Clarke Basement Systems

Our home is over 120 years old and I think the basement has been leaking for just about that long. We bought it over 3 years ago and there wasn't any mention of the wet/leaking basement in our inspection report (not impressed)! We finally decided to bight the bullet and get the thing looked at knowing that it would be no small job. Claude came around to inspect our basement and do a few tests. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He explored a few available options with us and was always very timely, courteous and professional in his responses (and there were a few).

My husband and I talked aver the options and decided to go with the WaterGuard internal waterproofing solution with ThermalDry on the walls, a sump pump and a dehumidifier. It’s the Rolls Royce of interior waterproofing! We plan on framing the basement, adding drywall and basically semi-finishing it, so the cheaper wall option worked out better for our uneven wall surfaces.

Jose and Lucio worked very hard over the week to get the job finished one day early. They were also very knowledgeable, funny and professional. As I said before, it is a very old house and they worked hard in not so pleasant a space to do a fantastic job. I was very excited when I heard the sump pump expel water the first time to test it.

I would definitely recommend them again. Next step is to work with Claude on the city rebate and the inspection and all is done.
