Basement Repair in South Burlington, Vermont, with Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Challenge
A homeowner in South Burlington, Vermont, was facing multiple issues in their basement and crawl space. Heavy rains often left standing water along the perimeter of the basement. The walls exhibited signs of moisture, and a persistent musty odor permeated the house. Worse, the floors above the crawl space were beginning to sag, and several support posts were visibly failing.
These conditions were compromising the home’s structural integrity, energy efficiency, and indoor air quality. The homeowner reached out to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems for a permanent, whole-system solution.
Solution
After a thorough inspection, our team developed a comprehensive plan to address all of the homeowner’s concerns:
-
WaterGuard® Interior Drainage System was installed along the basement perimeter to capture water seepage before it reaches the basement floor.
-
A TripleSafe® Sump Pump System was added to handle high water volumes and provide protection during power outages with its battery backup pump.
-
The CleanSpace Wall System was applied to the interior walls, providing a vapor barrier to keep moisture out while also enhancing the brightness of the basement space.
-
In the crawl space, we installed the SmartJack Support System to stabilize and lift sagging floor joists, restoring structural support and eliminating bouncy, uneven floors.
-
To address air quality and prevent future humidity issues, we have included the SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier. This high-performance unit maintains low humidity and keeps the air clean throughout the year.
The transformation was immediate and long-lasting. The basement is now completely dry, the walls are sealed from moisture intrusion, and the crawl space is fully supported with SmartJack® posts. The musty odors are gone, and the SaniDry™ system ensures clean, dry air circulates throughout the home.
This South Burlington homeowner now enjoys peace of mind, improved indoor comfort, and a basement and crawl space protected for years to come.
