Before & After Photos

Looking to seal up the walls and lay a new concrete floor in their garage, a homeowner in Warren, Vermont, called Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems.  Northern Basement Systems poured a new slab, wrapped all of the garage walls with a Clean Space System, and then sprayed the joists with closed-cell polyurethane insulation.  

A Woodstock, Vermont homeowner contacted Northern Basement Systems to schedule a FREE estimate to see how Matt and his team could improve his basement space. At the time the basement had a dirt floor and a large portion of the area was crawlspace with minimal clearance. After a system design specialist visited the home he found a solution to improve the whole basement and make it more usable and eliminate the dirt floor.

The installation specialists at Northern Basement Systems installed WaterGuard on the perimeter of the basement for drainage, and 10-foot SmartJacks were installed for added support beneath the home. Next, the specialist installed Delta mat and PEX radiant heating tubing. Lastly, the crew poured concrete over the Delta and PEX give a clean and finished look to the space. Matt Clark and his team were able to give this space an entire makeover to meet the customer's needs!

Matt Clark's Northern Basement Systems came to the rescue for an elderly couple in Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, when her cracked and bowing basement wall was deemed unsafe by a structural engineer.  Northern Basement Systems installed a PowerBrace System to ensure the wall was properly supported and safe for the owner. 

Tom of Essex, Vermont contacted Matt Clark and his team at Nothern Basement System, after noticing the worsening condition of his basement wall. We provided Tom with a FREE ESTIMATE to inspect his foundation, both inside and outside to establish the source of his bowing foundation wall and then further develop a plan to resolve his concerns. 

Our system design specialist proposed to install a PowerBrace System to stabilize the foundation wall and prevent further bowing and cracking and our team did just that! This system can also have the potential to straighten the foundation wall over time. 

This PowerBrace System consisted of 5 steel I-beam secured to the floor joists above, using steel brackets. This system installation is interior with no exterior excavation, making for a quick and minimally invasive installation.

This PowerBrace System provided Tom with a stronger and safer foundation to support his home for years to come! Over time through yearly maintenance and system tightening, we hope to return this wall to its original upright position.  

Dan of Essex, Vermont saw Northern Basement Systems working on a neighbors basement and then further enquired if we might be able to help him in his basement. His cinderblock foundation had a wall that was cracked and bowing, he was concerned about the safety and worsening damage. 

We provided Dan with a FREE estimate, once Dan approved the proposal, we scheduled the project and installed a PowerBrace Foundation Wall System. This system consisted of 5 steel I-beams that were secured to the above floor joists with steel brackets. 

This system is the ideal solution for this failing foundation wall. The PowerBraces will stabilize the wall to prevent further damage and has the potential to be tightened over time to potentially straighten the wall. This solution is also minimally invasive, with no exterior excavation, also making the installation much quicker. 

Dan is excited to have a much safer foundation under his home for years to come!
