Basement Waterproofing in South Strafford, Vermont | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
This South Strafford, Vermont, home had water entering the basement and collecting along the wall and floor. The affected area included mechanical equipment, storage, and utility components, making it important to control the water before it could spread or create additional problems. Water along the floor and wall joint can be a recurring issue during wet weather, snow melt, or periods of saturated soil. The homeowner needed a dependable system that could collect water inside the basement and move it away from the home.
Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems inspected the basement to identify where water was collecting and how it should be managed. The team reviewed the foundation wall, floor conditions, available sump location, and the best exterior path for the discharge line. The inspection showed that the home needed a sump pump system, wall protection, and exterior discharge components to move collected water out and away from the foundation.
Solution
Northern Basement Systems installed a sump pump system to collect water from the affected basement area and pump it outside. The discharge line was routed to the exterior and equipped with IceGuard. A LawnScape outlet was installed outside to allow the discharged water to exit away from the foundation.
- Sump Pump System: Installed to collect water inside the basement and pump it out of the home.
- IceGuard: Installed on the exterior discharge line to provide an emergency outlet if the line freezes or becomes blocked.
- LawnScape Outlet: Installed at the end of the discharge line to release water away from the foundation in a controlled location.
- Exterior Discharge Line: Carries pumped water from the sump system to the outside of the home.
The basement now has a reliable way to collect and remove water from the affected area. Instead of water sitting along the foundation wall and floor, the system directs it to the sump pump and sends it outside through the protected discharge line.
Northern Basement Systems helped this South Strafford, Vermont, homeowner protects their basement with a waterproofing system designed to collect water, pump it out, and discharge it away from the home.
