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

Challenge

 A family in Cavendish, Vermont, faced persistent water issues in their basement. Heavy rains and snowmelt often caused flooding, jeopardizing their storage and creating an uncomfortable living environment. Determined to find a permanent solution, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for help.

The basement faced significant obstacles due to the following factors:

• Frequent water intrusion through the walls and floor causes regular flooding.

• Heavy rainfall and snowmelt overwhelmed the existing drainage system.

• Persistent high humidity levels pose a threat to stored items and the structural integrity of the home.

• Concerns over the ability of any solution to perform effectively in Vermont's unpredictable and harsh weather conditions.

Solution

Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems team designed and installed a comprehensive waterproofing system tailored to the home's needs. The solution included:

1. TripleSafe Sump Pump System:

   • Equipped with three levels of protection, the TripleSafe ensures the basement remains dry even during power outages or pump failures. Its primary, secondary, and battery backup systems provide unmatched reliability.

2. WaterGuard Drainage System:

   • The WaterGuard system was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor. This interior drainage system efficiently collects water and directs it to the TripleSafe Sump Pump, preventing pooling or seepage.

3. IceGuard Discharge Line Protection:

   • IceGuard was installed on the discharge lines to ensure water exits the home even during freezing temperatures. Its unique design prevents backup caused by ice or snow blockages.

4. LawnScape Outlet:

   • Water collected by the system is discharged safely from the home through the LawnScape outlet. This discreet and durable outlet keeps the yard clean, ensuring adequate water dispersal.

Results: After the installation, the homeowners experienced immediate benefits:

• A completely dry basement, even during heavy rain.

• There are no signs of water seepage or humidity issues.

• Peace of mind knowing their waterproofing system was built to handle Vermont’s harsh weather.

Thanks to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems, the Cavendish, Vermont family now enjoys a safe, dry basement that adds value and comfort to their home. Combining the TripleSafe, WaterGuard, IceGuard, and LawnScape ensures long-term protection and reliability.
