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

Challenge

A Sutton, Vermont, homeowner faced persistent water intrusion in their basement, particularly during heavy rain and spring thaws. The water accumulation created damp conditions, threatening the home's structural integrity and causing concern for future damage. The homeowner sought a long-term solution and contacted Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems for professional help.

Challenges:

1. Persistent water seepage into the basement.

2. Harsh Vermont winters are causing frozen discharge lines.

3. There is a need to redirect water away from the foundation to preserve landscaping.

Solution

Our team designed and implemented a comprehensive waterproofing system to address the homeowner’s concerns:

1. TripleSafe Sump Pump System:

   • Installed the TripleSafe Sump Pump, a robust system equipped with three pumps, including a battery-powered backup pump. This ensures the basement stays dry even during power outages or extreme weather events.

2. Waterguard System: The waterguard interior drainage system was installed along the perimeter of the basement floor. This system captures water seepage and directs it to the Triplesafe for removal.
3. IceGuard Discharge Line:

   • Added the IceGuard fitting to the discharge line to prevent water backup caused by freezing in the winter months. IceGuard provides an alternative escape route for water, ensuring the system functions efficiently year-round.

4. LawnScape Outlet:

   • The discharge line was extended away from the home’s foundation, ending with a discreet LawnScape outlet. This outlet effectively disperses water without disrupting the home’s landscaping or creating unsightly pooling.

After the installation was completed, the homeowner’s basement remained dry and protected, even during subsequent heavy rainfall. The TripleSafe system, with its reliable and redundant pumping capabilities, provided peace of mind. The IceGuard and LawnScape components ensured year-round functionality while maintaining the property’s aesthetic appeal. The homeowner expressed gratitude for Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems' professional and efficient work. They appreciated the clear communication throughout the process and were thrilled with the results. This project highlights our expertise in delivering tailored waterproofing solutions for Vermont’s unique climate. By combining advanced systems like TripleSafe, IceGuard, and LawnScape, we provide homeowners with lasting protection and peace of mind.
