Exterior Waterproofing in Vaughan
Project Overview.
A Vaughan homeowner reached out to Aquatech after noticing signs of water infiltration threatening their foundation’s condition. To protect the home from further damage, they chose a full exterior waterproofing solution – excavating around the foundation, applying a waterproof membrane, and upgrading drainage to keep the basement dry for years to come.
Challenges:
- Water Infiltration at the Foundation: Moisture was seeping through the foundation walls, putting the basement at risk of ongoing water damage.
- Harsh Local Climate and Soil Conditions: Vaughan’s soil and weather patterns required a membrane specifically suited to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and moisture exposure.
- Inadequate Water Management: The existing drainage setup wasn’t directing water away from the foundation, allowing it to pool near the home.
- Debris and Obstructions Around the Foundation: Accumulated debris around the foundation needed to be cleared before waterproofing could begin.
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:
- Excavation and Preparation: Carefully excavated around the home’s foundation to expose the full extent of the exterior walls, removing all debris and obstructive materials to prepare for waterproofing.
- Waterproofing Application: Applied a high-quality, durable waterproof membrane to the exterior foundation walls, specially selected for its resistance to Vaughan’s climate and soil conditions.
- Drainage Improvement: Installed a new weeping tile system along with proper grading of the landscape to direct water away from the foundation.
- Restoration and Final Inspection: Restored the excavated areas with careful attention to landscaping details, then conducted a final inspection to confirm everything was functioning as intended.
