Clarke Basement Systems Before & After Photos

For this sinking front step, we used our patented PolyLevel® Injection. PolyLevel® stabilized and lifted the step three inches to match the adjoining walkway and two driveway slabs. 

Some home repairs we look forward to working on, while others we can’t wait to get over with and move along.

In Georgetown, Ontario, a customer reached out to us to deal with a water seepage problem in their basement. Water was seeping in through the centre of the floor where cracks had formed in the concrete, and the customer was concerned about long-term damage.

After meeting with System Design Specialist Don Clarke, the customer was ready to set up a date for the repair. 

Foreman Rob Trevisan dug a lateral ditch throughout the floor where he installed our WaterGuard® Drain System. The drain was run to a TripleSafe® Sump Pump, and we added an UltraSump® Battery Backup for peace of mind. Lastly, the walls were encapsulated with ThermalDry® Wall Membrane to both seal and insulate the walls. 

The customer is thrilled with how quickly the entire repair process went and he appreciates the hard work from the entire Clarke Basement Systems team.

Purchasing a new home is exciting. Whether it’s a brand-new townhouse in the city or a vintage 100-year-old farmhouse, it’s a huge milestone. We can’t wait to move in and make the place our own, but sometimes some issues need to be tackled before settling in.

A customer in Neustadt, Ontario, had just purchased a home built in the 1970s. There was an original basement and an additional crawl space, with both concrete and dirt floors. The customer was moving into the new home soon but wanted to have his new home waterproofed first. After speaking with our team at the Fall Cottage Life Show, he decided to reach out to us and set up a free inspection.

System Design Specialist Robert Langton inspected the customer’s new home. The customer wanted the entire basement and crawl space to be dry, so Robert designed a system to make the customer’s wishes come true. 

Foreman Lucio Flores and his crew installed several waterproofing products that work together to keep the space dry. The entire perimeter was excavated, and a WaterGuard® Drain System was installed to collect any water. Since part of the crawl space has a dirt floor, Lucio laid down CleanSpace® Drainage Matting before encapsulating the entire area with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier. Crawl spaces often deal with high humidity, so the customer also chose an Aprilaire MoistureLoc® Dehumidifier.

To keep the water moving out of the home, a TripleSafe® Sump Pump was installed along with an UltraSump® Battery Backup. As an extra measure, we also installed a SmartDrain® in the crawl space and SilverGlo™ Window Insulation to help save energy. Finally, an IceGuard® Discharge Line was put in place to prevent a backup from freezing.

The customer is thrilled that his new home is dry. He can’t wait to move in and make the place his own, and he can do so without worrying about a basement flood!
