Water in a Upper Jay, New York, Basement | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
This Upper Jay, New York home had basement water concerns caused by moisture entering through the foundation and collecting along the floor. The basement showed exposed wall sections and conditions that required a more complete waterproofing approach. Without a proper drainage and sump pump system, water could continue to enter the basement during heavy rain, snowmelt, or wet ground conditions. The homeowner needed a reliable solution that could manage water from inside the basement and send it away from the home. Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems inspected the basement to identify the areas where water was entering and determine how it should be collected and discharged. The team reviewed the foundation walls, floor conditions, interior drainage needs, and exterior discharge route. The inspection showed that the basement needed wall protection, interior drainage, a dependable sump pump, and a discharge system that could carry water away from the foundation.
Solution
Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems installed a basement waterproofing system to help collect and remove water from the basement. A CleanSpace wall system was installed along the foundation wall to direct wall seepage into the drainage system. A sump pump system was installed to collect water from the waterproofing system and pump it out of the basement. The discharge line was routed to the exterior of the home and equipped with IceGuard to help protect the system during freezing conditions. A LawnScape outlet was installed to release water away from the foundation.
Products Installed
- CleanSpace Wall System: A durable wall liner used to direct wall moisture down into the basement drainage system while helping improve the overall appearance of the space.
- Interior Drainage System: Installed along the basement perimeter to collect water and move it toward the sump pump before it can spread across the floor.
- Sump Pump System: Collects water from the drainage system and pumps it out of the basement.
- IceGuard: Installed on the exterior discharge line to provide an emergency outlet if the buried or extended discharge line freezes or becomes blocked.
- LawnScape Outlet: Allows discharged water to exit away from the foundation in a controlled location.
The basement now has a much better way to handle water. Moisture from the walls and floor is directed into the drainage system, collected by the sump pump, and discharged outside away from the home. The finished system helps reduce the risk of standing water, protects the basement from future water intrusion, and gives the homeowner more confidence during heavy rain and snowmelt.
Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems helped this Upper Jay, New York homeowner protect their basement with a complete waterproofing system. By combining CleanSpace wall protection, interior drainage, a sump pump, IceGuard, and a LawnScape outlet, the team created a reliable system designed to keep water moving out and away from the home.
