Basement flooding and water intrusion are significant concerns for homeowners everywhere. Unpredictable heavy rains, rapid snowmelt, and aging infrastructure can allow moisture to seep into your basement, leading to water damage, mold growth, and long-term structural issues. At Waterproofing4Less we specialize in comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions designed to protect your home from these risks.
Basement waterproofing is the process of making your basement resistant to water intrusion and moisture buildup. It aims to prevent water from entering your basement, protecting it from flooding, mold growth, and structural damage. This is typically achieved through a combination of exterior and interior waterproofing methods, such as installing drainage systems, applying water-resistant membranes, and sealing walls and floors. Waterproofing helps maintain the integrity of your home’s foundation and indoor air quality by preventing the accumulation of moisture, which can lead to the growth of mold and mildew.
Basement waterproofing is a comprehensive process that protects your home’s basement from water intrusion and damage. It involves both exterior and interior methods designed to create a barrier against water seepage, thereby preventing flooding, mold growth, and long-term structural damage.
Sign: Water pooling, damp patches, cracks in walls, and shifting floors indicate that moisture is infiltrating your basement and compromising your home’s foundation.
Benefit: Our advanced waterproofing systems form a robust barrier that prevents flood damage, mold growth, and long-term structural deterioration, minimizing the need for repeated repairs.
Sign: Persistent moisture results in musty odors, visible mold, and underutilized basement space, which can lower your home’s market appeal.
Benefit: By keeping your basement dry, our solutions improve indoor air quality, create a healthier living space, and enhance your property’s resale value.
Sign: Inadequate waterproofing can lead to non-compliance with local building codes, higher insurance premiums, and vulnerability during extreme weather or power outages.
Benefit: Our professional installations ensure compliance with municipal regulations (including utility locates to avoid fines up to $12,000), qualify you for insurance discounts and rebates, and deliver continuous protection through advanced systems like battery-backed sump pumps.

We offer a dual approach to waterproofing that addresses both interior and exterior challenges. Our separate processes ensure that every aspect of water intrusion is effectively managed.
Protect Workspaces: Cover surrounding areas with tarps to maintain a clean and controlled environment.
Surface Exposure: Remove existing wall coverings to fully expose the concrete, cinder block, or brick surfaces.
Environmental Setup: Ensure the area is free of debris and properly organized for safe, efficient work.
Trenching & Excavation: Excavate a precise trench along the wall following detailed diagrams, ensuring proper disposal of soils and debris.
Membrane Application: Install the Delta MS drainage membrane along the exposed wall surfaces—drilling through blocks if necessary—and secure it with Delta clips.
Weeping Tile Integration: Set up the Big O weeping tile with a filter and connect it to the drainage system for optimal water flow management.
Backfilling & Cementing: Encase the weeping tile with gravel, then backfill and re-cement the floor using a trowel finish.
Thorough Cleanup: Remove all tarps and protective coverings, and clean the work area to restore it to its original state.
Quality Inspection: Perform a final inspection to ensure that the installation meets quality standards and provides effective, long-term waterproofing.
Area Protection: Use tarps to safeguard the landscape and adjacent property areas.
Foundation Exposure: Excavate down to the footing level to fully expose the foundation wall and footing.
Utility Compliance: Perform mandatory utility locates (hydro, gas, telecom) to ensure a safe, bylaw-compliant excavation

Surface Cleaning & Repair: Clean the foundation wall, grind out cracks into a V-shape, and repair with hydraulic cement followed by application of a parging mix.
Waterproofing Barrier: Apply a high-quality layer of Aquabloc 720-38 to form a durable, water-based waterproof barrier that outperforms traditional methods.
Reinforcement: Install fiber mesh and add an additional protective layer (e.g., a 4mm poly layer) for enhanced durability against moisture intrusion.
Weeping Tile Installation: Remove old drainage components and install a new Big O weeper with filter, ensuring efficient water channeling away from the foundation.
Backfilling & Compaction: Encase the weeper with ¾” clear gravel, backfill the excavation, and compact the soil every 2ft for a stable finish.
Final Inspection & Cleanup: Conduct a thorough inspection and remove all debris, restoring the area to its original condition and ensuring long-term performance.
