A home in Townshend, Vermont, was more than just a house—it was a piece of history, a testament to a bygone era. Yet, with its age came many challenges, including a damp and musty basement that threatened to undermine its structural integrity. Aware of the importance of preserving the past, the homeowners turned to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for help. Recognizing the unique needs of a historic property, the team developed a custom waterproofing solution that addressed the problem's source while respecting the home's architectural integrity.

When a longtime resident of South Londonderry, Vermont, had been experiencing persistent water problems in their basement. Despite their efforts to manage the situation with temporary fixes, the issue persisted, especially during heavy rains and spring thaws. They decided it was time to seek a permanent solution and contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems, renowned experts in basement waterproofing.

Upon arrival, the team from Northern Basement Systems conducted a thorough inspection of the basement. The inspection revealed significant water infiltration through the foundation walls and floor, creating a damp and unhealthy environment. Understanding the urgency and the potential damage this could cause, Matt Clark's team proposed a comprehensive waterproofing strategy.

The recommended solution included installing a TripleSafe Sump Pump System and a CleanSpace Wall System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System, known for its reliability and triple protection, would ensure that the basement remained dry even in the most challenging conditions. This system features three pumps: a primary pump, a secondary pump in case of primary failure, and a battery-operated backup pump for power outages.

In addition to the sump pump system, the CleanSpace Wall System was chosen to address the moisture seeping through the walls. This heavy-duty liner, designed to act as a vapor barrier, would prevent water vapor from entering the basement and direct it to the sump pump system for removal. The CleanSpace Wall System provides an effective moisture barrier and brightens the basement with its clean, white appearance.

The installation process began with the team carefully preparing the basement. They removed debris and prepared the walls and floor to install the CleanSpace Wall System. The CleanSpace liner was meticulously applied to the walls, sealed, and secured, ensuring no gaps were left for moisture to penetrate.

Next, the team installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump System in the most effective location within the basement. The installation included setting up the primary, secondary, and battery backup pumps, along with the necessary piping to direct water out of the basement and away from the home's foundation.

Throughout the installation, the Northern Basement Systems team maintained clear communication with Jane and Tom, explaining each step and addressing their concerns. By the end of the project, the Walters had a fully waterproofed basement, giving them peace of mind and protecting their home from future water damage.

Jane and Tom were thrilled with the results. They could now use their basement for storage and additional living space without worrying about water damage or mold growth. The clean, bright look of the CleanSpace Wall System also enhanced the overall appearance of their basement.

Matt's team arrived promptly and conducted a thorough inspection. They discovered that the basement's exterior walls were allowing groundwater to enter. The team explained their plan to the Thompsons, which included installing a perimeter drainage system and a sump pump to manage water infiltration efficiently.

The installation process was smooth and efficient. The team worked diligently to ensure minimal disruption to the Thompson family’s daily routine.

The Andersons had recently purchased a lovely suburban home in Brattleboro, Vermont, but they soon realized their crawlspace was causing them trouble. The floors above the crawlspace were cold in winter, and there was a musty smell emanating from below. They wanted to ensure their home was as comfortable and energy-efficient as possible, so they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for help.

The team arrived promptly to inspect the crawlspace. They found that the space lacked proper insulation and a dirt floor, contributing to the issues the Andersons were experiencing. The solution was clear: a complete crawlspace encapsulation was needed to transform the space into a dry, energy-efficient home part.

The project began with installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier to cover the crawlspace floor and walls, preventing moisture from seeping in. Next, the team installed insulation to regulate the temperature in the crawlspace and keep the floors warm. A dehumidifier was added to maintain low humidity levels to ensure optimal air quality.

In Brattleboro, Vermont, a century-old farmhouse had weathered the test of time. Its charm and character had been preserved over the years, but the home’s foundation was beginning to show signs of its age. The floors on the main level had started to sag, creating an uneven surface and concerns about structural integrity. The crawlspace beneath the home had become damp, raising fears of moisture damage.

The homeowners turned to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for a solution. Known for their expertise in crawlspace repair, the team arrived on-site to assess the situation. After a thorough inspection, they recommended a combination of SmartJacks to address the sagging floors and a comprehensive waterproofing system to protect the crawlspace.

The SmartJacks system was installed to provide stable and adjustable support. The crew carefully positioned each SmartJack beneath the floor joists, lifting and leveling the floors to their original position. This not only restored the home's stability but also eliminated the unsightly sagging that had plagued the main level.

Next, the team focused on waterproofing the crawlspace. They installed a durable vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the space. A perimeter drainage system and a powerful sump pump ensured that any water entering the crawlspace would be swiftly and efficiently removed.

When Matt Clark’s team completed their work, the farmhouse stood on solid ground again, and the crawlspace was dry and secure. The homeowners could now enjoy the comfort and peace of mind of knowing their historic home was protected for years.

The old house in Brattleboro, Vermont, had stood firm for years. It had seen Vermont’s harsh winters, warm summers, and everything else. But lately, something wasn’t right. The floors felt uneven underfoot, doors stuck in frames, and small cracks crept along the walls. At first, the homeowner brushed it off as just the house settling. But as time passed, the problem only got worse. Worried about what might be happening beneath their feet, they decided to call in the experts at Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems.

When our team arrived, we went to work inspecting the crawl space. We found a common issue in older homes—the wooden support beams beneath the house had weakened over time, struggling to hold the weight above, and years of moisture and natural settling had taken their toll, leaving the floors sagging and unstable. The problem could worsen if left unaddressed, leading to costly damage and potential safety risks.

Knowing the home needed a strong and permanent solution, we recommended installing our SmartJack® support system. Unlike traditional wooden posts, SmartJacks® are made of high-strength steel and designed to withstand heavy loads without shifting, settling, or rotting. The best part? They’re adjustable, meaning we could gently lift the sagging floors back to their proper position while ensuring long-term stability.

Over the next day, our team carefully prepped the crawl space, installing the SmartJacks® in key locations where support was most needed. As we made precise adjustments, the homeowner watched as their floors straightened out, doors that once stuck now opened with ease, and the cracks in the walls stopped worsening. The transformation was immediate, but more importantly, it was built to last.

With their home back on solid footing, the homeowner could finally breathe a sigh of relief. No more worries about sagging floors or creeping cracks—just the confidence of knowing their home was safe and stable for years.
