Basement Waterproofing Toronto

External basement waterproofing is a method of preventing water from entering a building's foundation or basement walls by creating a waterproof barrier on the outside of the structure. This barrier is designed to prevent water from penetrating the walls or foundation and entering the building, which can lead to water damage, mold, and other issues.

This methodology typically involves excavating the area around the foundation, repairing wall cracks, french drain installation, backfilling the trench and landscaping.

Exterior Waterproofing Cost - $100-$300/linear foot

Basement underpinning is a construction method that involves strengthening the foundation of a building by increasing the depth or width of the foundation. This is typically done by excavating underneath the existing foundation and installing additional supports, such as concrete or steel beams, to increase the load-bearing capacity of the foundation.

Underpinning is often used to stabilize foundations that have been weakened by soil movement, settling or other factors. It can also be used to increase the height or depth of a basement, allowing for additional living space or storage.

Sump pump installation is often a part of interior basement waterproofing. Sump pumps are mechanical devices that are used to remove excess water from the basement or crawl space of a building. It is typically installed in a sump pit, which is a hole dug into the basement floor or crawl space. The sump pump is designed to automatically activate when the water level in the sump pit reaches a certain point, and then pumps the water out of the pit and away from the building. A sump pump is a common element of internal waterproofing systems.
