Interior Waterproofing Service | Canada Waterproofers


Wet Basement Repair from the inside is a great option for certain houses, although we always prefer to protect your basement from the outside. Unfortunately, sometimes there is no other option but to waterproof from the inside.

Things you should know
Many companies like to tell you that interior waterproofing is the best option. They’ll tell you it best protects your foundation walls from water damage. But the truth is a little different.
Although you may not have any other option but to waterproof from the inside, at Canada Waterproofers, we always advise you to go into your waterproofing project with your eyes open.

The truth
Basement Waterproofing from the inside will stop water from entering into your finished basement, allowing you to enjoy a dry living space. However, there will always be a little bit of water trapped behind the membrane of the foundation, which will cover a very long period of time deteriorate your walls.
What not to do after interior waterproofing is installed
You run the risk of condensation building up after interior waterproofing is installed if the wrong insulation and vapour barrier is used, which could mean mold behind your walls. We like to call this the mold sandwich.
What is a mould sandwich?
A mould sandwich is when you have two waterproof membranes – a waterproofing membrane and vapour barrier, that doesn’t let moisture escape, allowing your rock wool insulation to become saturated, which will turn to mould.
So there you have it – a mould sandwich.
How do I stop this situation?
There are ways to avoid this situation and it’s very simple. After interior waterproofing is complete, all you have to do is have it spray foamed during the refinishing of your basement. Yes, it’s as simple as spray foam.
Spray foam becomes its own vapour barrier, eliminating that mold sandwich, so instead of having two waterproof membranes you get a continuous membrane, as the foam sticks to the waterproofing membrane and seals and insulates.
Interior waterproofing was introduced into Toronto many years ago and now interior waterproofing is effectively keeping Toronto homes dry and free from leaking.
