The crawlspace beneath the old farmhouse in Bartlett, New Hampshire, was a nasty, cold, drafty, and wet place. For years, the homeowners tried to ignore it, hoping the problems would disappear. But as the winter winds began to howl and the snow started to pile up, they knew they could no longer ignore the issue.

So, they called in Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems experts to take a look.

One of Northern Basement's system design technicians arrived on a blustery winter morning. They suited up in their protective gear and headed into the crawlspace, their powerful flashlights cutting through the darkness.
