Basement Waterproofing in Plattsburgh, New York, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Challenge
A homeowner in Plattsburgh, New York, was experiencing ongoing water intrusion in their basement, especially during periods of heavy rain and seasonal snowmelt. Water was entering along the basement perimeter and at the wall-to-floor joint, creating damp conditions and preventing the homeowner from comfortably using the space.
Solution
A System Design Specialist from Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems performed a comprehensive basement inspection. The evaluation identified perimeter seepage caused by groundwater pressure around the foundation, with water collecting at the wall-to-floor joint—a common issue in homes throughout the Plattsburgh area due to soil conditions and climate patterns.
To permanently control the water intrusion, our team installed a WaterGuard interior drainage system along the basement perimeter. This system captures water at the basement entry point and channels it safely to a sump system before it reaches the floor.
A TripleSafe sump pump system was also installed to ensure reliable water removal. With three levels of pumping protection, the system is designed to handle high water volumes and continue operating during power outages. The newly installed waterproofing system immediately resolved the water intrusion issues. The basement is now dry, controlled, and protected from future groundwater problems, allowing the homeowner to use the space with confidence year-round. This basement waterproofing project in Plattsburgh, New York, demonstrates how a properly designed drainage and sump system can permanently address basement water problems.
