Basement Waterproofing in Wardsboro, Vermont, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems

Challenge

The homeowners in Wardsboro, Vermont, faced ongoing water problems in their basement, which posed risks to their home’s structural integrity and overall comfort. They sought a permanent solution and contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for expert assistance.

The key challenges of the project included:

1. Water Intrusion: Groundwater regularly enters the basement, creating a damp environment.

2. Effective Water Discharge: Water must be properly redirected away from the home, regardless of weather conditions.

Solution

The Northern Basement Systems team developed and implemented a comprehensive waterproofing system to solve these issues.

1. TripleSafe Sump Pump System

• Installation: A TripleSafe sump pump system was installed to provide three layers of protection, including a battery backup, to ensure functionality during power outages.

• Benefits: This reliable system keeps the basement dry under all circumstances.

2. WaterGuard Drainage System

• Installation: The WaterGuard system was placed along the perimeter of the basement to capture water seepage and channel it directly to the sump pump.

• Benefits: This system efficiently handles water intrusion without disrupting the usability of the basement.

3. IceGuard Discharge Line Protection

• Installation: IceGuard was added to the discharge line to prevent freezing and ensure water could exit even during Vermont’s harsh winters.

• Benefits: This feature provides year-round reliability by avoiding potential clogs from frozen water.

4. LawnScape Outlet

• Installation: A LawnScape outlet was installed at the end of the discharge line to direct water safely away from the home’s foundation.

• Benefits: This discreet and effective outlet ensures proper drainage while blending seamlessly into the yard.

Following the completion of the project, the Wardsboro homeowners were extremely pleased with the results:

• Dry Basement: The combination of the TripleSafe and WaterGuard systems effectively resolved water intrusion issues.

• Reliable Protection: IceGuard and LawnScape components ensured the system’s performance remained consistent throughout the seasons.
