Basement Waterproofing & Structural Support in Keene, New York, with Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
When the Keene, New York, homeowners noticed sagging floors and persistent moisture issues in their crawlspace, they knew it was time to seek professional help. They contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for a permanent solution that would provide structural support and comprehensive waterproofing.
The crawlspace presented a dual challenge:
-
Structural Instability: The existing floor supports were inadequate, causing noticeable sagging throughout the home.
-
Water Intrusion: Persistent moisture in the crawlspace was leading to damp conditions, threatening the integrity of the home and the comfort of its occupants.
Solution
To address these issues, the Northern Basement Systems team developed a comprehensive plan tailored to the unique needs of the Keene property.
1. Structural Support with the SmartJack System
-
Installation: Heavy-duty SmartJacks were strategically placed to provide reliable and adjustable support to the failing beams.
-
Benefits: These galvanized steel supports restored stability to the home’s floors and allowed for future adjustments as needed.
2. Advanced Waterproofing System
-
TripleSafe Sump Pump: To handle water intrusion efficiently, a state-of-the-art system featuring three levels of protection—primary, secondary, and battery backup—was installed.
-
CleanSpace Wall and Floor System: A durable vapor-barrier liner was applied to the crawlspace walls and floors, creating a clean and moisture-resistant environment.
-
IceGuard and LawnScape: The IceGuard system ensured water could exit the sump pump discharge line even in freezing temperatures. At the same time, the LawnScape outlet provided a discreet and effective endpoint for water drainage.
Following the completion of the project, the Keene homeowners were thrilled with the transformation:
-
Enhanced Stability: The SmartJack system restored the home’s structural integrity, eliminating sagging floors.
-
Dry Environment: The combination of the TripleSafe Sump Pump and CleanSpace system effectively resolved the moisture issues, protecting the home from future water damage.
