Crawl Space Waterproofing in Brownington, Vermont (Orleans County) | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A homeowner in Brownington, Vermont, serving the greater Orleans area, was dealing with a severely wet crawl space where standing water had accumulated across much of the ground. The ongoing intrusion created an unstable and unhealthy environment beneath the home, a common issue in parts of Orleans County where groundwater can build up around foundations. During the inspection, our team identified widespread water accumulation throughout the crawl space with an ineffective sump pump in place to manage or discharge it. The lack of drainage allowed water to remain in the space, contributing to consistently damp conditions and increasing the risk of long-term structural and environmental issues.
Solution
To address the problem, we installed a reliable system designed to manage and discharge water from the crawl space:
- Sump Pump System installed to collect and remove water from the crawl space
- IceGuard® Discharge Line System added to prevent freezing and ensure year-round performance in Vermont conditions
- LawnScape™ Outlet installed to direct water safely away from the foundation
This system works together to ensure water is efficiently removed from the crawl space, even during heavy groundwater conditions common in the Brownington and Orleans County area.
Following installation, the crawl space no longer holds standing water and is now a controlled environment with active water management. The homeowner can now rely on a system designed to handle the conditions typical of the Orleans region. This Brownington, Vermont project highlights the importance of installing a dependable waterproofing system in areas like Orleans County where water intrusion can be persistent. With a sump pump, IceGuard®, and LawnScape™ outlet working together, the home is now protected by a long-term solution built to meet the demands of northern New England.
