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.

Materials Used

  • Aqua Bloc 770-06 waterproof membrane
  • Bakor 990-06 protective coating
  • Yellow Jacket fibre mesh reinforcement
  • Hydraulic cement for crack and joint sealing
  • 4″ x 100′ corrugated drain pipe with filter sock
  • Termination bar for membrane edge sealing

Solutions Implemented:

  1. Detailed Exterior Assessment: Conducted a thorough evaluation of the home’s exterior to pinpoint every area where water was seeping through.
  2. Waterproof Membrane Installation: Applied high-quality waterproof membrane along the exterior foundation walls to create a durable first barrier against moisture.
  3. Drainage System Upgrade: Installed new drainage components and improved the landscape grading to direct water away from the foundation.
  4. Sealing and Protective Coatings: Sealed all joints, cracks, and potential entry points, then applied weather-resistant coatings to protect exposed surfaces from the elements.
  5. Gutter and Downspout Adjustment: Inspected and corrected the gutters and downspouts to ensure water was being channeled properly away from the building.
