WaterGuard, CleanSpace, and sump pump installation

I had the WaterGuard interior drainage system, CleanSpace wall membrane, and a SuperSump (with back up) sump pump system installed in my basement, and the rodent resistant screen and CleanSpace membrane installed in an adjacent crawlspace. A sump pump discharge system (IceGuard discharge line and buried LawnScape outlet) was also installed outside my home.

There was considerable rainfall soon after the installation and the systems worked as intended.

The inspection and quote preparation was done by George over two visits, and the installation was later done by Lucio, Tyler, and Russel.

George's inspection, including measurements, was meticulous and he was able to answer all my questions directly and clearly.

Lucio, Tyler, and Russel completed the installation in three days, and Lucio did a follow up inspection. The disruption was minimal, considering the nature of the work (it included concrete breakup), the work area was kept clean, and Lucio kept me well informed of progress and provided clear answers to all my questions.

Overall, George, Lucio, Tyler, and Russel were all very professional and pleasant to deal with.

Internal waterproofing and insulating a cold room

I received many quotes for this work (internal waterproofing) and what stood out about this company was the knowledge they had of cold rooms and their patented process to waterproof the cold room, but what made me decide to use Clarke was the advice I was given by Ron which I had not received from any of the other companies. This helped me make my decision. The team did great work and I am very happy with the results.

Basement water proofing

Clarke basement systems did an excellent job. They were very timely, started and completed work as planned. Cleaned up after the work was completed and provided good explanation of the system they have put to take care of the basement water proofing. Extremely satisfied and happy with the solution and quality of work.

Water in the basement

I was truly impressed front start to finish. Chris the sales guy was professional, well informed and alway responded to me quickly and in a friendly manner.
Lucio and Russell who did the work were on tine, resourceful and left a clean basement.
When a challenging stair situation occurred the entire team worked together and resolved the problem as if it never happened.
Thank you to the Clarke Basement team

Installation of Clarke Basements Systems

This was our third spring int this house and the third spring with a leaky basement. We knew it was time. Two friends recommend this company highly. Every step of the process was great. Everyone we dealt with was responsive, professional, effective and communicative. The team who did the actual work and installation- Dave and Brian - were awesome!

Maintenance/Service

I've had a Clarke Basement sump pump for over 14 years and it's the best thing I ever did! It's an excellent pump and the company is very reputable. My serviceman, Ali, comes every year to service it and keep it running perfectly! Even in the heaviest rain, I never have to worry about water in the house! My pump was making some weird noises, I called and Ali came today, right on schedule to replace my pump! I am so pleased with the prompt, knowledgeable and friendly service! Thanks, Ali!

Basement waterproofing

Our basement was leaking groundwater all the time. Our sumppump couldnt keep up so we had numerous floods which created mold.
We contacted Clarke Basement Systems and they installed a complete new system including two sumppumps that can handle the water problem. David, one of the installers, was was so good (actually the other installer was just as good) They completed the job in two days and finished up with a very tidy basement. They were very respectful and careful not to mess up the house coming in and out with basement debris. We are very happy with their work and happy that our flooding problem is now a thing of the past. We highly recommend this company to help you with any water issues you may have. Very professional and knowledgeable.
