Quality Crawl Space Repair & Basement Waterproofing in Lebanon, NH

For years, the Johnson family had enjoyed their charming home in Lebanon, New Hampshire. It had been passed down for generations, carrying a lifetime of memories. But over time, something unsettling began to happen—the floors on the main level were no longer level. They creaked and sagged underfoot, and doors that once swung open with ease now stuck stubbornly in their frames.

Concerned about the worsening condition of their home, the Johnsons reached out to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems for help. When our team arrived, we carefully examined the basement, uncovering the root of the problem. The wooden support beams, weakened by years of shifting soil and natural deterioration, could no longer bear the house's weight. If left unaddressed, the home's structural integrity would continue to decline.

Understanding the situation's urgency, our team proposed a permanent solution—the SmartJack Support System. The Johnsons were relieved to hear that not only would this system stabilize their home, but it would also allow for minor adjustments over time if needed. With their trust in our expertise, we got to work.

First, we carefully excavated the weak soil beneath the basement to create a stable foundation for the SmartJacks. We then poured concrete footings to provide a solid base of support. Once the footings were set, we installed high-strength, galvanized steel SmartJack posts beneath the main support beam. We carefully adjusted the SmartJacks to lift the sagging floors back into place.

As we made the final adjustments, the transformation was immediate. The once-sloping floors were now level, doors, and windows operated smoothly again, and the eerie creaks that had haunted the home for years had vanished. The Johnsons couldn’t believe the difference. More importantly, they now had peace of mind knowing their beloved family home was secure for generations.

With a heartfelt handshake and a sigh of relief, the Johnsons thanked our team for restoring their home’s foundation and their confidence in its future. If you’re facing similar foundation concerns, trust Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems to provide the solution you need—because every home deserves a strong foundation.

 The Watsons had long dealt with a basement in Lebanon, New Hampshire, that would flood whenever there was heavy rain. It had gotten to the point where they no longer used the space for storage, fearing their belongings would be ruined.

After evaluating the basement, the team installed a perimeter drainage system to capture and redirect water and a sump pump to remove any collected water. To ensure the basement stayed dry even during extreme weather, they also installed a battery backup for the sump pump in case of a power outage.

Now, the Watsons’ basement remains dry, no matter the weather. They’ve regained valuable storage space and no longer fear flooding.

Alexei woke up one morning to find that her finished basement had undergone some water damage. This ruined the carpet and left other items damp. She didn’t want to replace the carpet, because the same damages could happen again. She figured there must be something that could better protect her basement floor. After doing some research online, she found the solution. She quickly reached out to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems for help.

Alexei checked out the Northern Basement Systems’ website and found the ThermalDry floor tiles. These tiles are designed specifically for basements. They are warm, comfortable and stylish. Each tile is designed to sit on raised, plastic pegs, forming a small airspace underneath. In this airspace, water vapor circulates and dries out. This causes the tile to be eight to ten degrees warmer than the concrete below it. The tile is made from inorganic material; this will ensure that plumbing leaks or floods won’t damage it. The experts from Northern Basement Systems got right to work knowing that this was the right fit for Alexei’s finished basement.

Now Alexei can rest easily knowing that her finished basement won’t be susceptible to a little water damage. With the help of ThermalDry Tiles, Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems can turn any moldy, rotten, foul-smelling basement floor into a warm, beautiful one.
