Basement Waterproofing Guelph

Exterior basement waterproofing is a method of preventing water infiltration into a building's basement by applying a waterproof membrane or coating to the exterior walls of the foundation. Exterior basement waterproofing is considered to be one of the most effective ways to prevent water damage. That's because exterior basement waterproofing actually prevents water from interacting with the foundation of your property. As a result, water has almost no chance of getting inside your basement or causing damage to the structure of the property.

Oftentimes, sump pumps are a part of the interior basement waterproofing. Sump pumps are used to pump out the water that was collected in your basement. Broken sump pumps can lead to flooding in your basement or cause mold & mildew growth. That's why you should always maintain your sump pump in good working condition and get sump pump repairs as soon as it breaks.

Plumbing rough-ins refer to the initial installation of plumbing pipes and fixtures before the walls, floors, and finishes are completed in a building construction or renovation project. It involves positioning and connecting the main water supply lines, drainage pipes, vent pipes, and any necessary plumbing fixtures to ensure proper functioning and distribution of water and waste within the building.

Internal waterproofing is a water management solution that focuses on controlling and managing water that has already entered the basement, as opposed to preventing water from making it through in the first place. Interior basement waterproofing involves the installation of drainage systems, sump pumps, and moisture barriers to redirect and remove water from your basement. Interior basement waterproofing is often more affordable compared to the exterior waterproofing option, but it also requires maintenance and won't protect the structure of the foundation.

Basement floods can be caused by various factors such as heavy rainfall, improper grading, foundation cracks, faulty drainage systems, broken pipes, or groundwater seepage.

Additionally, water cleanup and restoration measures such as drying, dehumidification, and repairing damaged walls or flooring may be necessary.

Basement underpinning is a construction technique used to strengthen or increase the depth of an existing basement's foundation. It involves excavating below the existing foundation and adding additional layers or reinforcing the foundation walls to enhance their load-bearing capacity, stability, and overall structural integrity. In addition, basement underpinning also lowers the basement floor and effectively adds an additional full-height floor to your property. 

Foundation crack repair refers to the process of fixing cracks or gaps that have formed in a building's foundation.
