Differences Between Interior & Exterior Basement Waterproofing

Technically, interior basement waterproofing is not waterproofing, but rather a method to manage water in your basement. In a nutshell, in this waterproofing option water still seeps through the cracks in your basement, but it's directed to the waterproofing membrane and into the weeping tiles. This water is then collected into a sump pump that pushes the water outside your home.

Exterior basement waterproofing - is a more complex process that involves excavating the ground around the foundation of your home, detecting basement cracks, repairing them, and applying multiple layers of waterproof coating to your basement that prevents water from entering your basement in the first place.

Here is the main differences between the two basement waterproofing options:

 

  1. Location: Exterior waterproofing involves work outside the house, while interior waterproofing is done inside the basement.
     

  2. Access: Exterior waterproofing requires excavation around the foundation to access the exterior walls, while interior waterproofing only requires access to the inside of the basement.
     

  3. Cost: Exterior waterproofing is generally more expensive than interior waterproofing because it involves excavation and may require landscaping repairs after the work is complete.
     

  4. Method: Exterior waterproofing involves the application of a waterproof membrane or coating to the outside of the foundation walls. Interior waterproofing doesn't prevent water from entering your basement, but rather manages it through a drainage system and a sump pump to prevent water from accumulating inside the basement.
     

  5. Effectiveness: Exterior waterproofing is generally considered to be more effective than interior waterproofing because it addresses the problem at its source, preventing water from entering the foundation walls. Interior waterproofing only manages the water that has already entered the basement.
     

In summary, exterior basement waterproofing is a more comprehensive and effective solution to preventing water damage, but it is also more expensive and invasive. Interior waterproofing is a less expensive and less invasive solution, but it may not be as effective in preventing water damage. The choice between the two methods will depend on various factors such as budget, the severity of the water problem, and the construction of the home.

Basement Waterproofing Options & Details

What is Included in Basement Waterproofing Services Richmond Hill?

Basement-Waterproofing-Infographics.png

Exterior basement waterproofing is a process of preventing water from entering a basement by applying a waterproofing membrane or coating to the outside of the foundation walls. This process involves excavation around the foundation walls to expose the exterior walls and allow access to the surface. The walls are then cleaned and prepared for the application of waterproofing material. This material forms a barrier against water penetration and prevents water from entering the basement through the walls.

French Drain Installation

A French drain is a type of drainage system designed to redirect water away from a building or property. It is typically used to prevent water from accumulating around a foundation, basement, or crawl space, which can lead to water damage and other problems.

As water enters the French drain through the perforations in the pipe, it flows into the gravel or stone and is carried away from the foundation or other areas that need to be protected. The gravel or stone helps to filter the water and prevent debris from clogging the pipe.

Foundation Repairs

Foundation repair is the process of repairing and strengthening the foundation of a building. The foundation is part of a building that supports the weight of the structure and distributes it to the ground. When the foundation is compromised, it can cause problems throughout the building, such as sagging floors, cracked walls, and doors and windows that don't close properly, basement leaks and more.

Emergency Basement Flood Repair

Basement water damage are tough to handle, it's even harder when you have a basement flood. Our flood restoration experts will help quickly assess the basement damage and will use commercial-grade blowers and dehumidifiers to prevent further damage to your property.

Internal basement waterproofing is a method of preventing water from entering a basement by managing water that has already entered the basement. This is typically done by installing a drainage system and a sump pump inside the basement. The drainage system is installed around the perimeter of the basement floor and collects water that seeps through the foundation walls and the floor. The collected water is then directed to the sump pump, which pumps the water out of the basement and away from the foundation of the home.

A sump pump is a device that is installed in a basement or crawlspace to prevent flooding and water damage by removing excess water from the area. The pump is typically installed in a pit or basin, called a sump pit, which collects water that has accumulated in the basement or crawlspace.

When the water level in the sump pit rises to a certain level, the sump pump is activated and begins to pump the water out of the pit and away from the home's foundation through a discharge pipe. The pump is typically powered by electricity and is equipped with a float switch or sensor that automatically turns the pump on and off as needed.

Basement Sewage Cleanup

Sewage clean-up in a basement can be a difficult task, but with the right knowledge and tools, it can be a successful venture.  A critical exercise when it comes to ensuring health & safety of your home.

Weeping tile installation and weeping tile cleaning services are crucial parts of making sure your wet basement problems are solved. A weeping tile drainage system will help collect water around your foundation and will direct it away. This way the amount of water around your basement is reduced which can help reduce the damage it can do to the foundation walls and your basement.

Basement crack injection is a method of foundation crack repairs in concrete basement walls and floors by injecting an epoxy solution into the crack. The epoxy material fills the crack and hardens, effectively sealing the crack and preventing further water intrusion.

Basement underpinning is a process of strengthening and stabilizing a home's foundation by excavating soil beneath the existing foundation and extending the foundation's depth. This process is typically done to increase the height of the basement or crawlspace, reinforce a weak foundation, or repair damage caused by settling or shifting soil.

Window wells are installed outside basement windows to provide a clear space for the window, allow natural light into the basement, and prevent water damage.

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.
