Before & After Photos

When looking to turn their nasty smelling, wet crawlspace into a dry, clean space with clean air, a homeowner in Pownal, Vermont, hired Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.

This crawl space had inadequate structural support, contributing to sagging floors above, and was exposed to the elements, allowing moisture to enter. Our team installed SmartJack® crawl space support posts to permanently stabilize and properly support the structure, then completed a CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation to isolate the area from ground moisture. The result is a stronger, more stable home with a cleaner, better-controlled crawl space.

This West Rupert, Vermont, crawl space had visible mold growth and staining across the wooden floor system, along with damp conditions caused by an unfinished crawl space. Our crew used the NuWood® soda-blasting treatment to remove the mold from the wooden surfaces before installing the CleanSpace® Crawl Space Encapsulation System to create a cleaner, drier, and better-protected area beneath the home

Push Piers are made of steel and are driven very far into the ground until it hits stable soil or bedrock.  The push piers on this job were used in both the interior and exterior of the building to lift it back to the original position.  The team removed soil from around the exterior walls then used a heavy-duty steel bracket that is installed below and against the building foundation's footing.  Next, steel piers are driven hydraulically through the bracket into the stable soil.  The weight of the building is transferred through the piers to competent soil.  Then our team lifted the building back to a level state, backfilled the soil, and now the building is permanently stabilized.

Homeowners in South Burlington, Vermont, reached out to Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems in search of a permanent solution to staircase cracking on their basement walls.  To permanently stabilize the basement walls Northern Basement Systems installed a series of Carbon Armor with an armor lock anchor system.
