Exterior Concrete Waterproofing & Basement Waterproofing Toronto
Beyond a Patchwork Fix: Addressing the Root Cause
Moisture issues can manifest in various ways, from damp walls and musty odors to visible cracks and peeling paint. While a quick fix might seem tempting, it’s crucial to address the root cause of the problem to achieve a long-lasting solution. Here’s how our comprehensive approach to concrete renovation waterproofing benefits you:
- Expert Diagnosis: We go beyond surface appearances. Our team uses specialized equipment to identify the source of the moisture intrusion, whether it’s foundation cracks, faulty drainage, or condensation issues.
- Targeted Solutions: Based on the diagnosis, we recommend a customized waterproofing solution. This ensures you receive the most effective treatment for your specific problem, avoiding unnecessary repairs.
- Long-Term Protection: Our focus is on preventing future moisture issues. We use high-quality waterproofing materials and techniques that provide long-lasting protection for your property.
- Increased Property Value: A dry and healthy basement or crawlspace can significantly increase the value and livability of your residential or commercial space.
Moisture intrusion occurs when water finds its way into your basement or other indoor spaces through cracks, foundation walls, or faulty drainage systems. This can lead to a variety of problems:
- Mold and Mildew Growth: Excess moisture creates the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew, posing health risks and causing unpleasant odors.
- Structural Damage: Over time, moisture can weaken foundation walls, floors, and support beams, leading to costly repairs.
- Increased Energy Bills: Damp basements can lead to higher humidity levels, forcing your HVAC system to work harder to maintain comfort.
- Reduced Property Value: Unaddressed moisture issues can significantly decrease the value of your property.
Concrete Block Crack Waterproofing Basement Walls Toronto
Basements, often constructed with concrete block walls, are particularly vulnerable to moisture intrusion. Here are some common causes of basement leaks and how we address them:
- Foundation Cracks: Over time, foundation walls can develop cracks that allow water to seep in. We use specialized injection techniques or sealant applications to repair these cracks and prevent future leaks.
- Faulty Drainage: Improper grading around the foundation or clogged drainage systems can lead to water pooling around the basement walls. We offer drainage solutions like weeping tiles and sump pumps to redirect water away from your foundation.
- Condensation: Basement walls can sweat due to temperature differences. We can install vapor barriers to control condensation and prevent moisture buildup.
Moisture Mitigation & Waterproofing Services
We offer a comprehensive range of services to tackle your moisture problems, catering to both residential and commercial needs:
- Residential Moisture Mitigation and Waterproofing: Protect your basement and ensure a healthy living environment with our expert solutions. We handle interior drainage systems, sump pump installations, foundation crack repair, and comprehensive waterproofing to keep moisture at bay.
- Commercial Moisture Mitigation and Waterproofing: Maintain a safe and functional space for your business with our commercial waterproofing services. We offer solutions for crawl spaces, elevator pits, and other areas susceptible to moisture intrusion.
We offer a range of services tailored to address various moisture concerns in basements and other indoor concrete structures:
- Interior Waterproofing: This involves applying a waterproofing membrane to the interior foundation walls and floor. We use high-quality materials and techniques to create a watertight barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the concrete. Our concrete waterproofing services ensure a seamless integration with existing finishes.
- Exterior Waterproofing: For certain situations, waterproofing the exterior foundation walls may be necessary. This involves excavating around the foundation and applying a waterproofing membrane to the outside walls.
- Crack Repair: Cracks in foundation walls are a potential entry point for moisture. We offer expert crack repair services using specialized materials to ensure a permanent and watertight seal.
- French Drain Installation: French drains help collect and channel groundwater away from your foundation, preventing it from entering your basement. We can assess your needs and install a French drain system to effectively manage subsurface water.
- Sump Pump Installation: Sump pumps are essential in basements with a high water table. We can install a reliable sump pump system that automatically removes excess water from your basement, preventing flooding and moisture damage.
Waterproofing Process
The specific steps involved in waterproofing your basement will vary depending on the nature of the problem and your property’s unique characteristics. Here’s a general overview of the process:
- Inspection and Assessment: Our experienced team will conduct a thorough inspection of your basement to identify the source and extent of moisture intrusion. We’ll discuss your concerns and recommend the most appropriate waterproofing solution.
- Surface Preparation: This crucial step involves removing any existing paint, debris, or loose materials from the foundation walls and floor. A clean and sound surface ensures optimal adhesion for the waterproofing membrane.
- Waterproofing Membrane Application: We use high-quality waterproofing membranes specifically designed for below-grade applications. The membrane is applied to the walls and floor with meticulous care to create a watertight barrier.
- Drainage System Installation: If necessary, we may install a French drain system or a sump pump system to manage groundwater and prevent future moisture problems.
- Backfill and Finishing Touches: Following waterproofing, we carefully backfill any excavated areas and ensure proper drainage around the foundation. We can also discuss options for finishing your newly waterproofed basement space.

Concrete Waterproofing Toronto
Garage Waterproofing Toronto
“My garage floor had extensive cracks and as a result, the central portion of it sank more than 6 inches over time, so it needed a complete tear and replace. Hubert and Paul had great reviews on Homestars and provided a very competitive quote, but more importantly made sure I was assured the work would be done properly and without taking shortcuts. They were able to fit in the work in a matter of days and once they started, they were all done on the day 3 of work, as promised. They even needed to spend much more concrete than usual, but assured me there would be no additional cost because of it. They took extra care in preparing the surface prior to pouring the concrete, patched the suspicious spots in the foundation to be sure no water comes from outside, helped with removing large items from the garage, relayed the interlock tiles all around the garage walls to slope them away from the garage and filled in with the polymeric sand to keep water away from it and properly sloped the concrete slab. While doing this work, I also asked them for a quote on repairing a couple of wooden fence posts damaged by winds and they provided reasonable one, so I ended up doing that repair with them, too at the same time. That work was done very well , too (another person came for that work), the old posts and concrete bases were taken out, the wholes were dag out and new concrete was poured quickly and in about a day, the posts and fence were fixed and back like new. I was quite happy with the whole process, the timeliness, quality of work, cleanup of the site and how my concerns were handled throughout. Hubert made sure I was completely happy and he and Paul were quite fun to work with.”
