Signs that You Need Basement Waterproofing Toronto
Basement waterproofing services can have different scope depending on your objectives, extent of the problems, budget and other factors. With that said, our recommended approach to basement waterproofing in your specific scenario often depends on the extent of the water damage that you are facing. From wall crack repairs (that are relatively inexpensive and easy to do) to full-scale foundation repairs, basement underpinning projects and basement waterproofing.
Here is a couple of signs that will signal that you need basement waterproofing services:
-
Water Stains – wall water leaks and wet basement floors are among the signs that you need to talk to basement waterproofing contractors. It is important to get basement leak repairs on time, as these issues tend to get worse over time
-
Wet Basement Floor – water seeping thought the basement floor is another common indicator that basement waterproofing may be needed for your property
-
Mold & Mildew – as well as fungi tend to live in humid environments. If you see mold, mildew or fungi in your basement, you may want to talk to professional basement waterproofing contractors
-
Humidity – higher than normal humidity is another sign of a basement that needs waterproofing
-
Cracks in Basement Walls or Floors – cracks in foundation walls & floors ca lead to water leaks, that in turn can cause basement floods. Early foundation repairs are recommended to prevent them from getting worse.
If you notice any of these signs, it's important to have your basement inspected by a professional waterproofing contractor to determine the extent of the problem and recommend an appropriate solution.

What is the Process of Exterior vs Interior Basement Waterproofing?
The details of basement waterproofing can vary depending on the specifics of your project. But here is a couple of examples to give you a broad understanding of what is often involved. Basement waterproofing can be done either from the interior or the exterior of the home. Here are the basic steps for each method:
Interior Basement Waterproofing:
-
Identify the source of water: The first step in interior waterproofing is to locate the source of the water intrusion. This may involve inspecting the basement walls and floors for cracks, gaps, or other signs of water entry.
-
Repair any cracks or leaks: Once the source of the water has been identified, any cracks or leaks in the walls or floors should be repaired using hydraulic cement or a similar waterproofing compound.
-
Install a drainage system: A drainage system, such as a sump pump or French drain, may be installed to collect and remove any water that enters the basement.
-
Apply a waterproofing membrane: A waterproofing membrane may be applied to the interior walls and floors to provide an additional layer of protection against water intrusion.
Exterior Basement Waterproofing:
-
Excavation: The first step in exterior waterproofing is to excavate the soil around the exterior walls of the basement to expose the foundation walls.
-
Repair any cracks or leaks: Any cracks or leaks in the foundation walls should be repaired using a waterproofing compound or an epoxy injection system.
-
Install a drainage system: A drainage system, such as a French drain, may be installed to collect and remove any water that enters the soil around the foundation.
-
Apply a waterproofing membrane: A waterproofing membrane may be applied to the exterior walls of the basement to provide an additional layer of protection against water intrusion.
-
Backfill: Once the waterproofing membrane has been applied, the soil around the foundation walls can be backfilled to its original level.
Both interior and exterior basement waterproofing have their advantages and disadvantages, and the method used will depend on the specific needs and conditions of the home. It's best to consult with a professional waterproofing contractor to determine the most effective solution for your basement.
What Services are Available Under Basement Waterproofing?
We Offer Some of the Best Basement Waterproofing Services Toronto
Basement waterproofing can include many different services, all united with one goal - protecting your space from basement water leaks. From basement leak repairs and window well installations to exterior basement waterproofing and basement underpinning services, our team of basement waterproofing contractors is here to help protect your basement from water leaks. Below are some of our basement waterproofing services in Toronto.
Interior Basement Waterproofing
Interior basement waterproofing refers to a variety of techniques used to prevent water from entering a basement from the inside of the structure.
Interior basement waterproofing is rather a water management technique, as opposed to waterproofing, as water still makes it to your basement, but is managed with a variety of tools & techniques pre-built in your basement - like waterproof membranes, drainage system, sump pump installation and more.
This can include installing drainage systems, sealing cracks and joints, and applying waterproof coatings to the walls and floors of the basement.
One common method of interior basement waterproofing is installing a perimeter drainage system, which involves digging a trench around the interior perimeter of the basement and installing a drainage pipe that collects and directs water to a sump pump. The sump pump then pumps the water out and away from the foundation.
Basement wall & floor crack repairs are then delivered to seal cracks and joints in the walls and floor of the basement to prevent water from seeping through. This can be done using a variety of materials, such as epoxy injections or polyurethane sealants.
A waterproof coating is then applied. This can include using a paint-on waterproofing membrane, a cementitious coating, or a plastic sheeting system.
