In Brattleboro, Vermont, a century-old farmhouse had weathered the test of time. Its charm and character had been preserved over the years, but the home’s foundation was beginning to show signs of its age. The floors on the main level had started to sag, creating an uneven surface and concerns about structural integrity. The crawlspace beneath the home had become damp, raising fears of moisture damage.

The homeowners turned to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for a solution. Known for their expertise in crawlspace repair, the team arrived on-site to assess the situation. After a thorough inspection, they recommended a combination of SmartJacks to address the sagging floors and a comprehensive waterproofing system to protect the crawlspace.

The SmartJacks system was installed to provide stable and adjustable support. The crew carefully positioned each SmartJack beneath the floor joists, lifting and leveling the floors to their original position. This not only restored the home's stability but also eliminated the unsightly sagging that had plagued the main level.

Next, the team focused on waterproofing the crawlspace. They installed a durable vapor barrier to prevent moisture from seeping into the space. A perimeter drainage system and a powerful sump pump ensured that any water entering the crawlspace would be swiftly and efficiently removed.

When Matt Clark’s team completed their work, the farmhouse stood on solid ground again, and the crawlspace was dry and secure. The homeowners could now enjoy the comfort and peace of mind of knowing their historic home was protected for years.
