Basement Waterproofing Services in Toronto Waterproofing4Less

Basement leaks are a very common issue for home owners in Toronto which also happen to be some of the most damaging. We see heavy rain, melting snow, and shifting clay soil as the main causes which make basements very prone to water infiltration. What may begin as a wet spot or a musty smell turns very quickly into structural damage, mold growth, and very large repair bills. That’s why at Waterproofing4Less we provide professional Basement Waterproofing Services in Toronto, we use proven methods and durable materials to keep your foundation dry, stable and protected through out the year.

Why Basement Waterproofing Is Essential

Water issues in the basement are a symptom of a larger problem which is structural in nature your foundation is at issue. Over time what we see is moisture making its way through concrete walls and floors which in turn causes cracking, material break down and mold growth. These issues do not correct themselves. In Toronto we deal with freeze/thaw cycles and high ground water which only aggravate the issue. We put in permanent solutions not band aid fixes at Waterproofing4Less we are putting in measures which will protect your home’s health and safety for the long term. By doing so we are also preventing large scale damage, improving indoor air quality, and in the end adding to your properties value. At Waterproofing4Less we are focused on the long term health of your home’s foundation which in turn gives our clients peace of mind that their basements are a safe environment for years to come.

Understanding Why Basements Leak

Basement issues usually result from a combination of things. In Toronto we see that older homes in particular have issues with foundation cracks, poor grade, and out of date drainage systems. During storms the soil around the home becomes saturated which in turn puts hydrostatic pressure on even the tiniest of cracks which pushes water in. Over time that water wear[s] away at the concrete and damages the structure. Also some basements have issues from within - condensation, plumbing leaks, and lack of proper ventilation which in turn cause musty smells. The first thing to do in fixing any of this is to identify what is causing it. That’s the reason at Waterproofing4Less we begin each project with a detailed inspection to determine the root cause which we use to put together a custom solution.

Interior Basement Waterproofing

Interior basement waterproofing is a very effective solution which has water that has already made its way in to the basement in mind. It is best for finished basements or for when external excavation is not an option. We put down waterproof coatings and membranes on the interior walls which in turn we install internal drain tiles that collect the water and direct it to a sump pump for removal. We put all these elements together to reduce hydrostatic pressure and to get standing water out. At WaterProofing4Less we use the best materials and we stand behind our installation methods which we have proven to work in keeping your basement out of trouble no matter what the rain does outside.

Exterior Basement Waterproofing

For those who are in it for the long run Homeowner’s best bet is on exterior basement waterproofing. This service which we at Waterproofing4Less provide keeps water out before it ever gets a chance to reach your foundation. We dig out around the home, clean the foundation walls, we apply a quality waterproof membrane to them and put in new weeping tiles or a different drainage system to direct water away from the structure. Once that is done we backfill and grade the soil properly to avoid future issues. Although the exterior waterproofing process is more in depth, what we do gives you protection for decades against leaks and moisture. At WaterProofing4Less we use the best materials and techniques which are resistant to Toronto’s climate which in turn keeps your foundation strong and dry no matter what the season.

Sump Pump Installation and Maintenance

A home’s safety net against basement flooding is your sump pump. Which will kick in at the drop of a hat and remove that which has built up in the ground water before it ever gets a chance to reach your floors. At Waterproofing4Less we put in high efficiency large capacity sump pumps which we design for Toronto homes’ specific needs also we put in backwater valves for that extra layer of defense. Also we do regular maintenance to make sure they perform perfectly when you need them the most. A properly installed sump pump is one of the most budget friendly options out there for protecting your basement from water damage which you may see in the event of a storm or snowmelt.

Foundation Crack Repair

Small issues like cracks in the foundation may not seem like a big deal but over time they do lead to large scale leaks and structural issues. Water will find its way in through the tiniest of gaps and with each freeze and thaw cycle will expand those cracks. At WaterProofing4Less we use professional grade polyurethane and epoxy for our injection which we do from the inside out. We bond directly into the concrete which stops the leak at the source and at the same time we are reinforcing the structure to put a stop to new cracks from appearing. By repairing foundation cracks early you not only put a stop to water damage but also preserve the strength of your home for the future.

Basement Lowering and Underpinning

Basement underpinning and waterproofing is a far more extensive process than just a space play - it is also what it takes to strengthen and protect your structure. For home owners looking to turn their basements into liveable spaces, waterproofing is a key element in the renovation. At Waterproofing4Less we pair underpinning with the best in waterproofing practices to present you with safe, dry and durable finished products. The end result is a basement which is an extension of your home, not a concern each time the weather turns.
