The Problem of Not Having Gutters

Without gutters on your home, a mix of problems can arise that could eventually lead to costly damage, resulting in an unhealthy home. Water running off of your home's roof can lead to soil erosion, foundation damage, and eventually basement flooding, resulting in mold growth and damaged property. Clogged gutters can lead to even more damage, including water damage on your ceilings and walls. Knowing these issues and wanting to avoid any damage to their home, this Skowhegan, ME, homeowner called Gutter Shutter by TC Hafford Basement Systems for help.

System Design Specialist Josh Hamel met with the homeowner and worked with them to design a Gutter Shutter system that would provide protection and keep them safe, as they would never have to worry about cleaning any clogs. Gutter Shutter's unique design allows debris such as pine needles and leaves to slide off, only letting water into the system. The larger 6-inch gutter allows for more water to flow, and the tough shutter keeps the gutter safe from ice damage during the harsh Maine winter months. Gutter Shutter is available in multiple colors, giving the homeowner many options to choose from, whether they wish to pick gutters that blend into their home or use them as an accent that matches their window shutters.

The home is now protected, and the homeowner can rest easy knowing their home is safe from water damage and that they won’t have to climb a ladder to clean any clogs.
