What Is Waterproofing?

A wet basement isn't just inconvenient — it damages structure, promotes mould, and devalues your property. We offer both interior and exterior waterproofing systems for Toronto and GTA homes, tailored to your water entry point, foundation type, and budget.

Our crews work across Toronto and all 30 GTA municipalities — we know the local permit offices, soil conditions, and site constraints that affect your project.

Our Process

01

Water Entry Assessment

We identify the source: wall cracks, floor-wall joint, window wells, cold joints, or hydrostatic pressure through the slab. The method follows the source.

02

Interior System Installation

Interior drainage channel is saw-cut into the perimeter of the slab, a perforated pipe drains to a new sump pit, and a dimple-board membrane is installed against the foundation wall.

03

Exterior Excavation (if required)

Exterior waterproofing requires excavating to the footing, cleaning the foundation wall, applying a rubber waterproofing membrane, installing drainage board and weeping tile, and backfilling with gravel.

04

Sump Pump Installation

A pedestal or submersible sump pump with a battery backup is installed in the new pit. We test the system under load before closing.

05

Wall Crack Injection

Active cracks are injected with polyurethane or epoxy depending on whether the crack is moving or static. We seal from the interior in most cases.

06

Final Slab Repair

Cut perimeter channels are filled and finished, and any disturbed flooring is repaired to a clean finish.

Permits & City Requirements

Interior waterproofing generally does not require a permit. Exterior waterproofing that involves excavation may require a permit in some municipalities if it disturbs grade near the property line. Adding a new sump pump and pit typically does not require a permit. We'll advise based on your scope and municipality.

Permit requirements vary by municipality and scope. We'll identify what's required during the site visit and advise on expected timelines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Interior vs. exterior — which is better? +
Exterior waterproofing is the gold standard — it stops water at the source. Interior systems manage water that has already entered. Exterior is typically 2–3× more expensive due to excavation cost. Many homeowners choose interior for budget reasons.
How long does interior waterproofing take? +
A full-perimeter interior drainage system on an average Toronto semi takes 2–4 days.
Will waterproofing disrupt my basement? +
Interior work requires cutting the slab and removing flooring around the perimeter. We clean up thoroughly, but the basement will be unusable for the duration.
How long does the warranty last? +
Our interior systems carry a transferable lifetime warranty. Exterior waterproofing carries a 25-year warranty. Ask for specifics during your quote.
Do you handle mould remediation? +
We do not perform mould remediation — that requires a separate certified remediation contractor. We can recommend one. Waterproofing stops the moisture source; remediation handles existing growth.
Can you waterproof a block foundation? +
Yes — masonry block foundations are common in GTA homes built between the 1940s and 1980s. Block requires different treatment (parging, membrane, weeping tile) than poured wall systems.
