Basement Waterproofing

Canada’s seasonal rain, freeze and thaw cycle can result in water leakage. Canadians generally feel the effects of water leakage in their basements. Because basements are usually built at either ground level or below ground level, ground water, and sometimes inadequate drainage systems can cause pressure called hydrostatic pressure. This pressure builds up against basement walls, resulting in leakage. Basement Waterproofing can be used to counteract the “leaky” effects of hydrostatic pressure.

Water leakage can occur when water seeps through cracks, joints, windows and even concrete, causing wet and, in severe cases, flooded basements. A leaky basement can limit one’s storage and useful living space and, due to excessive moisture, can result in the growth of mould and mildew, which can in turn cause major health issues. Also, it can devalue one’s property by affecting structural integrity and thus presenting costs that will be a deterrent to a buyer or force pre-sale costs out of an owner’s pocket.
