Basement Waterproofing in Stowe, Vermont, with Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Challenge
A rental property in Stowe, Vermont, was experiencing persistent water intrusion in the basement, putting the building's structural integrity and the tenants’ comfort at risk. The property owner needed a permanent waterproofing solution to ensure a dry, healthy environment and protect their investment.
Solution
To address these challenges, Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems installed a tailored waterproofing system featuring:
-
TripleSafe Sump Pump System: A high-performance sump pump system with three levels of protection, ensuring continuous operation even during a pump failure or power outage.
-
WaterGuard Interior Drain System: A perimeter drainage system that channels water seepage to the sump pump, keeping the basement dry.
-
Trench Drain: Installed at key entry points to capture surface water and direct it away from the basement.
-
IceGuard Discharge Line Protection: Prevents water backup due to frozen discharge lines in Vermont’s harsh winter conditions.
-
LawnScape Discharge Outlet: This outlet is strategically placed to ensure water is discharged away from the foundation while blending into the landscape.
After installation, the basement remained dry through multiple heavy rain events and winter thaws. The property owner was relieved to have a long-term solution, eliminating concerns about water damage and tenant complaints. The reliable, low-maintenance system allows the owner to confidently focus on managing their rental property.
By implementing a comprehensive waterproofing system, Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems successfully protected this rental property in Stowe, Vermont, from ongoing water intrusion. This project highlights the importance of investing in professional basement waterproofing to safeguard property value and ensure a comfortable living space for tenants.
