Basement Waterproofing in Plattsburgh, New York
Challenge
A homeowner in Plattsburgh, New York had a booming online business. They used a small extra bedroom for storing products, but the need for more space was inevitable if they were going to continue with rapid business growth. The homeowner knew their basement would make a fantastic space for the business. It would provide all the space they needed for now and plenty of extra space for business growth in the future. The only thing stopping the homeowner from using the basement was the water. The basement got water, a lot of water. The homeowner decided to start researching a company to handle waterproofing the basement. With a project of this magnitude, the homeowner didn't want to hire a fly-by-night company. A company with an excellent reputation, good reviews, and longevity was a must. After many, many hours of research, the homeowner gave the basement waterproofing experts at Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems a call at 855-DRY-TIME and set up a free estimate.
Solution
A system design specialist did a thorough inspection of the basement, showing the homeowner the different spots where water was entering and designing a custom waterproofing system to make the basement permanently dry. The crew of installation specialists executed the system design to perfection. First, the crew put up a clean space wall system along the walls of the basement getting water. The clean space will act both as a vapor barrier and a channel for wall seepage to go. Next, the crew installed water guard perimeter drainage along the basement perimeter footing. The water guard will collect any water and direct it to the sump pump. After installing the water guard a Triple Safe sump pump is put in place. The water guard will tie directly into the sump pump and discharge the water out of the basement through an Ice Guard and down a discharge line, away from the home. The happy homeowner now has the dry, useable basement needed to store products and expand their business.
