When a home in Plattsburgh, New York had an issue with watering entering their basement, the home-owners called the basement waterproofing experts at Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems at 855-DRY-TIME.  After a Free Estimate, a plan was put into action to make sure water entering the basement would be a thing of the past.  The installation specialist at Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems installed perimeter water guard drainage and then tied the water guard into a TripleSafe sump pump.  The basement would also get very humid and nasty during the warm summer months.  To combat the humidity a state-of-the-art Sedona Sanidry dehumidifier was installed.  It has a drainage tube that fits snug into a hole in the Triple Safe sump pump. The home-owners are now proud owners of a permanently dry and useable basement.

The Petersons, both musicians, wanted to convert their basement in Plattsburgh, New York, into a music studio but were hindered by persistent water issues. Seeking a permanent solution, they reached out to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for assistance.

Upon inspection, the team identified several points of water entry and suggested installing an interior drainage system and a reliable sump pump. The Petersons were impressed by the detailed plan and scheduled the work immediately.

The crew arrived on time and began by excavating a trench along the basement's interior perimeter. They installed the drainage system and connected it to the sump pump, ensuring efficient water removal. The sump pump had a battery backup to provide uninterrupted service during power outages.

Once the system was in place, the team restored the basement floor and left the space clean and ready for use. The Petersons were thrilled with the crew's professionalism and efficiency. They could transform their basement into a music studio without fear of water damage.

Crawlspace Repair in Plattsburgh, New York, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

In Plattsburgh, New York, the Williams family noticed that their home’s energy bills were consistently high, especially during winter. They felt cold drafts coming up from the floors and realized their crawl space was likely contributing to its poor energy efficiency. The crawl space was damp, uninsulated, and had gaps that allowed cold air to enter.

The Williams family wanted to reduce their energy bills and make their home more comfortable during the cold season. They understood that improving the condition of their crawl space could significantly impact their home’s overall energy efficiency. Additionally, they were concerned about the potential for bad air quality in their damp crawl space.

They contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for a professional assessment. The team recommended a complete crawl space encapsulation, including sealing the crawl space with a vapor barrier, insulating the walls and floors, and installing a dehumidifier. The installation was carried out efficiently and with minimal disruption.

Jane’s 50-year-old home stood in Plattsburgh, NY, with its charming wooden beams and the echoes of years gone by. Beneath its cozy floors lay a crawlspace that had long been a source of discomfort. The damp air and musty smell were persistent reminders of unseen problems, making Jane's home feel less welcoming.

One crisp autumn morning, Jane decided it was time to address the issues. She called Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems, knowing their reputation for expert service. When Matt and his team arrived, they quickly got to work inspecting every corner of the crawlspace. They found moisture-prone areas, weakened wooden supports, and poor insulation, laying out a clear transformation plan.

The team installed a high-quality vapor barrier, revamped the drainage system, and reinforced the wooden supports, ensuring the crawlspace was strong and dry. They added fresh insulation and improved ventilation, significantly boosting the home’s energy efficiency and eliminating the musty odors. As days passed, the crawlspace transformed into a clean, dry, and well-ventilated space, starkly contrasting to its former state.

When the work was completed, Jane was overjoyed. The crawlspace was now a model of health and efficiency, and her home felt warmer and more comfortable than ever.

Basement Wall Repair in Plattsburg, New York, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

When a homeowner in Plattsburg, New York, reached out to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems after discovering significant cracks and bowing in their basement walls. Our team conducted a thorough assessment and recommended installing the PowerBrace wall support system to address the structural issues.

The PowerBrace system consists of heavy-duty steel I-beams installed vertically against the damaged walls. These beams are anchored to the basement floor and secured to the joists above, providing continuous support and reinforcement.

During installation, our experienced technicians carefully positioned the PowerBrace beams, ensuring optimal alignment and structural integrity. Once installed, the PowerBrace system immediately began stabilizing the affected walls.

The homeowners were delighted with the results, knowing that their basement walls were now adequately supported and strengthened for long-term stability

Basement Waterproofing in Plattsburgh, New York.

A family in Plattsburgh, New York was getting ready for the arrival of their new baby.  They were filled with joy and excitement, but also a feeling of "we need more space."  They knew if they could somehow get the water to stop entering their basement there would an ample amount of extra space to use.  The family decided the time had come to get help and permanently waterproof their basement, giving them all the extra space needed.  

They started doing research, carefully examing every option and company they could find.  They finally came to the conclusion that Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems would provide the best option for the services they required.  They gave a call to 855-DRY-TIME and set up a Free Estimate with a highly trained and experienced System Design Specialist.  The System Design Specialist inspected the basement and water issues, coming up with a plan to permanently waterproof the family basement and give the family a clean, dry, useable space.

Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems team of Installation Specialists went to work executing the System Design Specialists basement waterproofing plan. 

First, Water Guard perimeter drainage was installed along the entire perimeter of the basement.  The Water Guard is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor.  It includes a wall flange with 3/8" opening to collect water from the walls. The water guard will sit on top of the footing, away from the mud underneath your floor.  

Next, the Water Guard System is tied into the sump pump.  The basement always got a larger amount of water, so they went with the Triple Safe Sump Pump.  The Triple Safe will be able to keep up with the water amount, keeping the basement dry.  The Triple Safe comes with a primary pump, secondary pump, and a battery backup pump.  The battery backup will make sure that, even in the event of a power outage, the basement will remain clean and dry.  

Finally, the sump pump is connected to discharge lines that go out of the basement and connect to an Ice Guard and exterior discharge line.  The water will pump out of the Triple Safe sump pump, out the discharge lines, to the Ice Guard, then down an exterior discharge line, away from the home.

The family now has the clean, dry, useable basement they need and will allow them to have one less thing to worry about with their baby on the way.

Cracked and Sinking Concrete Slab in Plattsburgh, New York

James owns an apartment building in Plattsburgh, New York and upon removing the floor in the living room in one of the units, that it had large cracks and was beginning to settle and become uneven. He also figured that there was a large void under the slab that was causing the settlement. 

After a system design specialist visited the living space he proposed to use a PolyLevel injection beneath the concrete slab. This high-density polyurethane foam injection fills the void under the concrete slab and then stabilizes and lifts the sinking area to level the living space. The advantage of PolyLevel is that it's non-invasive, quick installation and cure time, accurate and clean lift, and adjustable for all load sizes. Lastly, he proposed a NexusPro joint sealant that is silicone-based and designed to provide long-lasting flexibility and to stand up to harsh weather conditions.

 

With these solutions in place, the living space is now level and will make laying new flooring in the unit much more feasible and will ensure the longevity of the foundation in the unit. 

Call Northern Basement Systems at 855-DRY-TIME to see if PolyLevel is the best solution for your settling concrete!

The previous owner of our house had a finished space in the basement that has had water issues. There is a trench around the base of the walls that does seem to help a bit but water is still seeping into the space both from the trenches and it appears to also be coming from under the floor as well? Not sure. We'd like to deal with these issues, along with getting a large egress window in place of this small one.
