Make Waterproofing an Integral Part of Finishing Your Basement

If you don’t waterproof before finishing your basement, you have an increased chance of dealing with wetness, dampness or even flooding. Cracked and leaking walls cause condensation and moisture build up which can damage the building’s structure, your furniture, electronics and other possessions.

If you are planning on finishing a basement in your home, cottage or commercial property, make sure you’ve taken the necessary steps to prevent moisture and water accumulation. It will save you the expense and stress associated with the fixing water damage later.

Clarke Basement Systems’ Waterproofing Solutions for Finishing a Basement

Clarke Basement Systems offers a full range of basement finishing solutions. We know what to look for before finishing a basement and take all the necessary steps to keep it warm, dry and problem-free.

• We install a top quality Thermal Dry Basement Floor Matting which is a water and mould resistant plastic basement sub-floor. The 12-inch square tiles lock together tightly and have a grid pattern on the bottom. This allows air flow below the matting and prevents water vapour condensation. Your carpeting will stay drier, warmer, and last longer.
• Our Thermal Dry Tiled Floor System creates a warm and dry basement environment whether you’re installing carpet or tile. The waterproof membrane creates an effective moisture barrier between the cold damp concrete and your installed flooring. It also prevents the growth of mould
  and mildew.
• Clarke offers a choice in basement wall systems to better suit the needs of your space.
  • Thermal Dry Wall System: This 3-in-1 basement wall system stops water vapour, drains wall leaks and reflects 90% of the heat back into your basement reducing energy costs. It’s perfect if you’re thinking about finishing your basement with a stud wall.
  • BrightWall Panelling System: 4' x 8' sheets of plastic paneling that are attached to basement walls with special drilled-in fasteners. BrightWall® provides a clean, bright, semi-finished look to your basement walls while preventing water vapour from permeating your basement walls. Leaks drain down to a water management system.
• We eliminate damp, musty odours in your basement by drying and filtering the air with a SaniDry Air System. This powerful dehumidifier is more effective than standard models.
• Our high pressure sump pumps work efficiently to keep your basement dry. Choose from SuperSump, TripleSafe System or UltraSump - we’ll help identify and install the system that’s best suited to your needs.
