Which Foundation Waterproofing Method is Right for you?
Exterior vs Interior Basement Waterproofing
Both interior and exterior waterproofing methods have their own advantages and are often used in combination to provide comprehensive protection against water intrusion. The choice between interior and exterior waterproofing depends on factors such as the severity of the water issue, the condition of the structure, budget constraints, and local building codes.
Interior waterproofing - involves addressing water issues from within the structure, typically in the basement or foundation walls. It focuses on managing water that has already entered the building and directs it away to prevent damage.
Exterior waterproofing is a more comprehensive, but also more expensive basement waterproofing approach that involves preventing water from entering the structure in the first place. It is typically done during the construction or renovation phase of a building.
Before you decide on which basement waterproofing method to go for, we highly recommend consulting a professional basement waterproofing contractor who will design the right approach for your specific scenario.
What Services are Included in Basement Waterproofing Cambridge?
Basement Waterproofing can Include Some of the Following Services

One of the first steps in the basement waterproofing process is to design the right solution for your goals, the extent of the foundation damage, and your budget. Here are a couple of services we pick from when designing a solution for your property in Cambridge.
Exterior waterproofing is a process of applying protective measures to the exterior surfaces, such as foundation walls, of a building or structure to prevent water infiltration. It involves excavating the area, applying a waterproof membrane, installing drainage systems, and ensuring proper grading to redirect water away from the structure.
Exterior Waterproofing Cost - $100-$300/linear foot
A sump pump is used to remove water that has accumulated in a sump basin or pit, typically located in the basement of a home or building. The sump pump is designed to automatically turn on when the water level in the sump basin reaches a certain level, and pump the water out of the pit and away from the building. It is important to make sure that the sump pump is properly maintained & services as a broken sump pump can lead to a basement flood.
Sump Pump Installation Cost Cambridge - $500-$3,600
Basement plumbing rough-ins & basement bathroom rough-ins are some of the most popular services along with new construction waterproofing. They involve our team of basement waterproofing contractors installing pipes and vents for the plumbing system in new construction projects. This service involves routing pipes through wall cavities, running vent stacks to the roof, laying underground pipes, and installing fixtures and end elements etc.
If you are experiencing wet basement problems or see foundation leaks on your walls, this could be a sign that you need a foundation leak repair. The first step is often foundation leak detection. Our teams are trained to deliver quality foundation leak detection & repair services and have all the necessary equipment with them. Let us find the leak in your basement & do the foundation crack repair to address it!
Interior waterproofing is a method of addressing water issues from within a building or structure. It involves techniques like installing interior drainage systems, sump pumps, and applying waterproof coatings or sealants to manage and redirect water that has already entered the interior space, such as basements or foundation walls, to prevent damage. Interior waterproofing does not prevent water from entering the foundation, but can help manage the water that has already made it in and pump the water out.
Interior Waterproofing Cost Cambridge - $70-$350/linear foot
Window Well Installation
Crawlspace encapsulation is the process of sealing the crawl space of a building with a vapor barrier to prevent moisture and other environmental elements from entering. The encapsulation process involves sealing the walls and floors of the crawl space with a heavy-duty plastic sheet or other barrier material, along with sealing any openings, such as vents or pipes.
Window Well Installation Cost Cambridge - $1,600-$4,000
Foundation repair involves addressing structural issues and damages in a building's foundation. It typically includes identifying and addressing problems such as settling, cracks, or shifting in the foundation walls or slab, and implementing corrective measures to stabilize and restore the structural integrity of the foundation, ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the building.
Foundation crack repair refers to the process of fixing cracks that have developed in the foundation walls or floor of a building or structure. It typically involves identifying the source of the crack, cleaning the area, and applying appropriate sealing materials or injection techniques to prevent further water infiltration and structural issues. When left unrepaired, foundation cracks can lead to basement water leaks, and serious structural issues, as well as water intrusion, mold growth, and other problems. That's why it's important to do foundation crack repairs as soon as you find even hairline cracks.
Foundation Crack Repair Cost Cambridge - $1,500-$3,200
Basement underpinning is the process that helps increase the strength of the foundation as well as lower the basement floors. Basement underpinning is a popular service in Kitchener & Waterloo area because it allow homeowners to add an extra floor of space to their house, thus increasing the amount of space and the value of their property.
Weeping tiles, also known as perimeter drains or French drains, are drainage systems installed around the exterior or interior of the foundation of a building. These perforated pipes are placed in a bed of gravel and are designed to collect and redirect groundwater away from the foundation, preventing water accumulation and potential water damage to the structure.

Basement Waterproofing Reviews
What Our Clients Say?

Stephanie G.
Residential Client
I used Aquamaster for two separate home waterproofing projects and I was extremely satasified with their work and price. Their team are highly skilled, thorough and were able to complete the 10.5 hour job in one day. They were even kind enough to seal my window frame after I noticed a minor leak. I would highly recommend Aquamaster for all your waterproofing and plumbing needs.
The Aquamaster team is absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond to diagnose and correct the problem that I had with my basement plumbing caused by old pipes and persistent tree roots. I used them once in 2012 and in 2020. I cannot say enough good things about this team - Highly recommend.
