Basement flooding is a major problem in Toronto, ON. Since the city’s sewer system isn’t designed to handle heavy rainfall over a short amount of time, surface flooding and basement flooding are all too common. In preparation for the area’s frequently severe weather, it’s important that Toronto homeowners take action to reduce the risk of basement flooding in their homes. If you have cracks in your foundation or basement walls, a faulty drainage system, or leaky basement windows, it’s likely that your basement will suffer from water damage.

If you have water in your basement, you're probably wondering how it got there and what you can do to prevent future leaks before they happen. Basement flooding occurs most frequently when there is heavy rainfall or melting snow, but there are also many everyday reasons why your basement might flood. Some common causes of basement flooding include:
Whether your basement floods every time it rains or you have a small basement leak, a wet basement can mean expensive damage and mould problems. If you have a basement water problem, no matter how big or small, Clarke Basement Systems can prevent flooding and leaks with our proven basement waterproofing system. From our patented WaterGuard drainage system and powerful sump pumps to our energy-efficient dehumidifiers, we offer the high-quality products and professional installation you need to keep your basement dry all the time!

We are also experienced in dealing with water damage and mould problems in crawl spaces. Our CleanSpace crawl space encapsulation system seals your crawl space to keep out moisture and pests and prevent mould and rotting, making your entire home healthier and more comfortable while reducing energy costs. We also offer sump pumps and dehumidifiers specifically designed for crawl spaces that will keep the area moisture-controlled and watertight.
If you already have a mould problem in your crawl space, it’s important to act fast to keep the mould spores from spreading throughout your entire home. Mould can be a persistent problem that’s difficult to permanently remove, and can cause health issues such as increased allergy and asthma symptoms. Clarke Basement Systems provides wood damage repair, dry rot damage repair, mould prevention, and more to keep you and your family safe and comfortable with better indoor air quality.
Foundation problems are common in Toronto because of the frequent occurrence of basement flooding, which can cause foundations to crack. Even if you’ve never had water in your basement, you can still have foundation issues due to poor compaction, plumbing leaks, or expansive soils which tend to shift when there are changes in soil moisture. When the soil beneath your foundation expands or contracts, foundation settlement and sinking can occur as the soil layers become less stable.
Bowing, cracked basement walls are a common sign of a foundation problem.
Your foundation plays an invaluable role in holding up and supporting the rest of your home, so it’s essential to call in a professional foundation repair contractor as soon as you notice any signs of damage to ensure that the structural integrity of your home remains intact. Some common signs of foundation damage to look out for include:
If you think you might have a foundation problem, we have the solutions and experience to effectively repair and stabilize your home. Our patented foundation pier systems can solve many foundation problems such as bowing walls, sagging crawl space, and foundation heave. We value the safety and satisfaction of our customers above all else, and our qualified foundation contractors will design a custom solution to solve your home’s specific needs!
