Northern Basement Systems Before & After Photos

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In this Burlington, Vermont, home, the basement experienced ongoing water intrusion due to an outdated or failing slab that allowed moisture to enter along the perimeter and through the floor.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.

Before, this Burlington, Vermont foundation wall showed clear signs of structural stress, including cracked concrete blocks and movement along the lower section of the wall. Northern Basement Systems repaired the damaged area using the StableLock™ Wall System, creating a strong, reinforced concrete wall designed to permanently stabilize the foundation and protect the home from further wall movement.
