We Are Rutland County's Most Experienced Basement Waterproofing & Foundation Repair Company

When Daniel C. of Rutland first called Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems, his home was suffering from two main problems: a wet basement and a bowing basement wall. Daniel already had three sump pumps that just weren’t getting the job done and didn’t know the best way to fix the bowing wall.

After the inspection, a plan to fix both problems was made. Heavy-duty power Braces zinc-plated steel beams custom-fit to any basement wall were suggested to stabilize the wall. Along with supporting the wall in its current position, the PowerBraces also allow for the possibility to improve the wall by tightening them during dry seasons. Then Waterguard around the perimeter of the basement and two Triplesafe pumps (due to the size of the cellar) were to be installed to keep the basement dry. The solution allowed for all water to go directly into the Waterguard and then flow to either of the Triplesafes to be pumped out of the basement safely and efficiently.

Daniel was very pleased with the job and was reassured that his basement wall was now more structurally sound and that his basement would stay dry.

A wet basement can cost a homeowner a lot of money in damage and causes a lot of headaches. Nate F. of Rutland was having exactly these problems when he called Northern Basement Systems and learned that the cure to his headaches was much easier than he suspected.

During the inspection, Matt showed Nate that with the patented WaterGuard system keeping basements dry is easy. WaterGuard is a piping system engineered specifically to solve basement water problems effectively without having to worry about clogging from soils under the floor. To pump the water out of the basement Matt suggested a SuperSump which can pump 2,650 gallons per hour smoothly and quietly.

The installation crew was able to get the job done in just one day and now Nate has a dry basement and is headache-free.    

Freezing pipes are a problem that many homeowners face at one time or another. In Maxine H.’s case, it was caused by a cold crawlspace underneath her kitchen. After years of freezing pipes, Maxine decided enough was enough and called Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems to help her solve the problem.

Matt suggested to Maxine that we remove all debris from the crawlspace, insulate it with spray foam insulation, and then seal it up with CleanSpace. With these two solutions, the spray foam helped keep the cold out and the heat in, and the CleanSpace created an airtight environment to help aid the spray foam in doing its job.

Forman Neil Sayers and his crew were able to get the job done in just one day and left Maxine and her family with a warmer crawlspace and pipes that won’t freeze!

This crawl space in Killington, Vermont had traditional fiberglass insulation that wasn't keeping the floors of the home warm, dirt floors that were damp and made the space unusable, and the block walls began to shift a bit and began to compromise the foundation of the home. 

Our team began with removing the fiberglass insulation, debris and raked the crawlspace floors to even the ground to prepare for the system installation. They stabilized the block foundation using both SmartJack Support Posts and a PowerBrace Wall Repair System. Then they installed a CleanSpace encapsulation system to lockout, standing water and humidity and make the space clean and usable. This encapsulation system was paired with SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier and SmartDrain. The dehumidifier will reduce humidity and filter the air to improve air quality in the home, and the SmartDrain will allow any water from the inside of the crawl space out in the event that a pipe in the home breaks. Additionally, our specialist installed an EverLast Access Well to help gain year-round access to the crawl space. Lastly, our team sprayed closed-cell polyurethane foam in the rim joist area to improve the homes efficiently and eliminate cold floors. 

With these systems installed, this crawl space and home are now safer, cleaner, dry and warm! Call 855-DRY-TIME today to schedule your FREE ESTIMATE!
