Jeff was facing a big problem; the floors in his old home were sagging. Most often, this problem occurs due to deteriorating support beams from the basement. In Jeff’s case, the lack of support was coming from his crawlspace. To combat this problem, Jeff reached out to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems and found a solution.

Matt Clark and his team of experts installed thirteen SmartJacks in Jeff’s crawlspace. The SmartJack system permanently lifts and stabilizes the existing beams and floor joists in a crawl space. Engineered fill addresses the problem of weak foundation soil by transferring the weight of the home to competent strata. Steel columns are secured to the beams and finally heavy-duty rods allow for adjustment and a custom fit to Jeff’s crawlspace.

Jeff won’t have to worry about his sagging floors anymore. Fortunately, he was proactive about the situation before it became worse. If you’ve got a similar situation, give Matt Clark a call for a free estimate!

Jesse was experiencing water in his basement. Even though it was a small leak, it was persistent during rain fall and the spring season. He figured there must be a way to take care of it. After doing some research online, he reached out to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems.

Matt Clark and his team of experts have seen this problem again and again in their line of work. They installed a SuperSump pump system, their DryTrak system, a LawnScape outlet and a discharge line. The DryTrak system runs along the base of the walls, collecting the water from the exterior soil and pushing it to the pump. From the pump, the water is channeled through the discharge line and released through the outlet, at a safe distance from the house. With all these installations in place, Jesse’s basement will be much drier during storms and the spring season.

Now Jesse doesn’t have to worry about water in his basement anymore. Basement water may seem like a difficult problem, but Matt Clark is an expert in the basement field and can find a solution. Give him a call if you have a concern about your basement.

Mary had a problem. During the spring season or during a heavy rain storm, her basement would take on water. After doing some research online, she found Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems and decided to give them a call.

When Matt and his team of experts went to Mary’s house, they knew just what to do. They installed their TripleSafe pump system, Waterguard system, a discharge line and an Iceguard. The Waterguard, which a gutter-like device, collects the water and sends it to the pump. The TripleSafe pump system is made up of three pumps; a primary pump and two backup pumps for when the power fails. The primary pump channels the water through the discharge line and back to the outdoor surface. The Iceguard is a nifty device that prevents the discharge line from freezing. With all these installations in place, Mary’s basement is well-suited for the next rain storm.

Mary made the right choice by calling Matt Clark. She can rest easily knowing that her basement will stay safe and dry for years to come.
