Exterior Waterproofing in Hamilton
Project Overview
A Hamilton homeowner contacted Aquatech after facing persistent water infiltration along their exterior walls and foundation, especially during heavy rainfall. Concerned about long-term structural damage and worsening living conditions, they turned to Aquatech for a full exterior waterproofing solution designed to stop water intrusion at the source and protect the home for years to come.
Challenges:
- Persistent Water Infiltration: Water was seeping through the exterior walls and foundation during heavy rain, threatening the structural integrity of the home.
- Inadequate Drainage Around the Foundation: The existing drainage setup wasn’t directing water away from the property, allowing it to collect near the foundation.
- Hard-to-Reach Problem Areas: Several sections of the exterior showing water damage were difficult to access, requiring specialized equipment to treat effectively.
- Poor Gutter and Downspout Performance: Misdirected gutters and downspouts were contributing to water pooling near the foundation instead of channeling it away.
