Crawl Space Waterproofing in Essex, New York | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A homeowner in Essex, New York, was dealing with significant water intrusion in their crawl space, with large amounts of water collecting across the ground during wet conditions. The ongoing presence of water created an unstable environment beneath the home and raised concerns about long-term moisture-related issues. Our team performed a detailed crawl space inspection and identified active water entering and pooling throughout the space. There was no reliable system in place to manage or remove the water, allowing it to spread freely. Given the volume of water, it was clear that controlling and discharging it would be the priority before considering any additional upgrades.
Solution
To address the active water intrusion in the crawl space, we installed a system designed to manage and discharge water effectively for long-term performance:
• TripleSafe® Sump Pump System – Installed to handle high volumes of water with three levels of protection, including a battery backup to keep the system running during power outages
• IceGuard® Discharge Line System – Installed on the exterior to help prevent freezing and backups during cold Essex, New York winters
• LawnScape™ Outlet – Installed to allow water to discharge safely away from the home
The crawl space is now better protected against water intrusion, with water being actively collected and discharged away from the home. By installing a high-performance sump pump and a reliable discharge system, this Essex, New York crawl space was transformed into a more stable, controlled environment beneath the home.
This crawl space waterproofing project in Essex, New York, highlights the importance of properly managing active water intrusion. By installing a dependable sump pump and discharge system, Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems delivered a long-term solution tailored to the home’s specific conditions, giving the homeowner confidence in the crawl space's year-round performance.
