Sullivan County's Premier Basement Waterproofing Comapny

Andrew had a problem on his hands. His chimney started to pull away from his house. Andrew knew that this was a liability and decided to take action. After talking it over with his friends and family, one of his friends referred him to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems.

Matt Clark and his team of experts arrived and inspected the chimney. It had several cracks in it and sure enough, was pulling away from the house. Such a problem was caused by settling soil from beneath the chimney. As some of the soil settled, the portion of the chimney resting upon it also settled. These shifts caused the chimney portions to physically separate. Matt Clark and his experts have seen this problem before, so they knew what to do. They installed four Push Piers to support the chimney’s foundation using standard brackets. The experts dug down to the chimney’s footing, installed the brackets and hydraulically pushed steel rods through the bracket and through the ground. The rods were pushed until they reached a competent layer of soil, deep below the surface. The weight was then transferred and the chimney was lifted back into its original position.

Andrew made the right choice by being proactive about his chimney. He can rest easily knowing that the foundation is in a much sturdier, safer condition.  Matt Clark is an expert in the world of foundation repair. He knows how the problem occurred and based on those occurrences, he can find the appropriate solution. Give Matt Clark a call for a free estimate today!

Bruce had a problem on his hands. During heavy rain storms, water would seep right through Bruce’s concrete floor and dampen his bedroom carpet. After talking it over with his friend, Bruce was referred to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems. After a free phone call, Matt Clark and his team agreed to go out and give Bruce a free estimate.

Bruce’s problem was a relatively common one. Many homeowners, from all around New England, face the problem of foundational leakages. However, in Bruce’s case there was a simplistic solution. The experts from Northern Basement Systems saw that backed-up rainwater could have been a main contributor to the seepage. They installed four RainChutes. A RainChute is a recessed downspout extension that sits flush with the ground. The RainChute flushes away leaves and debris so it doesn’t become clogged. These installations helped channel the water away from the foundation, reducing the likelihood that it would seep through the concrete.

Matt Clark knows that many times, a sump pump system can be the solution. Sump pumps are a great way to get pesky water out of the basement but sometimes, it just takes getting the rain water away from the foundation in the first place. Bruce is pleased that he called Matt Clark.
