2. Project Details & Implementation

Industrial-Grade Exterior Waterproofing Membranes
We applied a high-performance, industrial-grade waterproof membrane across the full exterior foundation walls. This created a durable moisture barrier capable of withstanding hydrostatic pressure, a critical feature for protecting older stone and brick foundations.
‍

Robust Weeping Tile Drainage System
To redirect water efficiently away from the building’s base, we installed a modern weeping tile system. Engineered for optimal drainage, this system included ¾” clear gravel encasement and filter fabric to prevent sediment infiltration—ensuring long-term functionality and flow performance.
‍

Utility Coordination & Safety Compliance
Working in a dense urban campus environment, we conducted comprehensive utility locates (hydro, water, telecom) and adhered to all municipal and institutional safety protocols. This safeguarded the site and ensured uninterrupted academic operations throughout the project timeline.

3. Results & Impact

The waterproofing solution delivered full protection against water intrusion, eliminating the moisture problems that had plagued the basement for decades. The restored foundation is now dry, secure, and better insulated—providing a safe, usable space for future educational or operational use. Our work preserved the building’s heritage value while ensuring it meets modern performance standards.

4. Conclusion

This project demonstrates Waterproofing4Less's ability to handle complex institutional waterproofing challenges with precision and care. Our use of advanced materials, compliance with strict university standards, and commitment to long-term durability made this a successful project for one of Toronto’s most iconic educational institutions. The University of Toronto now benefits from a moisture-proof basement foundation that aligns with both historical preservation and modern functionality.

Advanced Hydro Jetting:
Our team conducted thorough hydro jetting to effectively clear years of accumulated grease and food debris from the drains. This high-pressure cleaning method restored the optimal flow capacity of the drainage system, preventing recurrent blockages.

Tailored Maintenance Plan:
In addition to the immediate cleaning, we implemented a customized maintenance plan designed to regularly service the drains. This proactive approach minimizes future clogs, reduces service interruptions, and maintains strict health compliance in the fast-paced commercial setting.

Enhanced Operational Efficiency:
By addressing drainage issues comprehensively, we improved overall kitchen functionality. The enhanced drainage system has led to fewer disruptions, enabling KFC to maintain high operational standards and uphold rigorous hygiene protocols.

3. Results & Impact

The project resulted in significantly improved drainage performance, reducing the risk of service interruptions due to clogged drains. The proactive maintenance plan not only ensures long-term reliability but also supports compliance with health and safety standards. As a result, KFC now benefits from a more efficient kitchen environment with better sanitation, contributing to smoother operations and enhanced customer satisfaction.

4. Conclusion

This project underscores our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art solutions tailored to the unique challenges of high-traffic commercial kitchens. With advanced hydro jetting and a comprehensive maintenance strategy, Waterproofing4Less has helped KFC achieve better drainage, fewer operational disruptions, and improved overall health compliance—demonstrating our expertise and dedication to excellence.

Backwater Valve Installation:
Our team installed CSA-approved backwater valves on the main sewer lines to block reverse sewage flow during heavy rains, effectively protecting basements from contamination and flood damage.

Sump Pump Installation:
We integrated high-performance sump pumps with battery backup systems to continuously remove excess water, even during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted protection.

Municipal Rebate Assistance:
We assisted Stoneridge Properties in accessing municipal rebate programs, reducing overall project costs while maximizing investment in flood protection.

Enhanced Flood Resilience:
Together, these solutions provide advanced, long-term flood resilience that safeguards property, preserves structural integrity, and protects valuable investments.

3. Results & Impact

The combined installation of backwater valves and sump pumps delivered significant improvements:

• Robust Flood Prevention: No further incidents of water intrusion or sewage backup were reported.
• Cost Savings: Municipal rebate assistance reduced overall project expenses.
• Enhanced Property Value: Flood protection upgrades increased asset durability and market appeal.
• Tenant Safety: Improved drainage and reduced moisture levels provided a safer, healthier living environment.

4. Conclusion

This project showcases Waterproofing4Less’ expertise in delivering comprehensive flood protection solutions for high-profile clients like Stoneridge Properties. By leveraging advanced backwater valve and sump pump technologies, and guiding clients through municipal rebate programs, we provided a tailored solution that not only secures properties against water damage but also enhances overall investment value.

Experience the peace of mind that comes from partnering with a trusted leader in flood protection.
