Basement waterproofing involves techniques and materials used to prevent water from penetrating the basement of a house or a building. Waterproofing a basement that is below ground level can require the application of sealant materials, the installation of drains and sump pumps, and more.
Waterproofing is usually required by building codes for structures that are built at or below ground level. Waterproofing and drainage considerations are especially important in cases where ground water is likely to build up in the soil or where there is a high water table.
Water in the soil causes hydrostatic pressure to be exerted underneath basement floors and walls. This hydrostatic pressure can force water in through cracks, which can cause major structural damage as well as mold, decay, and other moisture-related problems.
We are a qualified group of building and construction professionals. The materials we inject below concrete have been specifically engineered to resist shrinkage or deterioration causing significant settlement. Our team has decades of hands on experience fixing structural problems, including lifting, re-levelling and re-supporting homes, factories, warehouses, commercial buildings and many other kinds of ground structures.

There are two basic processes to Basement Waterproofing:
Exterior Basement Waterproofing
The exterior basement waterproofing method needs excavation and exposing of the foundation wall. We clean and inspect the outside of the wall for any cracks. Once excavated, we seal the walls with waterproofing membrane and weeping tiles or new drainage is positioned on the side of the footing. The final step is that we check the weeping tile connection to the drain or sump to ensure it is working perfectly.
Repairing the foundation of your home is an important and tricky task. It requires good hands, technical expertise and ample experience. Most foundation problems are the result of soil-related problems like overloading, poor compaction, poor waterproofing, erosion, excessive organic materials and expansive soils that shrink or expand with the changing moisture content of the soil. These can result in stresses that harm the foundation as well as an overall structure of the house.
Interior Basement Waterproofing Toronto
The interior basement waterproofing process is for those who do not want to disfigure the outside appearance of their house. It ensures that landscaping is not harmed in any way. In this method drip moldings and wall vapor/barriers/retarders are installed to collect water seeping from wall cracks and other wall defects of the foundation. The water is directed to a drain which directs itself to a sump pump and finally the sump pump helps the water to flow out of the basement.
Underpinning & Lowering Basement
Underpinning your house with good quality foundation repair materials will ensure the strength of the foundation, whether it is a slab on grade, a crawl space or a basement made of concrete pour or block.
For most of us, our house is the biggest investment we make. Foundation problems can really threaten that asset by causing severe structural damage, thereby reducing the value of the house.
Backflow protection
Concerned about preventative maintenance then, backflow prevention is one of the most important and smartest investments a house owner can make. Did you know that in certain areas, it is compulsory to install a backflow prevention device when you construct a new house close to lakes? The team at yyyyy is proficient in backflow prevention because we have worked extensively in these areas. When the water table reaches way past the shoreline, you don’t want flood in your basement.
The backflow prevention device is designed to act as a gateway to shield your house. It also works as the main cleanout. Previously, storm and sanitary sewer mains were directed out at the streets. During a flash flooding, these could not handle the load, resulting in flooding of the basements. With the backflow prevention device, you can prevent that. The device has to be installed properly. Water can be stopped way before it enters the drain of your building. However, if there is continuous use of the plumbing system with the preventer activated, it may result in a little show of water at the floor drain because it is the lower-most open connection to the line. This is an indication that the sewer line is blocked and needs professional intervention. What makes it easy to use the device is its clear attached lid that is easily removed. The fittings must be checked once in a while round the year to ensure that they are still in a working condition. We are a team of experienced professionals and would be happy to help to install a backflow prevention device in your basement to keep your home fresh and dry.
Moisture Control
It is important to keep the humidity in your basement below 45% relative humidity. While this may be possible in the winter with the furnace running, it is not so easy in the summer. Unless you have a means to control moisture, you may be fighting a losing battle against mold and mildew in your home.
