, ME Basement Receives Much Needed Sump Upgrade

After living in their Portland, ME home for three years, this homeowner decided it was time they upgraded from the small sump they got from a hardware store when they moved in. Our crew got to work on their basement by rounding out the existing sump hole and installing a SuperSump system in the floor. This new pump will output at a rate of over 2,600 gallons of water per hour. This water exits the basement through a PVC discharge line where it passes through an IceGuard pipe segment on the exterior of the home. Now the homeowner can be sure their sump will keep their basement floor dry during exceptionally heavy rainfall.
