What Is Basement Waterproofing?

Basement waterproofing is the professional process of preventing water intrusion and moisture buildup in your home’s lowest levels. It combines exterior and interior methods—such as high‑performance waterproofing membranes, foundation waterproofing systems, precision crack injections, and drain tile installations—to form a complete moisture barrier. Our process begins with a detailed inspection using moisture meters and video camera diagnostics to identify leaks, cracks, and hydrostatic pressure points. We then apply durable coatings and install sub‑slab drainage or perimeter drain systems. Finished with a sump pump installation when needed, this comprehensive approach stops flooding, inhibits mold growth, and protects against long‑term structural damage—all backed by our 25‑year transferable warranty.

Our basement Waterproofing Process

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.

Our Interior Waterproofing Process

01.

Area Preparation

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.

02.

Core Installation

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.

03.

Finalization & Cleanup

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.

Our Exterior Waterproofing Process

01.

Preparation & Excavation

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

02.

Surface Preparation & Barrier Application

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.

03.

Drainage Installation & Final Backfilling

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.
