Basement Waterproofing in Keene, New Hampshire, with Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

Challenge

A homeowner in Keene, New Hampshire, had transformed their basement into a fully equipped home gym—an inspiring space for daily workouts and wellness. But that motivation took a hit when water started seeping into the basement. Heavy rains and melting snow would leave puddles along the walls, soaking into the floors and putting gym equipment at risk. The space was no longer safe, dry, or usable.

Solution

The Northern Basement Systems team quickly identified the issue: groundwater pressure and ineffective drainage were causing water to enter through the foundation. To permanently solve the problem, we installed a custom waterproofing system featuring:

• TripleSafe Sump Pump System: This powerhouse setup includes three pumps in one, ensuring the basement stays dry even during power outages or extreme storms.

• WaterGuard Interior Drain System: Installed below the floor along the perimeter, WaterGuard collects water before it reaches the basement floor and directs it safely to the TripleSafe system.

• IceGuard Discharge Line Protection: Designed to keep the system working through freezing New Hampshire winters, IceGuard allows water to escape even if the discharge line freezes.

The transformation was immediate. The basement gym is now completely dry, with no threat of water damage. The homeowner can focus on fitness without worrying about weather conditions. And thanks to our proven waterproofing system, they have peace of mind knowing their investment—and health—is protected for the long haul. At Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems, we don’t just fix basements—we help homeowners reclaim the spaces that matter most. Whether it's a home gym, family room, or storage space, we make it dry, safe, and usable again.
