Crawlspace Repair and Humidity Control in Keene, New Hampshire, by Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

Challenge

A homeowner in Keene, New Hampshire, was experiencing structural issues due to sagging floors and excessive humidity in their crawl space. These issues not only compromised the stability of their home but also created an uncomfortable indoor environment. The homeowner noticed uneven and bouncy floors throughout their home, indicating weakened support in the crawl space. Additionally, high humidity levels were leading to damp conditions, which could contribute to wood rot and further structural weakening over time. A permanent solution was needed to stabilize the foundation and maintain a dry environment.

Solution

To restore the home’s stability and prevent excessive moisture, Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems implemented the following solutions:

• SmartJack Support System: This adjustable steel support system was installed to reinforce the failing floor joists and beams, providing immediate stabilization and allowing for future adjustments.

• CleanSpace Vapor Barrier System: This durable liner was installed throughout the crawl space to block moisture from the ground effectively, reducing humidity levels and creating a cleaner, more energy-efficient environment.

After installation, the homeowner immediately noticed a difference. The floors inside the home were level and stable, eliminating the previous sagging and bounciness. The CleanSpace system successfully controlled humidity levels, significantly improving the overall air quality and comfort of the home.

The homeowner was thrilled with the outcome and expressed appreciation for the expertise and efficiency of Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems team. With their crawl space now stabilized and protected from excessive moisture, they have peace of mind knowing their home is structurally sound and energy-efficient.
