In Burlington, Vermont, Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems recently completed a significant project for a homeowner dealing with two big problems: water intrusion, bowing, and cracked basement walls. Our experts devised a plan to make this basement dry and structurally sound.
First, we tackled the water issues by installing a top-notch waterproofing system. This included a perimeter drainage system to direct water away from the foundation, a reliable sump pump to keep water out, and a durable vapor barrier to seal moisture. With these measures in place, the basement is now protected against leaks and excess humidity, creating a healthier environment for the whole home.
But we didn't stop there. We also reinforced the cracked, bowing walls using our PowerBrace system—a series of steel beams that stabilize and gradually straighten the walls over time.
Matt Clarks' Northern Basement Systems received a call from a homeowner in Burlington, Vermont, concerned about their existing lally columns. Northern Basement Systems replaced all of the old lally columns with Smart Jacks.
When a Burlington, Vermont, homeowner wanted to repair their cracked and bowing basement wall, they hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.
The homeowners in Burlington, Vermont started to notice over the years that cracks had developed throughout the house in different areas. In some places, the molding had completely separated from the ceiling. This made them very concerned with what was happening to their home. Through diligent research, they found that Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems was by far the most reputable and reliable company to service them.
After an inspection from one of Northern Basements System Design Specialist and an Engineer, they found that the house had in fact sunk up to 1 3/4 inches in some places on the foundation. To fix the problem the team installed 119 Slab piers and poly level raising the floor back to a level position. When the team finished raising the slab you could clearly see that the molding had sealed up tight to the ceiling.
