Basement Waterproofing in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

Challenge

A family in West Chesterfield, New Hampshire, struggled with recurring water problems in their basement. Heavy rain and melting snow would cause water to seep in, leaving the cellar damp and unusable. Concerned about long-term damage and the potential for mold growth, they decided to contact Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems for a permanent waterproofing solution.

Solution

After assessing the basement and its water intrusion patterns, the team recommended a comprehensive waterproofing system featuring the WaterGuard Drainage System, TripleSafe Sump Pump System, IceGuard Discharge Line Protection, and a LawnScape Outlet. This system ensures practical water management and protection, no matter the season.

1. WaterGuard Drainage System:
   This interior drainage system was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor. Designed to intercept water before it enters the living space, WaterGuard directs any seepage into the sump pump, providing a clean and efficient solution to manage basement water.

2. TripleSafe Sump Pump System:
   The TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to handle the collected water. Its three-pump design includes a primary pump, a secondary pump for high-capacity demands, and a battery-powered backup to ensure continuous operation during power outages.

3. IceGuard Discharge Line Protection:
   New Hampshire winters often cause discharge lines to freeze, leading to potential backups. The IceGuard system was installed to prevent this issue. Its unique design allows water to escape even if the discharge line becomes frozen.

4. LawnScape Outlet:
   The LawnScape outlet was added to complete the system to extend the discharge line away from the home. This prevents water from re-entering the basement and protects the landscaping around the house.

The waterproofing system completely transformed the basement. The family now enjoys peace of mind knowing their home is protected against flooding and moisture. The dry basement is now a safe, functional space for storage and other activities.
