Solution to a Leaky Basement in Markham, ON

A home in Markham, Ontario, had water seeping up from the floor and wall and the block foundation wall was full of water. This unwanted water was a problem because the prospective home buyers were not interested in buying a home with a leaking basement.

The homeowner needed to sell the home to move away for a job. She called Clarke Basement Systems and spoke to Ben Wallis, who told her everything that would be done to fix the basement. Jose Martinez and the team installed WaterGuard® Below-Floor Drain around the perimeter of the basement, ThermalDry® wall membrane on the walls and a SuperSump® Premier Sump Pump System. Block wall voids were purged, so the wall did not retain water anymore. The ThermalDry® wall membrane directs any moisture into the WaterGuard®, and it then into the SuperSump®. The customer was satisfied because she was now able to obtain a home inspection report indicating the problem found a solution with a fully-transferable warranty.
