At Waterproofing4Less, we specialize in comprehensive waterproofing and drainage solutions specifically designed for Hamilton properties.

Why Do You Need Basement Waterproofing & Drainage in Hamilton?
Comprehensive Structural & Indoor Protection
 Efficient Drainage & Regulatory Compliance
Uninterrupted Protection During Extreme Weather

 Our Advanced Materials & Technology

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:

01     Infrared Cameras & Moisture Meters

These allow us to detect hidden wet areas and measure moisture levels accurately, even in spots that the naked eye can’t see.

02   Drain Camera Equipment

This technology inspects your pipelines and sewers for blockages or structural damage.

03     Utility Locates

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.

04    Honest Assessments

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 Comprehensive Process in Hamilton

Our installation process is designed specifically for Hamilton’s unique drainage challenges and includes four streamlined steps

Interior Waterproofing Process

1
Preparation & Access

 Protect the workspace with tarps and remove wall coverings to fully expose the concrete, cinder block, or brick surfaces.

2
Trenching & Excavation

Excavate a precise trench along the wall following detailed diagrams and properly dispose of all debris.

3
Membrane & Weeping Tile Installation

 Install the Delta MS drainage membrane (drilling through blocks if needed) and integrate Big O weeping tile with filter into the drainage system.

4
Backfilling & Cleanup

 Encase the tile in gravel, backfill and re-cement the floor, then remove tarps and thoroughly clean the work area.

Exterior Waterproofing Process

1
Area Protection & Excavation

 Use tarps to safeguard the landscape and excavate to the footing level to expose the foundation wall and footing.

2
Surface Preparation

Clean the wall, grind out cracks into a V-shape, repair with hydraulic cement, and apply a parging mix.

3
Aquabloc Application & Reinforcement

 Apply a high-quality layer of Aquabloc 720-38, then reinforce with fiber mesh and an additional 4mm poly layer for superior protection.

4
Drainage Installation & Backfilling

 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.
