Crawl Space Repair in Nelson, New Hampshire | Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
A homeowner in Nelson, New Hampshire, was looking to improve the condition of an older basement crawl space area beneath their home. The space featured exposed stone and brick foundation walls, open access areas, and an unfinished appearance, making the basement feel dark and vulnerable to moisture intrusion. Over time, moisture and humidity had begun affecting the lower portions of the masonry foundation, creating concerns about the environment beneath the home. After inspecting the basement crawl space, our team found aging stone and brick foundation walls with visible moisture intrusion along the lower sections of the masonry. The unfinished space had several exposed areas, leaving the basement vulnerable to the damp conditions common in older New England homes. The homeowner wanted a permanent solution that would improve the space's appearance while protecting the foundation from ongoing moisture exposure.
Solution
To help improve and protect the basement crawl space environment, our team installed:
- CleanSpace wall encapsulation system
- Full wall vapor barrier protection
- Encapsulation around the exposed masonry surfaces
- Bright white moisture barrier system to improve the appearance of the basement area
- Sealed wall system designed to help separate the home from moisture conditions surrounding the foundation
The basement crawl space in this Nelson, New Hampshire, home was transformed from a dark, unfinished area into a much cleaner, brighter, and better-protected space. The new CleanSpace encapsulation system now helps improve the overall condition of the crawl space while providing long-term moisture protection for the older stone and brick foundation walls.
