Northern Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Previously, this Goshen, New Hampshire, crawl space was open to the earth, allowing moisture to accumulate and create a damp, unstable environment beneath the home. The homeowner had started to notice uneven floors above, along with ongoing humidity concerns that made the space unreliable. After installing a full encapsulation system with a durable vapor barrier and integrating a SmartJack support system, the crawl space was transformed into a dry, controlled, and structurally supported area. The floors above are now stable, and the home benefits from a healthier, more dependable foundation.

When a homeowner in Stoddard, New Hampshire, wanted to waterproof the home's basement area, they hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

This Nelson, New Hampshire homeowner wanted to improve the condition and appearance of an older basement crawl space area with exposed stone and brick foundation walls. The space felt dark, unfinished, and vulnerable to moisture intrusion through the aging foundation surfaces. Our team installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system along the walls and the lower foundation area to help create a cleaner, brighter, and better-protected environment beneath the home. The transformation dramatically improved both the appearance and overall condition of the space.

In Brownington, Vermont, near the Orleans area, this crawl space was experiencing severe water intrusion, with standing water covering large portions of the ground and creating an extremely damp, unusable environment beneath the home. Like many properties in Orleans County, groundwater buildup had nowhere to go, allowing conditions to worsen over time and impact the space below the home. After installing a sump pump system with an IceGuard® discharge line and LawnScape™ outlet, the crawl space is now protected by a reliable system that actively removes water and prevents future buildup. What was once a saturated, water-filled space is now controlled and properly managed, giving the homeowner in the Brownington/Orleans area confidence that water intrusion is no longer an ongoing issue.

This crawl space in Newbury, Vermont, was in poor condition, with exposed ground, debris, and visible moisture throughout. After a full crawl space encapsulation with drainage matting and a durable vapor barrier, the area is now clean, covered, and better protected from ground moisture, creating a more stable environment beneath the home.
