Living away from family can be tough. Our lives can take us to different places across the world, and we may not end up seeing each other too often. It can be worrying, but it’s nice knowing that they’re doing well.
An elderly couple in Toronto lives in a 100-year-old home with a dirt floor crawl space. Their son lives abroad, but he was concerned for their health. The dirt floor was allowing moisture to seep into the crawl space, and the air quality was only getting worse. The musty smell was present throughout the entire house, so the son reached out to Clarke Basement Systems for a solution.
System Design Specialist Ron Monk met with the couple and inspected their home. He showed them some of their options, and they decided on a system to keep their crawl space dry and prevent odours from spreading.
Foreman Lucio Flores and Installation Specialist Dymytro Bohatyrov first laid down CleanSpace® Drainage Matting across the entire crawl space floor. Drainage Matting allows any moisture that comes up from the ground to seep back into the groundwater. Once the matting was installed, the entire crawl space was encapsulated with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier. CleanSpace® keeps the dirt floor, and foundation walls contained, preventing any odours or water from entering the crawl space, and subsequently, the rest of the home.
Both the son and the parents are happy with the final product. The son can continue to live abroad without worrying about his parents, and the elderly couple can happily and safely continue to live in their home.
Our homes are an investment. They cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we spend thousands on upkeep each year.
Customers in Toronto, Ontario, were familiar with how much it can cost to upkeep a home. They had waterproofed their basement ten years ago, but the exterior system had started to fail. Looking to protect their finished basement, they reached out to Clarke Basement Systems.
System Design Specialist Ron Monk designed a system to waterproof the basement for good and protect the customer’s investment. Foreman Lucio Flores, and Installation Specialists Dyma Bohatyrov and Ion Sirbu, worked hard installing a WaterGuard® Drain System, ThermalDry® Wall Membrane, a TripleSafe® Sump Pump and an UltraSump® Battery Backup.
The customers are delighted that their basement is waterproof once again. They can continue to use their basement the way they want too and do so with the peace of mind of a lifetime warranty.
Who doesn’t love going to the cottage? From leaving work on a Friday afternoon to when you first walk through the door, we can’t wait to get away from it all and smell the fresh air.
For a customer in Fenelon Falls, Ontario, fresh air wasn’t all she was smelling. A broken, old sump pump was causing quite a stench in her cottage crawl space. The odour was spreading throughout the whole cottage and had become the main talking point when guests came to visit.
System Design Specialist Ryan Hanlon created a full waterproofing system for the customer that included a SmartSump® Sump Pump and an UltraSump® Battery Backup. Foreman Lucio Flores and his crew installed the products, removing not just water from the crawl space, but the musty smell too.
The customer is delighted that her cottage smells fresh once again. Her basement is waterproofed for many years to come, with a warranty too!
When you arrive at a cottage, the first thing you expect is the smell of nature as you get out of the car, and maybe a small fire burning in a wood stove. What you don’t expect is a musty smell coming from a crawl space, spreading throughout the entire cottage.
A customer in Fenelon Falls, Ontario, was dealing with a musty smelling basement. Water was entering the space, and the smell was starting to render the cottage unuseable. The cottage owner reached out to Clarke Basement Systems, and System Design Specialist Ryan Hanlon designed a full waterproofing system for the crawl space. The system included a complete encapsulation with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier, and R20 Wall Membrane to insulate the space, installed by Foreman Lucio Flores.
The customer is thrilled that her basement is now waterproofed. Not only did we eliminate the smell, but we also blocked a hole in the foundation that raccoons were using as an entryway to the crawl space. Some unhappy raccoons but a very happy customer!
When you head up north to the cottage, the last thing you want to do when you get there is deal with a damp crawl space. The smell can be horrible, and the humidity can cause severe damage to the building.
A customer in Fenelon Falls, Ontario, reached out to Clarke Basement Systems, looking for a solution for her wet crawl space. System Design Specialist Ryan Hanlon met with the customer and inspected her cottage. He designed a waterproofing system that included an Aprilaire® MoistureLoc Dehumidifier, which keeps the relative humidity below 55%. Foreman Lucio Flores installed the dehumidifier strategically in the crawl space, complimenting the rest of the waterproofing system.
The customer is delighted that she no longer needs to worry about damage to her cottage caused by moisture and mould, and the first thing she notices when she steps inside isn’t a musty smell.
Everyone has their own version of “The List.” It could be a shortlist of small household duties or a long list of serious repairs.
A customer in Oro-Medonte, Ontario, would tell friends and family that his crawl space is “on the list.” It had been that way since he purchased the home, but the time had come for it to find its way off the list. The dirt floor allowed cold air and moisture up into the rest of the home, leading to an increase is HVAC bills.
The customer reached out to Clarke Basement Systems and met with System Design Specialist Rob Malcomson. Rob inspected the crawl space and recommended our Crawl Space Encapsulation System. The customer was looking forward to the repair and booked a date with our Production Department.
Foreman Lucio Flores and his crew, Installation Specialists Russel VanderMeulen and Dymytro Bohatyrov, started by removing insulation and debris. The pink wall insulation was so wet it was actually sagging from the ceiling. We replaced the insulating material with ThermalDry® Wall Membrane, sealing out moisture while providing an R20 insulation rating. Drainage Matting was used to prevent water from pooling, and we installed a SmartDrain® to guide water out of the crawl space. Lastly, the entire area was encapsulated with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier, sealing out moisture and brightening the space.
The customer is thrilled to have a warmer, more efficient home. Heat no longer escapes through the crawl space, and he’s ready to move on to the next project on the list… someday.

The right temperature plays a vital role in keeping your home comfortable. We do our best to control our home’s climate with heating and air conditioning, but these tools aren’t always enough to compete against the elements.
A customer in Toronto, Ontario, noticed that the floors above her crawl space seemed colder than the rest of her home. There was also a foul odour leeching into the living area, which she assumed was coming from the crawl space. Unsure about how to remedy the problem, she decided to reach out to Clarke Basement Systems.
System Design Specialist Dean Merendino travelled to the customer’s home and completed a thorough inspection of the house and crawl space. Dean explained how our Crawl Space Encapsulation System would not only eliminate the odour and keep her floors warm, but it would also give her a useable storage space. The homeowner was delighted to hear about this solution, and booked a date for the installation.
Foreman Lucio Flores and Installation Specialist Dymytro Bohatyrov started the repair by laying down drainage matting on top of the dirt floor. This unique matting forces water to drain back into the ground rather than pool on the surface. The walls were encapsulated with ThermalDry® Wall Membrane, protecting them from moisture while adding an R20 layer of insulation. Lastly, Lucio and Dymytro encapsulated the floor and lower portion of the wall with CleanSpace® Vapour Barrier. This patented vapour barrier stops moisture from seeping into the space and gives the room a clean, finished appearance.
The customer is thrilled that her home is warm, and she has a new useable storage area. She couldn’t believe her eyes or her nose when she first walked into her house. “We are really happy with the way our crawl space turned out. The guys were great, efficient, and communication was excellent. Now we can use it as a storage space! The smell was much better right away... just wonderful.”
