Crawl Space Encapsulation with CleanSpace & TripleSafe System in Waterbury, Vermont | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A homeowner in Waterbury, Vermont, was dealing with a damp, unprotected crawl space that allowed moisture to collect along the ground and foundation walls. The conditions made the space feel neglected and raised concerns about how it could impact the home above over time. Our inspection revealed that moisture was entering through both the crawl space floor and walls, with a failing, old sump pump and no system in place to properly manage or remove water. The exposed earth and lack of protection left the area vulnerable to ongoing damp conditions and seasonal changes.
Solution
To fully address the moisture and create a controlled environment, we installed a complete crawl space encapsulation and waterproofing system:
• CleanSpace Crawl Space Encapsulation System – Installed across the floor and walls to create a continuous vapor barrier, helping to isolate the space from ground moisture and improve overall conditions
• TripleSafe Sump Pump System – Installed to actively collect and remove water, providing multiple levels of protection including backup capability during power outages
• IceGuard Discharge Line System – Installed on the exterior to help prevent freezing and potential backups during Vermont winters
• LawnScape Outlet – Installed to direct water safely away from the home
The crawl space is now clean, dry, and fully encapsulated, transforming it from a damp, exposed area into a controlled environment. Moisture is properly managed, and the space now supports a healthier and more stable home above. By combining full encapsulation with a high-performance sump pump and discharge system, this Waterbury, Vermont, crawl space was turned into a reliable and protected part of the home. The homeowner now has confidence that moisture is being controlled year-round.
