The basement floor is cracked and uneven. This Brattleboro, Vermont homeowner contacted Matt Clark and his team at 855-DRY-TIME to schedule their FREE ESTIMATE. The exposure to the ground underneath also raised concerns for moisture and flooding. First, the crew installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system, a SuperSump Premier Pump System, a discharge line with the IceGuard and LawnScape Outlet and,   sprayed Polyurethane Closed Cell Foam along the joist area. With all of these systems installed, the floor is now sealed preventing moisture from seeping through the floor or walls!

Like most Churches, this Church in Alstead, New Hampshire had events and gatherings.  The majority of this Church's events took place in a nice finished basement.  Over the years the church had to move or cancel events due to water in the basement.  They had a sump pump, but it wouldn't keep up with the large amount of water entering.  This would lead to endless hours of removing the water by additional portable pumps and shop vacuums.  Tired of the hassle, the good people at the church reached out to the Water Proofing Experts at Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.  After a FREE ESTIMATE, one of Matt's System Design Specialist set forth a plan to permanently water proof the church basement.  The amount of water entering the basement and the size of the basement was so large that this job would call for three TripleSafe Sump Pumps, a WaterGuard System, and to control the humidity a Sanidry XP.  The basement is now nice and dry, ready to host future events.

To make the basement in Springfield, Vermont permanently dry Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems installed a Full Perimeter WaterGuard System, a CleanSpace Wall System, and completed the project with a SuperSump Pump.

A Woodstock, Vermont homeowner contacted Northern Basement Systems to schedule a FREE estimate to see how Matt and his team could improve his basement space. At the time the basement had a dirt floor and a large portion of the area was crawlspace with minimal clearance. After a system design specialist visited the home he found a solution to improve the whole basement and make it more usable and eliminate the dirt floor.

The installation specialists at Northern Basement Systems installed WaterGuard on the perimeter of the basement for drainage, and 10-foot SmartJacks were installed for added support beneath the home. Next, the specialist installed Delta mat and PEX radiant heating tubing. Lastly, the crew poured concrete over the Delta and PEX give a clean and finished look to the space. Matt Clark and his team were able to give this space an entire makeover to meet the customer's needs!

We provided this long-term customer with yearly maintenance and service to keep his system running as it should. The homeowner recently had his oil tank removed and wanted to alter the WaterGuard drainage system in that area to give it a more finished look and make that space more usable. 

When the system was installed, the perimeter drainage was placed around the oil tank slab to prevent water from entering the basement, once the oil tank was removed, the raised slab remained and made that corner unusable. 

Our service team jackhammered out the raised slab and added WaterGuard Drainage along the perimeter wall, then concealed the system with concrete to give the space a clean and finished look.

We always want to hear from our customers regarding annual services and system improvements! It's important to service waterproofing and foundation systems annually to ensure that all parts are operating as they should and to find any problems before they find you! 

The owners of a very large building in South Burlington, VT were in serious trouble.  Their building had started to sink and knew they needed help.  They did their research and came to the conclusion that Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems was far and beyond the most reputable and reliable company for the job.  Northern Basement Systems did an inspection and found that the foundation had in fact sunk 3 1/4    In the before picture you can see where there is a massive crack in the floor.  The team dug up the floor and installed a State of the Art Push Peir.  This will allow help support the column of the building.

Push Piers are made of steel and are driven very far into the ground until it hits stable soil or bedrock.  The push piers on this job were used in both the interior and exterior of the building to lift it back to the original position.  The team removed soil from around the exterior walls then used a heavy-duty steel bracket that is installed below and against the building foundation's footing.  Next, steel piers are driven hydraulically through the bracket into the stable soil.  The weight of the building is transferred through the piers to competent soil.  Then our team lifted the building back to a level state, backfilled the soil, and now the building is permanently stabilized.

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.

A nasty old crawl space can give homeowners many issues.  The crawl space, located in downtown Montpelier, Vermont was having a few of them.  The owner expressed concern of bad odors coming from the crawlspace and very cold, drafty floors.  Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems went in and installed a Crawlspace Encapsulation System.  This will take care of bad odors and put an end to the cold drafty floors. 

The customer had a very deteriorated concrete slab.  Matt Clark's team of experts void filled the slab.  After they put delta down and a full perimeter Water Guard, a TripleSafe Pump System, and a Sedona Sanidry dehumidifier.  Next, they installed a Vapor Barrier/Clean Space Wall.  Then they installed a brand new concrete floor and insulated the rim joists

The homeowner called with a concern about the moisture in the basement that was moving its way up into the house. We installed a SmartDrain, a CleanSpace crawlspace encapsulation system with drainage matting under the liner, and lastly installed a SaniDry unit to limit moisture in the crawlspace.
