Stop water damage before it starts. At Waterproofing4Less, our interior waterproofing and exterior waterproofing systems—backed by 25+ years of local expertise—seal out moisture, prevent foundation leaks, and deliver reliable flood protection for homes across Hamilton. Pair it with a sump pump installation in Hamilton or a backwater valve installation in Hamilton for total defense.
Hamilton’s mix of historic stone homes and new infill builds sits atop clayrich soil and uneven bedrock—prime conditions for basement flooding and moisture intrusion. Torrential spring rains and rapid snowmelt can overwhelm old drainage systems, leading to mold, structural damage, and expensive repairs.
At Waterproofing4Less, we’re Hamilton’s trusted basement waterproofing experts. Our solutions range from cementitious sealers to French drain installations, each tailored for local hydrostatic pressure and building codes. We ensure your system works handinhand with related services—like drain repair & replacement and sump pump installation—to keep your foundation dry, year after year.
At Waterproofing4Less, quality and innovation are at the core of our service. We use Aquabloc 720-38, a premium water-based, low VOC waterproofing product that outperforms traditional tar-based sealants by forming a durable, flexible barrier against water intrusion.
Our advanced diagnostic tools include:
These allow us to detect hidden wet areas and measure moisture levels accurately, even in spots that the naked eye can’t see.
This technology inspects your pipelines and sewers for blockages or structural damage.
We rigorously follow local bylaws by calling utility locates (for hydro, gas, Bell, Rogers, etc.) before excavation. This critical step prevents accidental damage, saving you from fines of up to $12,000 and ensuring a safe, compliant work environment.
Our commitment to honesty means we only recommend work that is truly necessary, ensuring you receive high-quality, cost-effective solutions without unnecessary upsells.
Our installation process is designed specifically for Hamilton’s unique drainage challenges and includes four streamlined steps
Protect the workspace with tarps and remove wall coverings to fully expose the concrete, cinder block, or brick surfaces.
Excavate a precise trench along the wall following detailed diagrams and properly dispose of all debris.
Install the Delta MS drainage membrane (drilling through blocks if needed) and integrate Big O weeping tile with filter into the drainage system.
Encase the tile in gravel, backfill and re-cement the floor, then remove tarps and thoroughly clean the work area.
Use tarps to safeguard the landscape and excavate to the footing level to expose the foundation wall and footing.
Clean the wall, grind out cracks into a V-shape, repair with hydraulic cement, and apply a parging mix.
Apply a high-quality layer of Aquabloc 720-38, then reinforce with fiber mesh and an additional 4mm poly layer for superior protection.
Install a new Big O weeper with filter, backfill with ¾” clear gravel after conducting required utility locates, and finish with thorough compaction and cleanup.
