A review for Clarke Basement Systems

We had water in the basement only during extended very wet periods. But often enough that finishing the basement was out of the question. From their literature it looks like Clarke Basement Systems carries pretty high end product and we were a bit anxious their quote would push a high end solution for a problem we rarely saw. In fact what they offered was bang on. Their explanation for what we saw made sense (high water table, not seapage) and their proposal clearly recognized that we needed a pretty basic sump pump. They offered good advice on how to drain the run-off so it wasn't dumping back on the lawn. In short, a complete solution including for problems we hadn't forseen and a price well worth the peace of mind. Totally dry now through some weather that has soaked our neighbours basements. Can't comment on how their follow up is because everything has worked flawlessly. We got good instruction on care and maintenance so we know it's working even during the long periods we don't depend on it. We're confident enough now that we went ahead and finished the basement. We got about 800 square feet more living space we thought was unavailable to us (by my math that's less than $2 a square foot)
