Post Fire Basement Waterproofing in Orangeville, ON
Previous customers of Clarke Basement Systems gave us a call years after she hired us for our waterproofing system, explaining that their home had a severe fire. In addition, they were renovating the house and needed help with waterproofing again. System Design Specialist Ben Wallis gave the homeowners a free quote and his expert opinion of what system would suit their home.
Jose Martinez and his trusted crew first placed our WaterGuard® sub-floor drainage system to give water seepage a place to be discharged. Next, they set our vapour barrier, known as the CleanSpace® membrane, around the basement walls. Both systems control moisture and protect the basement from further water seepage. The homeowners confidently resumed their renovations when the crew finished, thanks to CBS!
Bowing Cold Room Walls Threaten Homes Integrity in Toronto, Ontario
Trusting our homes to protect us is essential. We spend a good chunk of our lives at home, and we shouldn’t have to wonder if the building is structurally sound. We like to think that things are always the way they’re supposed to be, but unfortunately, that’s not always the case.
A homeowner in Toronto, Ontario, noticed the walls in his cold room were bowing. The walls supported the concrete front porch, so they play an essential role in supporting the front section of the house. Concerned for the home’s well-being, the customer called Clarke Basement Systems.
System Design Specialist Ron Monk met with the customer and inspected his home. He showed him our products and designed a system to stabilize the cold room permanently.
Foremen Shane O’Rourke and Don Clarke worked hard installing our Powerbrace® System. First, the exterior was excavated to relieve pressure on the walls. Once the exterior is excavated, the walls are pushed back out before PowerBraces® are installed. These braces attach directly to the concrete floor and framing in the ceiling, stabilizing the home and helping to straighten the walls.
The client was extremely satisfied with the job and our team. The walls are secure, and his fears of a collapse have been put to rest.
IceGuard® installed in Etobicoke, ON
One Etobicoke, ON homeowner, was concerned with their unprotected current sump system. In the event of pump failure, power loss, or clogged and frozen discharge pipes their home would become flooded. This concerned the homeowner, as a result, could be a considerable amount of damages resulting in costly repairs and replacement.
Ron Monk, System Design Specialist, evaluated the condition of their home and provided a waterproofing solution. Ali Fereidouni, Foreman, and his team installed:
UltraSump® Battery Back-Up system
Zoeller® M53 Primary Pump
CleanPump Stand
IceGuard® Discharge line
The IceGuard® Discharge Line protects the discharge line in the event of frozen or clogged pipes. If the pipes become clogged or frozen, some slots face away from the home that allows water to flow out freely.

Our customer in Etobicoke, Ontario, was not protected in the event of pump failure, power loss, or clogged and frozen discharge pipes. With no backup system, their home could become flooded and damaged resulting in costly repairs and replacement.

UltraSump® Battery Back-Up system
Zoeller® M53 Primary Pump
CleanPump Stand
IceGuard® Discharge line
The UltraSump® System is designed to run 12,000 gallons of pumping, should the primary pump fail, or the home loses power.
Water Seepage in Basement in Etobicoke, ON
Our customer in Etobicoke, Ontario, had an issue with the previously-built rear addition before they owned the home. Water had started seeping in through the walls and concrete floor which was damaging materials used to finish their basement and affecting personal items. They were concerned that mould might begin to grow behind the finished walls.
After our customer spoke with Claude Mathieu, System Design Specialist, they agreed on a waterproofing solution plan. They started by removing the entire concrete floor to release the water pressure underneath. Jose, Lucio, Ali, and the crew installed:
SuperSump® Sump Pump System
WaterGuard® Drainage System
ThermalDry® Wall Membrane
IceGuard® Drainage Pipe
