Basement Repair in Hanover, New Hampshire, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

Challenge

A homeowner in Hanover, New Hampshire, was dealing with persistent water seepage along the perimeter of their basement. After heavy rainstorms or spring snowmelt, puddles would form near the walls, creating musty odors and damp conditions that made the basement unlivable. Despite multiple DIY attempts to redirect water outside, the problem continued to worsen, especially in the corners of the foundation and near existing sump pits that failed to keep up.

Solution

Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems conducted a comprehensive inspection of the property and designed a customized waterproofing system to address both immediate water issues and potential future risks. The solution included:

• DryLock® Interior Drainage System: Installed around the perimeter of the basement to capture seepage from the walls and floor joints before it reaches the interior space.

• TripleSafe™ Sump Pump System: This three-pump system provides triple the protection with a primary pump, a secondary pump for high-volume situations, and a battery backup pump for power outages.

• IceGuard® Discharge Line Protection: Designed to prevent water backup in the event of frozen discharge lines, ensuring the system stays operational even in harsh New Hampshire winters.

The homeowner now has a dry, healthy, and functional basement for the first time in years. The WaterGuard system reliably channels groundwater into the TripleSafe sump system, which discharges it away from the home with added winter protection thanks to IceGuard. The basement is now ready for finishing, storage, or everyday use, and the customer no longer worries when storms are in the forecast.
