Before & After Photos

When a homeowner in Lyndoville, Vermont, wanted to ensure that their basement stayed dry the next time it rained, they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

A crawl space in Newport, Vermont was being supported by old wood posts.  Northern Basement Systems came in and replaced the old wood post with Smart Jacks.  Each SmartJack post rests on a precast concrete pad that is set on a base of compacted stone. This engineered structural system won’t settle like masonry piers can; nor will it rot or shift like a wood post.  All SmartJack parts are protected against rust with a thick galvanized coating.

Homeowners in Newport, VT, were looking for a solution to their wet, cold, and humid crawl space.  They felt the floor upstairs had a sag to it too.  When the homeowners went into the crawl space, it was an unpleasant surprise to find the sump pump in place was working, but not keeping up with the water coming in. 

Also, the support beams for the floor joists were made of wood and had started to show signs of fatigue.  This made them feel uncomfortable with the safety of the home.  They decided to make a call to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems for their FREE ESTIMATE. 

Northern Basement Systems sent out a System Design Specialist and access the situation and propose a permanent solution for the customers crawl space concerns.  To fix the water issue, Northern Basement Systems installed a Crawl Space  Drainage System with a TripleSafe Sump Pump.  To control the humidity, the customers went with a SaniDy Sedona dehumidifier. Smart Jacks were put in to replace the decaying support beams.   

After purchasing their first home in Gilmanton, New Hampshire, the family wanted to change the dingy, dank basement into a dry, clean office space for a business operated from home.  After a great recommendation from their realtor, they hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

A customer in Barton, Vermont was getting ahead of the game.  They were starting a new housing project on land where they had already had a home that with water issues.  Wanting to feel extremely confident they would not have any water issues they contacted Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.  Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems had taken care of their water issue in their previous home, so it was a no-brainer what company they would use in their new building.  Matt's team of experts installed a Full Perimeter Water Guard System paired with a state-of-the-art TripleSafe Sump Pump before the slab was poured.  The home is now fully prepared and the owners are confident the system will take care of any water that may try to invade their new building.
