Cracked foundation wall

Fast simple approach to a cracked and leaking foundation wall. Permanent solution at a reasonable price. I was impressed with service time, solution, and overall results. I would recommend Clarke Basement Systems without hesitation.

Basement Leak

I was looking after my neighbour’s house in the summer. One day when I was doing a walk through, I found water in the basement. I called them and asked if I should get it fixed. They wanted it fixed immediately. I called Clarke Basement systems. They responded with in the week to fix this small crack. Within a few hours the leak was stopped, the guys had packed up and every thing was clean. Great job. I also got brownie points from my neighbor. I have recommend them to a number of people and every one has been happy.

Basement Cracks & Waterproffing

When our house sale was scuppered because of a leaky basement, leaks that we had no idea existed prior to the house inspection, our stress level was enormous. Clarke Basement Systems came to our rescue.

Pre-work consultation was detailed and informative, the work was done exactly when and how they promised and at the exact price of the estimate, no hidden extras.

Professional, dependable and timely. Based on my personal experience you can count on this company - no bull!

Basement waterproofing

our basement suffered from chronic leaking after every heavy downpour. We called Clarke basement systems, Don came and did a through on site visit, he laid a plan and described to me a water mangement system. We had it installed and our basement has been dry ever since, I actually look forward to heavy downpours to see his water management system kick into gear and keep our basement dry. Clarke Basement systems has the solutions don't go anywhere else.

Basement waterproofing

We had a lot of water damage in our finished basement from a hairline crack in the wall. Clarke's came very quickly not only to assess and give us a reasonable quote but to also fix the job before the damage got any worse. Thanks to Clarke's we don't have to worry about mould or dampness. These guys are a great team, who are very courteous, friendly, and clean up after the job is done. You'll not go wrong with this company.

'CleanSpace' in my crawl space.

April 12, 2007

Don Clark,
Clarke Basement Systems,
284 Main St. N.,
Markham, Ontario
L3P 2Y8

Dear Don

Thank you for a job well done on my crawlspace. Your crew of Rob, Graham and Aldo did a fabulous job and are a credit to Clarke Basement Systems.

The CleanSpace product is not inexpensive, but I know I got what I paid for because I have already seen some results of having this product installed. There is definitely less moisture up in my living space now and I have noticed a reduction of moisture on my windows as well. I know this will also reduce my heating and air conditioning bills as well.

Something that was not mentioned to me was how your product helps drastically reduce radon gas. Here in Lagoon City we live on a peat bog that causes radon gas and so this product is a great added feature worth mentioning to everyone who should have CleanSpace in their crawl space.

Your CleanSpace system certainly will “pay for itself”.

Thanks again for a job well done.

Sincerely,

Tibor Patacsi
19 Pinetree Crt.
Lagoon City.

Basement Waterproofing

We have a home in North Toronto with a 5 year old addition. Despite our contractor's best efforts to waterproof (weeping tile inside and out) we were still getting water in the new part of our basement during heavy rainfalls. Finally enough was enough & it was time to do something...even though it meant gutting our 5 year old basement. I researched the options like crazy and definitely made the right choice. In fact we were so pleased with the results we wound up waterproofing and refinishing the old part of the basement as well.
We have done extensive renovations to our home over the past 10 years & Clarke Basement Systems were the best we have dealt with of any contractors. The job was finished on time, on budget and with full cleanup and excellent after sales service. Our basement is totally dry and comfortable and I don't lay awake anymore when it rains expecting to find wet carpet in the basement. It's unbelievable what a difference it has made. Definitely money well spent.
