ed with a weeping tile to the sump pump that pumps the water from the basement outside. This method is technically not waterproofing, but rather a technique designed to manage basement water.

Interior Waterproofing Cost – $70-$350/linear foot

Exterior Waterproofing Thornhill

This approach to waterproofing involves applying a waterproofing membrane to the wall of the building from the outside. This minimizes the amount of water that will get to the wall of your basement and as a result, minimizes potential water damage to the walls and basement leaks. It’s an expensive, but also durable method.

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

Basement Underpinning Thornhill

Basement underpinning and floor lowering deepens the basement by excavating the existing floor to create more headroom. This process often includes strengthening the foundation to support the lowered floor, allowing for increased usable space in the basement.

Basement Underpinning Cost – $85-$450 per linear foot

Sump Pump Installation & Repair Thornhill

Sump pump installation sets up a pump in the basement to remove excess water and prevent flooding. It is a vital component of basement waterproofing, especially in areas prone to high water tables. In some cases, more than one sump pump may be necessary to deal with the water that makes it to your basement. Some locations offer waterproofing rebates that sometimes include sump pump installations.

Sump Pump Installation Cost – $500-$3,600

Foundation Crack Repair Thornhill

Foundation crack repair involves identifying and fixing cracks in a building’s foundation. It is a critical service to maintain the structural integrity of a building and prevent water infiltration through these cracks.

Foundation Crack Repair Cost – $1,500-$3,200

Backwater Valve Installation Thornhill

Backwater valve installation is a preventive measure to stop sewage from flowing back into a building during heavy rainfall or flooding. It protects the interior plumbing system from sewer backup.

Window Well Installation Thornhill

During the window well installation a concrete, metal or plastic well will be added to your windows. These wells are equipped with a drainage system and prevent water from accumulating around the window and flooding the basement. In some cases, window wells also provide a means of escape in case of emergency. Aquamaster also offers an egress window installation service that can add an additional window to your basement.

Window Well Installation Cost – $1,600-$4,000

Crawlspace Encapsulation & Conversion Thornhill

If you have a crawlspace there are two ways to go – crawlspace encapsulation (preventing wet basement issues) or crawlspace conversion (converts the crawlspace into a basement with plenty of headroom). These projects can involve a variety of secondary steps such as crawlspace leveling, installation a dehumidifier, repairing wall cracks, mold removal, sump pump installation and more.

Weeping Tile Installation & French Drain Thornhill

Weeping tile installation and French drains are drainage systems that help redirect groundwater away from a building’s foundation. These systems prevent water from accumulating around the foundation and are crucial for basement waterproofing.

Frequently asked questions

Cost of Waterproofing in Thornhill

The cost of waterproofing in Thornhill varies depending on several factors. These include the size of your basement, the extent of the problem, and the method of waterproofing chosen. It’s best to get a personalized quote from a reputable waterproofing company.

How long does basement waterproofing take in Thornhill?

In Thornhill, the duration of basement waterproofing depends on the extent of the work required. Usually, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

What causes basement cracks?

Basement cracks can be caused by a variety of factors. These include soil pressures, water pressure, terrain sloping towards your home, and foundation settlement or movement. It is important to get professional advice if you notice cracks in your basement.

What is the difference between exterior and interior waterproofing?

The key difference between exterior and interior waterproofing is where they are applied. Exterior waterproofing is done outside the home and serves as a barrier to prevent water from entering the property, while interior waterproofing primarily deals with managing the water once it has already entered the basement.

Yes, basement waterproofing is beneficial for property value. A dry basement is more usable, whether for living space or storage, and it mitigates potential issues such as mold growth. Future buyers often prioritize houses with waterproofed basements. It could become a unique selling point for your property.
