Interior Waterproofing in Ajax

Project Overview.

A young family in Ajax had just moved into their new home when they noticed dampness on the basement walls during their first few months living there. Because they were concerned about the long-term effects of water damage, they called Aquatech to assess the situation. As a result, our team designed an interior waterproofing solution that would protect their growing family’s home without disrupting their busy lives.

Challenges:

Dampness Discovered Soon After Moving In: Water stains appeared on the basement walls within the family’s first few months in the home.
Concern for a Growing Family: With young children in the home, the family needed a fast, reliable fix rather than a temporary patch.
Small Cracks and Poorly Sealed Walls: Multiple minor entry points were letting moisture into the basement.
Minimal Disruption Required: The busy family needed the work completed efficiently, without upending their daily routine.

Materials Used

DMX Drain 5M interior drainage system
Liberty sump pump
Sump pit
Hydro Guard Pro Series vapor barrier
Delta-MS dimpled membrane
Hydraulic cement for crack sealing

Solutions Implemented:

Detailed Inspection: First, our team conducted a comprehensive inspection to identify the source of the moisture, pinpointing small cracks and poorly sealed foundation walls.
Interior Drainage System Installation: Next, we installed an efficient drainage system along the basement perimeter to collect water and guide it safely into the sump pump.
Sump Pump Installation: To handle any excess water reaching the drainage system, we then set up a powerful sump pump that automatically removes water from the basement.
Vapor Barrier Application: We also applied vapor barriers to the walls, adding an extra layer of protection and reducing humidity in the basement.
Continuous Monitoring: Finally, we equipped the home with a monitoring system that alerts the family to any moisture changes before they become major issues.

After we completed the interior waterproofing, the basement stayed dry and comfortable, even during heavy rainfall. Because of this, the family felt relieved knowing their home was fully protected from water damage.

They could continue using their basement without worry, growing into the space alongside their family. In addition, the work is backed by Aquatech’s lifetime warranty, giving them lasting confidence in the results.
