Basement Waterproofing in Island Pond, Vermont, with Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Challenge
A homeowner in Island Pond, Vermont, faced persistent basement flooding and dampness that threatened the structural integrity of their home and limited usable space. Seeking a permanent solution, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems. The basement had a history of water intrusion during heavy rains and snowmelt, compounded by poor drainage and hydrostatic pressure, which contributed to consistent dampness and musty odors. The homeowner needed a long-term solution to maintain a healthy environment and protect their home investment.
Solution
To address these issues, the team at Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems designed and implemented a comprehensive waterproofing system tailored to the property's unique needs.
-
TripleSafe Sump Pump System: Installed to provide triple-layered protection, ensuring the basement stays dry even during power outages or pump failures.
-
WaterGuard System: A sub-floor drainage system designed to capture water seepage and direct it to the sump pump for efficient removal.
-
CleanSpace Wall System: This was added to create a vapor barrier, preventing moisture from entering the basement and improving overall energy efficiency.
-
IceGuard: Installed to ensure water exits safely from the sump pump discharge line, even during freezing conditions.
-
LawnScape Outlet: Positioned to disperse water away from the home's foundation, reducing the risk of re-infiltration.
After implementing these systems, the homeowner experienced a dry, usable basement for the first time in years. The transformation allowed them to confidently utilize the space for storage and recreation. They were thrilled with the results and praised the professionalism and efficiency of the installation team.
