EXterior Waterproofing in Kitchener
Project Overview.
A Kitchener homeowner reached out to Aquatech after noticing signs of water infiltration around their foundation, putting the basement at risk of moisture damage and mold growth. To protect the home long-term, they chose a full exterior waterproofing solution – excavating around the foundation, repairing any cracks, and sealing the walls against future water intrusion.
Challenges:
- Water Infiltration at the Foundation: Moisture was penetrating the foundation walls, putting the basement at risk of water damage and mold growth.
- Undetected Cracks and Defects: Hidden cracks in the foundation walls needed to be identified through excavation before any waterproofing could begin.
- Aging Waterproofing Coating: The original exterior coating was no longer providing a reliable barrier against groundwater.
- Structural Risk Over Time: Left untreated, the ongoing moisture exposure threatened the long-term structural integrity of the home.
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 inspect for cracks or structural defects.
- Crack Repair: Repaired all identified cracks and defects to restore the foundation’s structural integrity before waterproofing.
- Waterproof Membrane Application: Applied a high-quality waterproof membrane to the exterior foundation walls to block moisture from penetrating the basement.
- 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.
