Exterior Waterproofing in East York
Project Overview.
An East York homeowner reached out to Aquatech after noticing signs of water infiltration around their foundation, putting the basement at risk of water damage and structural issues. To protect the home long-term, they chose a full exterior waterproofing solution – excavating around the foundation, repairing any cracks or defects, and applying a high-quality waterproof membrane to keep the basement dry and livable for years to come.
Challenges:
- Water Infiltration at the Foundation: Moisture was entering through the foundation walls, putting the basement at risk of ongoing water damage.
- Undetected Cracks and Defects: Hidden cracks in the foundation needed to be exposed through excavation before any waterproofing could take place.
- Aging Homes and Older Foundations: Many East York properties have older foundations that require specialized techniques to seal effectively without compromising the structure.
- Risk to a Healthy, Habitable Space: Left untreated, the ongoing moisture exposure threatened both the structural integrity of the home and the comfort of the living space below grade.
Materials Used
- Aqua Bloc 770-06 waterproof membrane
- Yellow Jacket fibre mesh reinforcement
- Hydraulic cement for crack sealing
- 4″ x 100′ corrugated drain pipe with filter sock
- Termination bar for membrane edge sealing
Solutions Implemented:
- Foundation Excavation: Excavated around the foundation to expose the walls and identify any cracks or structural defects.
- Crack and Defect Repair: Repaired all identified cracks and defects to restore the foundation’s structural integrity.
- Waterproof Membrane Application: Applied a high-quality waterproof membrane and coating to the exterior foundation walls, creating a durable barrier against moisture.
- Weeping Tile Installation: Installed new corrugated drain pipe to carry groundwater safely away from the foundation.
- Backfilling and Site Restoration: Backfilled around the foundation and restored the property to its original condition.
