Basement Repair in West Townshend, Vermont | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
This West Townshend, Vermont, home had a basement with water intrusion and moisture concerns. The block foundation walls showed visible staining, and the basement floor had damp areas where water had been an issue. Without a proper waterproofing system, water can enter through the wall and floor joint, collect around the foundation, and leave the basement damp and difficult to use. The homeowner needed a dependable system that could collect water, manage moisture, and improve the overall condition of the basement. Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems inspected the basement to determine where water was entering and how it should be managed. The team reviewed the foundation walls, floor conditions, drainage path, and moisture levels inside the basement. The inspection showed that the basement needed a full waterproofing approach. This included interior drainage, drainage stone, concrete restoration, humidity control, and wall reinforcement in the areas showing concern.
Solution
Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems installed a complete basement waterproofing system. Interior drainage was placed along the perimeter to collect water before it could spread across the basement floor. Drainage stone was added to support water movement into the system, and fresh concrete was installed over the drainage area for a cleaner finished result.
A SaniDry dehumidifier was installed to help control humidity and reduce damp basement air. Wall reinforcement materials were also used where needed to help address areas of concern along the foundation wall.
