Basement Waterproofing

Canadian weather is extreme, to say the least. And unpredictable. Your home will likely be the biggest financial investment you will make. The definition of “home” also goes far beyond any financial connotation. It’s where you rest and re-energize. It’s where you raise your family. For many of us it’s where we work. “Home” needs protection against those weather elements.
Canada Waterproofers has your back. After all, when it comes to your home, it’s all about peace of mind, isn’t it?
Waterproofing your home is like putting on a warm, dry coat, protecting you against those elements.

However sometimes there is no other option than to waterproof from the inside.

Why does my Basement Leak?
Foundations that leak cause all kinds of damage to your basement walls – whether you live in an older home, or one that’s newer. If your basement is leaking then there is no time like the present to have it repaired. And if it’s not leaking, there still is no better time than now to add that extra layer of protection.
When a basement is excavated, the soils that will be back-filled around the new foundation will be much looser soil than the surrounding, undisturbed ground. The problem with this is that loose earth will collect water much faster than undisturbed virgin soils. After the foundation walls are poured and the ground is backfilled then that soil that surrounds the new foundation will collect water and hold that moisture up against the new foundation walls. This water accumulates and eventually will enter into the foundation walls as they age and deteriorate.
How can I stop my basement from leaking?
The only way to relieve this pressure is to install protective layers on the walls, through a system of weeping tiles and sump pumps, so that this accumulation of water can be redirected away from the foundation and allow the surrounding soils to eventually dry and settle.
A leaking foundation may seem daunting to fix, but we can assure you that with the right waterproofing methods your basement will stay dry, in large part via a series of foundation protective coatings, and sealers, which will keep the water from penetrating your foundation walls. Weeping tiles will carry water away from your foundation and protect your basement from flooding in the event of extreme weather. A membrane will protect the wall from damage and keep your Basement waterproofing system intact for a lifetime.
Why is it important to stop leaks?
Moisture can cause all kinds of damage to concrete, timber, bricks, and block structures, which in the end can cost you thousands of dollars in structural repairs.
Maintaining a dry basement is more important than you think, as mould spores can travel throughout your home and cause all kinds of health issues. Although a little leak may seem harmless, without the protection that proper waterproofing provides that leak could be detrimental to the health of you and your family.
