EXterior Waterproofing in Port Credit
Project Overview.
A Port Credit homeowner reached out to Aquatech after noticing signs of water infiltration threatening their basement’s condition. To protect the home from further damage, they chose a full exterior waterproofing solution – excavating around the foundation, repairing any cracks, and sealing the walls to keep the basement dry for years to come.
Challenges:
- Water Seepage at the Foundation: Moisture was penetrating the foundation walls, putting the basement at risk of ongoing water damage.
- Hidden Cracks and Defects: Underlying cracks in the foundation needed to be exposed through excavation before any repair work could begin.
- Proximity to the Lake: Port Credit’s lakefront location and clay-heavy soil around the Credit River create a consistently high water table, adding pressure on older foundations.
- Risk to Living Conditions: Left unaddressed, the water infiltration threatened both the structural integrity of the home and the health of the living environment inside.
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 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 to create a lasting barrier against moisture.
- Weeping Tile Installation: Installed new corrugated drain pipe to safely carry groundwater away from the foundation.
- Backfilling and Site Restoration: Backfilled around the foundation and restored the property to its original condition.
