Hillsborough County's Basement Waterproofing Company You Can Rely On

A homeowner in Peterborough, New Hampshire, had recently purchased a new home.  During the home inspection, there were areas of concern brought to the attention of the future homeowner.  The home inspector pointed out that there were visible signs of previous water seeping into the basement and also showed a wall that needed to be evaluated by a structural engineer. 

The homeowner set up an appointment with a structural engineer. After a thorough inspection, it was determined a form of structural support was in need to maintain the integrity of the foundation.  The structural engineer referred the home buyer to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems, a company that he used all the time for his clients, always did outstanding work, and who could perform the tasks of both waterproofing and structurally repairing the foundation. 

After a free estimate form one of Northern Basement Systems System Design Technicians, a plan was carried out to both waterproof and structurally repair the new homeowner's foundation.   

Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems installed a Clean Space Wall System and tied it into a newly installed Perimeter Water Guard Drainage System.  These two systems will take any water seepage and direct it to the sump pump for discharge.  The new Super Sump Plus Sump Pump will pump out any water down a discharge line, then out of an Ice Gaurd Discharge System.  

To secure and maintain the foundation wall the engineer deemed unsafe, Matt's team installed Galvanized Steel Power Braces.  The Power Braces will permanently support the once failing wall.  

The basement is now structurally sound and waterproofed, ready for the new homeowner to relax and enjoy.

A family in New Ipswich, New Hampshire, needed to sell their home.  The father of the family recently received a promotion, and it required the whole family to move to Boston.  The family had minimum time to get ready to move and get the house inline to sell.  They met with a local realtor and made sure they were going to get the most they could out of the sale of their home.  One of the significant suggestions from the realtor was to fix the wet basement of the house.  The agent explained to the family how easier it was to sell a home with a dry basement, as opposed to a basement that has water issues.  The agent had already worked with a basement waterproofing company many times, helping fix wet cellars and basements with structural damage, while maximizing their home's resale value.  

The family went ahead, at their realtor's high recommendation, and hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement System to take care of their wet basement.  Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems starts any job with a complete inspection from a System Design Technician.  After the inspection, the System Design Technician sat down with the homeowners and went over a custom-designed plan to permanently waterproof their basement. 

Knowing the importance of the family getting ready to move and preparing the home for sale, Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems worked with the family and put a priority on their project. 

A team of Installation Specialists installed a Perimeter Water Guard Drainage System along the entire perimeter of the basement.  Next, the crew ties the water guard into a Triple Safe Sump Pump.  The Triple Safe can pump-out 2,200 galloons with the primary pump, 3,900 galloons with the secondary pump.  One of the best features of the Triple Safe is the battery back-up pump.  The battery back-up can pump out 11,500 gallons on a fully charged battery.  After the Triple Safe is installed, a discharge system is set in place and tied into an Ice Guard Discharge Line System.  The Ice Guard will allow the water to discharge away from the foundation of the home safely.

In Weare, New Hampshire, frost and moisture interacted with the ground around the foundation of a family's home, causing the soil to expand.  The expansion of the land caused an inward force to the foundation wall, making one of the walls crack and bow. 

The family didn't like the idea of an unsafe wall and decided the time had come to search for some help to remedy their failing foundation wall. 

A close family friend was in the construction industry and told the family he would happily take a look at the wall for them.  After the friend took a look at the wall, he believed the wall to be a danger and advised the family to get a hold of a structural engineer.  The family hired a structural engineer and anxiously awaiting the results of his evaluation of the wall.  The engineer reported the wall was failing, but it could be saved, without having to lift the home and pour a new foundation wall.  The engineer referred the family to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems, a company he works with all the time and delivers responsible, high-quality work.  Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems provide a variety of options to fit specific needs and restore walls to a safe, stable condition.   

The family hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems to stabilize the failing wall of their basement permanently.  A free estimate was given by a System Design Technician, working together with the structural engineer, a custom plan was set-up to stabilize and even potentially straighten the wall back to normal over time. 

Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems installed a custom Power Brace System.  The PowerBrace system permanently stabilizes your home's foundation walls. Zinc-plated steel beams are custom-fit to your basement wall height and secured tight against your basement wall with brackets anchored to your basement floor and floor joists. PowerBrace's unique, patented design allows the system to be tightened over time, potentially reversing wall failure without any invasive drilling or digging on the property.  The system also comes with a 25-year warranty from the manufacturer, as well as a service warranty from Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.  

The family no longer has to worry about their foundation wall and with annual service, the system will be adjusted to straighten during the dry months.
