Northland Basement Systems Before & After Photos

Having foundation problems can be a frightening thing! The wall in the before photo is the result of soil expanding and putting added pressure, which in turn caused the wall to crack and buckle. Our design specialist, Corey Pylkas, recommended the Geo-Lock Wall Anchor System. Geo-Lock Wall Anchors stabalize foundation walls by connecting two steel plates together with a galvanized steel rod. Based on the severity of the wall movement, excavation was recommended, allowing the wall to be immediately straightened.  

If you use your basement to store valuable items, such as family photos and keepsakes, holiday decorations and tools, water and excess moisture can damage your belongings. Northland Basement Systems makes it possible to have a dry basement, and we can help you make the most out of this extra space in your home. We solve all kinds of basement water problems, including those caused by condensation, runoff and subsurface drainage issues.

For basement waterproofing to be effective, it should capture groundwater before it leaks onto the basement floor. WaterGuard® was designed to solve the issues not addressed in alternative methods of waterproofing and to protect the basement against all possible leaks.

Unlike “waterproof” membranes or coatings that allow hydrostatic pressure to build up against the foundation (increasing the chances of high-volume leaks), an interior basement drainage system reduces hydrostatic pressure. It does this by giving ground water an escape route.
