When a homeowner in St. Albans City, Vermont, wanted to find a solution for cold drafts and nasty smells coming from their crawlspace, they hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
This 1865 home with permeable fieldstone foundation and dirt floor suffers from seasonal flooding, resulting in the space being unusable for over 10 years. The homeowners were looking to expand the storage area in their home and the first place they turned was their damp basement.
Northern Basement Systems provided them with a FREE estimate and project proposal to keep their basement dry year-round, making it much cleaner to allow them to use the space as storage without the fear of damage to their belongings.
Our team proposed and installed a drainage system with a SmartSump Pump and an UltraSump Battery Back-up pump. With these pumps in place, the space will stay dry through heavy rain, spring thaw, power outages, pump failure and more! The floors and walls of this basement were also encapsulated with our CleanSpace encapsulation system to prevent both water and humidity from entering the space via the foundation wall. The space also lacked insulation causing cold floors in the home above, so our team used a closed-cell polyurethane spray foam in the rim joist area to prevent cold air and moisture from entering. Additionally, Northern Basements recommended a SaniDry Dehumidifier to reduce humidity in the space and banish that gross, musty basement smell.
This space is now a clean, dry, and safe storage area for these homeowners! Call 855-DRY-TIME to find a solution that can make your basement space usable and healthier!
When a homeowner in Lebanon, New Hampshire, wanted to get rid of cold drafts and nasty smells coming from the crawlspace of their home, they hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
Kim in Waterbury Center, Vermont contacted us to book a FREE estimate, after noticing some cracks developing in the crawlspace foundation under her home.
Our team visited the home and crawlspace to access the concerns and measure the space, then provided that FREE estimate with no obligation. Kim was excited about the solutions we had to offer and got her project scheduled right away!
Next, our installation team went out and installed the products to stabilize the foundation and keep the space dry and clean! First, the team installed 4 SmartJack Support Posts to repair the foundation, prevent further sagging in the floor joists, and attempt to raise the joists and home back to their original position. Once the foundation was stabilized, the team installed a CleanSpace CrawlSpace encapsulation system to prevent any water or vapor from entering the home and make the crawlspace much cleaner. This encapsulation system also included a SmartSump Pump to prevent puddling under the encapsulation system.
With these systems in place, this whole home is now much safer and healthier!
A nasty old crawl space can give homeowners many issues. The crawl space, located in downtown Montpelier, Vermont was having a few of them. The owner expressed concern of bad odors coming from the crawlspace and very cold, drafty floors. Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems went in and installed a Crawlspace Encapsulation System. This will take care of bad odors and put an end to the cold drafty floors.
