Crawlspace Repair in Champlain, New York, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems
Challenge
The homeowners in Champlain, New York, were dealing with sagging floors and a damp, deteriorating crawlspace that was affecting their home's comfort and health. They turned to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for a solution to address structural issues and create a dry, protected crawlspace environment.
The project posed two significant challenges:
-
Structural Instability: The crawlspace’s aging supports were failing, causing uneven and sagging floors in the home above.
-
Moisture Intrusion: The crawlspace walls and floor were unprotected, allowing moisture to seep and create a damp environment.
Solution
The Northern Basement Systems team designed and executed a comprehensive repair plan that included structural reinforcement and a CleanSpace Wall & Floor System.
1. Structural Support with the SmartJack System
-
Installation: Heavy-duty SmartJacks were strategically placed to reinforce and stabilize the failing floor joists.
-
Benefits: This solution restored the home’s structural integrity and provided the flexibility to adjust the supports as needed.
2. CleanSpace Floor and Wall System
-
Installation: The CleanSpace system was installed across the crawlspace floor and walls, creating a seamless, vapor-resistant barrier.
-
Benefits: This encapsulation eliminated moisture issues, improved the air quality in the home, and protected the crawlspace from future dampness.
The Champlain homeowners were thrilled with the results:
-
Restored Stability: The SmartJack system eliminated sagging floors and ensured long-term structural support.
-
Enhanced Protection: The CleanSpace encapsulation transformed the crawlspace into a clean, dry, and usable space.
-
Peace of Mind: The homeowners gained confidence in their home’s safety and comfort, knowing the crawlspace was reinforced correctly and protected.
Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems once again demonstrated their expertise with this project in Champlain, New York. By addressing structural and moisture challenges, they provided a permanent solution that exceeded the homeowners’ expectations and safeguarded their home for years.
