Before & After Photos

Lyndonville, Vermont homeowner was concerned about the water entering his basement in serval locations during the spring months as snow began to melt. The basement is partly finished with 2x4 wood framing, this wood getting wet could promote the growth of mold over time, if the homeowners did not find a solution to keep the basement dry. 

Our System Design Specialist recommended a WaterGuard Drainage System along the back and side walls where the water was entering. This system is installed just underneath the perimeter edge of the basement floor to collect water before it enters the basement. Additionally, we recommended a TripleSafe Sump Pump System, with no battery back-up pump. The home is solar powered so the homeowners had little to no concern about the possibility of a power outage. 

With this system in place, the home will be protected from winter thaw for years!

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.
