I can't say enough about how pleased I am with Clarke Basements! We were in panic mode when we discovered cracks throughout our 20-year-old block foundation-- and water seeping in with every rainfall. We had just completed mold remediation. Now it was time to solve the problem so our children would never be exposed to harmful mold again. Ryan and then Don came on separate visits to explain the interior drain system and answer our questions---- LOTS of questions. The idea of installing a drain system around the INSIDE of our basement seemed unorthodox at first. However, the guys at Clarke Basement addressed every concern. Not with a sales pitch or false promises. With facts and photos and logic and complete confidence in the effectiveness of their product. I remember at one point beginning a question with "Now, if water ever does get into the basement in the future..." and Don immediately stopped me and said "It won't." Once we decided to go with Clarke, the work was started right on time. It took four days exactly as promised. Rob and Nole worked tirelessly and Rob is seriously the most cheerful, positive guy you will ever meet! It was a joy to have him in our home. The work was performed in a manner that clearly shows the crew were perfectionists. And best of all--- IT WORKS! That funny smell to which we had grown accustomed in our basement is gone. The moisture is gone. The puddle of water in that one corner will never show its face again. Don even came again, at my request, and met with the contractor rebuilding our basement to ensure that they understood how to preserve the integrity of the system while rebuilding all the walls and re-tiling the perimeter (and while he was here, he made sure my hoses were properly shut off for the winter sub-zero temps upon us. That's just how he is). Clarke Basements gave me peace of mind in a situation that, six months ago, I thought would never be resolved. I am 100% certain that our basement will remain dry. Ok, so stop worrying and stop researching now and just call them!

Thank you for the glowing review. You have an amazing historical home with a beautiful great room addition. As with many clients the thought of an inside repair of such a serious problem seemed hard to believe at first. But it works :) As well those magnificent historical trees can live on without damaging there roots. I would also like to thank your mould re mediators for referring us to you. Enjoy your healthy safe basement space.
