Description of Work: By hand and with minimal impact on landscaping and shrubs dug a 2 foot wide trench along basement wall to the footings and drainage tile. Replaced tile, checked for blockage, applied waterproofing and membrane to outside basement wall and backfilled with pea gravel to about 10 inches from ground level. Work was done quickly as promised. Workmen were courteous, cleaned up site before leaving each day. A very good experience and price was competitive with other bidders. No leaks since work done.

It is very wet around my house and the basement had leaked. I wanted to avoid future problems, do the preventative work necessary. He came by, assessed the situation and provided an estimate. IT all looked very good, except that it was more than I had to spend. I did what else I could do on my own and have been alright so far. If I do go with a professional, I definitely will give him every consideration. I felt very good with his attitude toward the job and work.
Description of Work: Assessed need for preventative action, gave proposal for what should be done and an estimate.

The salesman was not punctual and not interested in performing the work. In his opinion based on the area I live in my house was "not worth the repair." To ensure that he would not get saddled with doing work in an urban area he gave me an absolutely ridiculous price and went on his merry way. My family has lived in our home since 1980. We are the actual owners, not some bank, and our home is very well maintained. He should not have wasted our time or his to come out and insult us with his discriminatory comments.

I only have one negative. The company needs to increase communications with customers. Once i was put on the schedule, there was little communication with them. I understand that rain delayed their work, but they need to keep customers in the loop regarding delays in schedules. However, I am very glad that I waited for them. The work performed exceeded my expectations. Mark has a great team who are all very hardworking and conscientious. They hand dug everything and took great care to replace my landscaping exactly as it was before they came. The owner was present the entire time and spent a lot of time educating me and working "down in the trenches" making sure problem was addressed, as opposed to just "doing the job". They also did some patched a small hole in my basement floor and sealed around a basement window well. These were not in the contract, yet he did not charge me anything for the extra work. Overall, I highly recommend...
Description of Work: Dug down to bottom of basement on 2 sides of the house. Patched, sealed with tar, and covered basement walls with heavy plastic sheeting. They then replaced the old french tiles with new plastic drain pipes and filled in with pea gravel. Then they replaced my landscaping just as it was prior to work. The price was 125/linear foot.

Horrible. I don't have a waterproofing company to recommend yet but I certainly know who not to recommend.
Description of Work: I called this company to schedule an appointment for an estimate. The lady that answered said they were out on a job, took my name address & phone number, said she would have them call me back. I called again the following week, she apologized for them not calling me back, & took my information again. 3 weeks later, I still have not received a call back and no one has come to my house to give an estimate. This is a bad way to do business.

From start to finish, the work and the team were just outstanding. We could tell we were being well taken care of immediately. One extra point is that they cleaned up and left the place in great order. The guys were really nice and respectful as well.
Description of Work: Our basement had flooded after some very, very hard rains. Clark Basement Waterproofing was one of 3 companies we had out to give us an estimate. Not only was Clark's very fair and reasonable, Mark (the owner) had the best understanding of our problem. He and his team replaced the weeping tiles in the inside of the basement on 1/2 of the house. Of course, much more went in to it than I can explain.

Mark Rhodes, the owner of Clark Basement Waterproofing, is the exception to the rule when it comes to contractors/folks working on your house. Mark does an excellent job managing the project as well as his staff. He is a clear communicator, setting real expectations and delivering excellent quality work. In addition, Mark's staff, which includes his son, couldn't be more hard working, professional, and personable. After interviewing several companies, ultimately selecting Clark, I couldn't have made a better choice. Of course, Murphy's Law hit and we experienced cold, very, very rainy weather all week. Although this clearly set the project back a couple of days, there was no one to blame but Mother Nature. Mark did a great job managing though some nasty conditions, keeping his staff safe and my house protected.
Description of Work: The project included excavating the entire south side of my home, down to the storm tiles. This included two-foot-wide, length-of-the-house section of driveway that had to be removed, the storm tiles had to be replaced, drainage system snaked clean (to the city street), basement cracks repaired, basement wall tared then covered with visqueen, the entire excavation site was back-filled with pea-gravel, and finally the driveway section re-paved.

The project took one week to complete which was the projection when the project began. The company stayed on schedule even with losing 1 & 1/2 days of work due to heavy rain. They brought in a dumpster to remove the fill and old drain tile that was dug out. All of the workers (4 of them, including the owner, Mr. Mark Rhoades) were very respectful of my property as well as that of my neighbor. They cleaned up at the end of each day and at the end of the job. Obviously the proof will be what happens over the next several years but I was able to observe the work for portions of each day and I am not anticipating anything but great results and a dry basement for years to come. At this point I truly could not be more happy with Mr. Rhoades and Clark Basement Waterproofing.
Description of Work: Completed basement waterproofing on outside of home. Two sides of the home and 3 extra feet around a corner were completed. The entire area was hand dug down to the drain tile (6 to 7 feet down). The drain tile was replaced, the basement wall was wire brushed clean and cracks were sealed. The entire wall was covered in mastic and plastic sheeting. The drain tile that was not replaced was checked with a hand cable and power flushed. The area that was hand dug was then filled with pea stone and then the grade was completed with top soil. Three window area ways were also installed around the basement windows on the outside of the home.

Description of Work: They dug out my foundation on three sides of my house, straightened bowing basement walls, braced them with steel I-beams, repointed the cement block everywhere it was cracked, replaced my footing drains, backfilled with pea gravel, and replaced all the landscaping (and my brick-paver patio) they had disturbed.

The crew showed up right on time on the scheduled date and worked hard all day long, every day. They were always respectful and neat. They took care to protect my lawn and the neighbor's driveway. They had to move fencing and replace it. They worked quickly and efficiently. They exhibited a thorough knowledge of the service. They made sure the permits were in place before beginning and they kept the process running smoothly by scheduling inspections and deliveries well. They finished the work two days ahead of schedule. I am very happy with their work and the results. I would not hesitate to recommend them or to hire them again. When the work was done, they cleaned up the yard and driveway with a broom and water hose. They left everything as good or better than they found it.
Description of Work: Manually dug 2 ft trench around house down to base; replaced drain tiles, sealed wall cracks, applied mastic and plastic to waterproof wall from the outside, filled entire trench with pea gravel, topped off with 10" top soil. Also sealed front porch, repairing cracks, and sealed around steps.

I called and talked to the owner and set up an appointment for him to come out and give us an estimate. He did not show up, nor did he call. I called him after waiting half an hour. He said he did not remember that he had an appointment with us. He was in the area because he had another appointment, so he did come over. He said he would get back to us with an estimate, but we never heard from him again.

They did an excellent job and completed it within two days, even though it was January and quite snowy. They left a clean site, and the basement has not leaked since the repair. The estimate was completed in mid-December. They were willing to do the job immediately, but we postponed it until after the holidays.
Description of Work: Fixed leak in basement by hand digging to the base of the house on one side, including removing and replacing part of a deck, removing all fill from the property, replacing drain tiles, repairing cracks in the wall, and filling with pea stone.

They did a super job from start to finish. The owner, Mark Rhoade, was prompt and professional on all phone calls and appointments, and he inspired confidence in his ability to take care of this chronic problem once and for all. He showed up on time with a very pleasant, efficient crew, and they finished the job in the snow in 2 1/2 days. They were neat, avoided harming plants, and cleaned up the area very well. We have since experienced a melting thaw that would normally have sent us to the basement with mops, and there was no leaking at all. The work is guaranteed for 15 years, and we have confidence that they would return to fix it if problems should develop in the future.
Description of Work: They fixed a chronic (more than a year) basement leak from outside the house. They dug a two-foot trench to the base along one side of the house and braced the trench with wood, moved all removed dirt to a small dumpster in the driveway with wheelbarrows, repaired a cracked wall, replaced drain tiles, tested the leak by pouring water in with a hose and then inspecting the basement on the inside, re-filled the trench with pea stone and top soil, and hauled all removed dirt from the area in a dumpster.

I called Clark after finding them on Angie's List. Mark came out when he said he would and looked things over. He described what the work would involve and how it would correct the problem, so I gave them the go ahead. His crew showed up on time and did a great job. They had to dig around two sides of the porch foundation, install drain pipe and gravel, and put the yard back together again. When they needed to come inside they all took their shoes off. They put down paper in the basement where we had new carpet installed, and made sure not to leave a mess. The job spread over three days (one day it rained late). My wife liked that they played "Oldies" while they worked. I thought I was going to have a disater on my hands that would be expensive and take forever to fix. Mark got it done fast and at a fair price.
Description of Work: Leak around basement under front porch. Left basement room musty and damp. Some of the block wall had begun to deteriorate and crumble from the dampness.

I can not speak highly enough of Mark and his crew. After receiving several estimates for basement waterproofing done in various ways, we were most impressed with his explanation and integrity. He clearly is an expert in this area and takes the time to make you understand. He only did what was necessary and did not lead us to believe that our house was falling apart like others did. He was timely and courteous. They worked very fast and only took 3 1/2 days to do the entire job! When we returned after they completed it, we could not tell that they had ever been there--everything was placed back as they had found it. If you need your home waterproofed and want to avoid the run-around, give Clark Basement a call. Many of our neighbors came by to see what they were doing and were impressed, asking for their contact info.
Description of Work: Dug around the exterior of our house all the way down to the basement floor, removed clogged/broken drain tiles, repaired cracks in basement wall and filled space with peastone. Also re-cemented the back and put everything back like how they found it.

With all the heavy rain in November, I had water leaking down the side walls and near the bottom of the cinder blocks. I called Clark's and Mark the owner came out the same day and provided a quote and completed the work for the price quoted. I requested the work be completed the week I would be on vacation (I had some available to check on the work). Mark accommodated the week I requested and started the work on Monday and finished by Thursday. They ensured the surrounding area was returned as they found it and pictures were provided for each phase of the work. I highly recommend this company - Mark was very professional and friendly to work with. I am very pleased with the work and the outside looks great! And no more leaks!
Description of Work: Reseal the cracks/voids along one wall of my basement/foundation from the outside of the house. They had to cut away concrete and dig out 2 feet away from the house to seal the cracks/voids, replace the drain tile, and reseal the foundation and filled with pea stone. This was completed on one side of the house and 3' around the front and back corners.
