Every basement leak has a specific cause — hydrostatic pressure pushing through a foundation crack, a failed weeping tile that's clogged with decades of silt, or grading around the house that funnels water straight to the foundation wall. A waterproofing job that ignores the actual cause is just a temporary patch.
We assess your basement, your grading, and (where accessible) your existing weeping tile before recommending a system. Most Toronto homes are best served by an interior weeping tile and sump pump system, which manages water at the source instead of just sealing a symptom.
Waterproofing systems we install
- Interior weeping tile with sump pit and pump — the most common and least disruptive fix for older Toronto homes
- Sump pump installation with battery backup for power-outage protection
- Exterior waterproofing membrane and drainage for full foundation excavation cases
- Crack injection for isolated, non-structural foundation cracks
Signs your basement needs waterproofing
- Water seeping along the base of the wall after heavy rain
- Efflorescence (white chalky residue) on foundation walls
- A damp, musty smell that persists regardless of ventilation
- Visible cracks in the foundation with moisture around them
