Basement Waterproofing in Groveton, New Hampshire, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Challenge
A local business owner in Groveton, New Hampshire, faced a recurring issue every spring: water would seep into the basement of their office building. Heavy rains and melting snow caused pooling water infiltration, threatening valuable equipment, inventory, and operations. The water disrupted their daily operations and led to increased cleanup costs and concern for long-term structural damage.
The business owner contacted Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems after hearing about our expertise in providing long-term waterproofing solutions for residential and commercial properties. Our team visited the site to assess the extent of the problem. During the inspection, we identified water entering through cracks in the basement floor and pooling in low-lying areas. Without an adequate drainage and pump system, the water had nowhere to go, leaving the basement vulnerable to frequent flooding.
Solution
Our crew got to work implementing the TripleSafe Sump Pump System, which offers three levels of protection:
- Primary Pump: A high-capacity pump to handle day-to-day water removal during moderate conditions.
- Secondary Pump: This is a backup pump that activates if the primary pump becomes overwhelmed, ensuring continued operation during heavy rains.
- Battery Backup Pump: A failsafe to keep the system running during power outages—a critical feature for businesses that can't afford downtime.
In addition, we installed a perimeter drainage system to direct any water entering the basement directly to the sump pump for efficient removal. After the installation was complete, the business owner immediately noticed a difference. Heavy rainstorms that previously caused hours of downtime and costly water damage were no longer a concern.
The TripleSafe Sump Pump System and our expert drainage solution ensured their basement remained dry and operational regardless of weather conditions. The customer expressed relief knowing their business was now protected, allowing them to focus on what they do best without worrying about water intrusion.
