South Burlington, VT Insured Concrete Leveling & Basement Waterproofing

A homeowner in South Burlington, Vermont, noticed a persistent musty smell in their home, especially after rain. Upon inspection, the crawlspace was found damp with visible moisture on the floor and walls, creating an ideal environment for mold and mildew. Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems team recommended a CleanSpace Liner System to address the issue. They installed a heavy-duty vapor barrier across the crawlspace floor and walls, effectively sealing out moisture and reducing humidity levels. The result was a clean, dry crawlspace, significantly improving the indoor air quality and eliminating the musty odor from the home

In South Burlington, Vermont, the Robinson family had converted their basement into a home office, but frequent water intrusion made it difficult to use the space productively. Each rainstorm brought in water, threatening their office equipment and important documents. Desperate for a solution, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

The team from Northern Basement Systems arrived promptly and performed a thorough inspection. They found water entering the basement through cracks in the foundation and the floor-wall joint. The team proposed a waterproofing solution with an interior drainage system and a powerful sump pump to handle water intrusion.

The Robinson family appreciated the clear explanation and scheduled the installation. The crew worked diligently, installing the drainage system along the basement perimeter and setting up the sump pump. The team ensured minimal disruption to the family’s daily activities and completed the job efficiently.

The Robinson family noticed an immediate difference once the waterproofing system was in place. Their basement office remained dry, even during heavy rainstorms. Thanks to the effective and professional service from Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems, they could now work without fear of water damage.

The basement was transformed from a damp, unusable space into a dry, comfortable living area within a few days. The in-laws were thrilled with their new living space, and the Smiths were relieved to have solved their basement issue.

A new homeowner in South Burlington, Vermont noticed that one of the walls in the basement was cracked and bowing inward. She was worried about the safety and longevity of her new home's foundation. She contacted Northern Basement Systems and expressed her concerns with her foundation and we sent one of our system design specialists to see her foundation and develop a solution to repair the foundation. 

Our installation crew installed five PowerBraces to stabilize the failing foundation wall. A PowerBrace consists of a steel I-beam that is secured the joist above the wall with a steel bracket. This system will prevent any further bowing in the wall and has the potential to straighten the wall. This product is easily adjusted, making it possible to tighten the brace to attempt to raise the wall to its original position. Unlike many other foundation repair products, this system is installed inside and does not need any exterior excavation, making the install much quicker and less disruptive to the home and surrounding area.  

This new homeowner no longer has to worry about the safety or value of her home thanks to her PowerBrace Foundation Repair System! To find a solution for your foundation, call 855-DRY-TIME!

This property is a commercial building located in South Burlington, VT. The owner contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems in regards to a concrete slab that had settled approximately four inches on the Southside. After assessing the situation, we also noticed that the foundation had settled with it. The options for repair were to utilize one of the FOUNDATION SUPPORTWORKS pier systems. The helical pier which is also known as a helical pile or the hydraulic push pier. We also performed soil tests to see how far we would have to go down to reach load-bearing strata.  After consulting with a local engineer, the push pier was determined to be the right fix. We ended up going down between 27-35 feet to reach that level. Also, in conjunction with our PolyLevel, Northern Basements installed twenty-four foundation piers, forty-eight slab piers, and the void filled with our PolyLevel injection foam. 

Brian was facing a big problem: one of the walls in his basement had begun to bow. He wasn’t sure why this was happening or what he could do to stop it. However, he did know that a bowing wall is a big threat. So he decided to get professional help. After doing some research, he contacted Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems.

Matt Clark and his experts explained why the wall was bowing. When the soil just beyond the basement wall starts to shift and expand, it puts immense pressure on the wall. When enough pressure is applied, the wall begins to crack and bow. If too much pressure is applied, the wall could cave in all together putting the entire house at risk! So Matt Clark and the experts got right to work by installing ten PowerBraces and joist reinforcements to support those PowerBraces. These Power Braces, set to the height of the basement wall, were placed against the wall and were anchored into the floor. These zinc-plated steel rods will combat and contain the pressure of the exterior soil, keeping the wall intact and secure for years to come.

Eric was experiencing basement water. He reached out to Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems for several kinds of solutions.

Eric was interested in a sump pump that could remove the water from his basement. So Matt Clark and his team of experts installed their SuperSump pump and Waterguard systems. As the Waterguard collects the water, the pump channels it outside and away from the house. There was also a unique product that caught Eric’s eye: The ThermalDry Carpet Flooring System. The ThermalDry Carpet Floor Tiles will never rot, support mold growth, or release foul-smelling odor the way other basement carpeting does. It’s completely inorganic design includes no wood, chipboard, or other materials that could be damaged by plumbing leak or a basement flood.

With these installations intact, Eric will have a drier, healthier basement along with warmer floors! He couldn’t be happier with his decisions.

Jeff had lived in his house for four years before having a basement problem. He began experiencing water entering his basement. After looking online, he found Matt Clark’s Northern Basement Systems and decided to give them a call.

Jeff’s problem occurs all the time, to thousands of homeowners. As the outdoor soil unfreezes, it can seep through concrete foundations, putting Jeff’s belongings at risk of being damage. Matt Clark and his team knew just what to do. The experts installed a TripleSafe pump system with a discharge line, their Waterguard system, an Iceguard and their Cleanspace Liner. The Waterguard system collects the water from the base of the basement walls and pushes it to the TripleSafe pump system. TripleSafe, which is a combination of three pumps, one pump is a primary pump, accompanied by two backup-battery powered pumps, the primary pump channels the water through a discharge line. The water is safely disposed of at a safe distance to the outdoor surface.
