A homeowner in Grantham, NH was tired of having water enter her basement. In search of a permanent solution to stop the water she reached out to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Sytems. Northern Basement Systems sent out one of their highly qualified System Design Specialist for a FREE ESTIMATE. After the estimate, a plan was set forth to stop the unwanted water from entering the basement. First, a Full Perimeter WaterGuard System was install. This will collect the water and divert it to the sump pumps. The basement was large and had enough water coming in for the need of two pumps. On the side of the basement where the most water was coming in NBS installed a state-of-the-art TripleSafe Sump Pump. On the other side they installed a SuperSump Pump. The pumps will take the water collected by the WaterGuard and take it out of the home down a discharge line far away from the home. Northern Basement System discharge lines are equipped with IceGuards. They will prevent any water from not getting out of the home due to freezing in the line. The homeowner now can enjoy a wonderful dry basement.
In Grantham, New Hampshire a customer was looking to insulate the Rim Joists of his basement and take care of a bad humidity problem. He hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems to install a state-of-the-art SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier to take care of the humidity. The Sanidry will keep the basement at a perfect 55% humidity. Northern Basement Systems sprayed the rim joists with closed-cell polyurethane foam. The closed-cell foam creates a highly insulated building assembly that's also free of energy-wasting air leaks. Closed-cell is about 3-4 times as dense as open-cell foam, and it provides an R-value of 6-7 per inch.
A wet, humid basement is not ideal for anyone. A homeowner in Danville, Vermont was fed up with dealing with conditions of the basement and decided to call the experts at Matt Clark's Northern Basement System for a permanent solution. Matt's team installed a Cleanspace vapor barrier on the perimeter walls to take care of any wall seepaage. This will drain any seepage to the new WaterGuard System and then will be taken to the state-of-the-art TripleSafe Sump Pump. The TripleSafe will then pump the water out to an exterior IceGuard Discharge Line System. To finish up the job they added a state-of-the-art, energy efficient, Sanidry Sedona Dehumidifier. This will keep the basement at a perfect 55% humidity.
When a homeowner in Danville, Vermont, wanted a solution for a damp crawlspace, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Every spring the homeowner in Lyme, New Hampshire would get water in their basement and it wouldn't start to go away until August. This made using the basement for anything a big inconvenience. Tired of not being able to use their space they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Matt sent out of his System Design Specialist for the customers FREE ESTIMATE. After doing the inspection the conclusion was made the best way to keep the customers basement permanently dry was to install a few different products. First Northern Basement Systems installed a CleanSpace Wall System. The CleanSpace Wall System uses a thick (20mil) white poly sheet material to completely cover basement foundation walls. CleanSpace is installed by fastening the material to the rim joist atop the foundation wall, and by installing press-fit plastic fasteners into the masonry. As part of your waterproofing system, it creates an effective moisture and vapor barrier. The wall covering forces all wall seepage and moisture to flow into your perimeter drain system. The white poly surface eliminates the need to paint basement walls, providing a bright, stain-resistant finish that never needs repainting or maintenance.
Next, WaterGuard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to collect any water seepage from the wall to the WaterGuard. Finally a SuperSump Plus was installed to pump out any water in the WaterGuard. The SuperSump will take all of the water out of the basement and pump it away from the house down a discharge line. The homeowner now can finally enjoy a nice dry basement.
