Before & After Photos

This 1865 home with permeable fieldstone foundation and dirt floor suffers from seasonal flooding, resulting in the space being unusable for over 10 years. The homeowners were looking to expand the storage area in their home and the first place they turned was their damp basement. 

Northern Basement Systems provided them with a FREE estimate and project proposal to keep their basement dry year-round, making it much cleaner to allow them to use the space as storage without the fear of damage to their belongings. 

Our team proposed and installed a drainage system with a SmartSump Pump and an UltraSump Battery Back-up pump. With these pumps in place, the space will stay dry through heavy rain, spring thaw, power outages, pump failure and more! The floors and walls of this basement were also encapsulated with our CleanSpace encapsulation system to prevent both water and humidity from entering the space via the foundation wall. The space also lacked insulation causing cold floors in the home above, so our team used a closed-cell polyurethane spray foam in the rim joist area to prevent cold air and moisture from entering. Additionally, Northern Basements recommended a SaniDry Dehumidifier to reduce humidity in the space and banish that gross, musty basement smell. 

This space is now a clean, dry, and safe storage area for these homeowners! Call 855-DRY-TIME to find a solution that can make your basement space usable and healthier!
