When a Burlington, Vermont, homeowner sought a solution for a cracked basement floor allowing water intrusion, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
When a Burlington, Vermont, homeowner wanted to both waterproof and insulate their basement, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
In this Burlington, Vermont, home, the basement experienced ongoing water intrusion due to an outdated or failing slab that allowed moisture to enter along the perimeter and through the floor. Without a proper system beneath the surface, water had no controlled path, leading to damp conditions and an unreliable space that couldn’t be fully utilized.
Before pouring a new slab, a full interior waterproofing system was installed beneath the floor, including a perimeter drainage system designed to capture water and direct it to a sump pump for discharge. Once the system was in place, a new concrete slab was poured on top, creating a clean, durable surface while keeping the waterproofing system hidden and fully functional beneath. The result is a dry, stable basement with a long-term solution built directly into the foundation.
The homeowners in Burlington, Vermont started to notice over the years that cracks had developed throughout the house in different areas. In some places, the molding had completely separated from the ceiling. This made them very concerned with what was happening to their home. Through diligent research, they found that Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems was by far the most reputable and reliable company to service them.
After an inspection from one of Northern Basements System Design Specialist and an Engineer, they found that the house had in fact sunk up to 1 3/4 inches in some places on the foundation. To fix the problem the team installed 119 Slab piers and poly level raising the floor back to a level position. When the team finished raising the slab you could clearly see that the molding had sealed up tight to the ceiling.
