Interior Waterproofing in Brantford

Project Overview.

A Brantford homeowner reached out to Aquatech after noticing signs of water seeping into their basement. Because they were concerned about mold growth and long-term damage, they chose a full interior waterproofing solution – installing a drainage system and sump pump to redirect water away from the foundation for good.

Challenges:

Water Seeping Into the Basement: Moisture was entering through the basement walls and floor, raising concerns about mold and long-term damage.
Desire for a Less Invasive Fix: The homeowner wanted a solution that avoided the cost and disruption of exterior excavation.
Risk to Structural Integrity: Left untreated, ongoing moisture exposure threatened the basement’s condition and the home’s structure.
Preventing Future Water Issues: The solution needed to hold up reliably through Brantford’s heavy rain seasons, not just offer a temporary fix.

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:

Initial Inspection: We inspected the basement thoroughly to identify where water was entering and how severe the damage was.
Interior Drainage System Installation: We installed a drainage system along the basement perimeter to intercept water before it could cause damage.
Sump Pump Installation: We installed a reliable sump pump to actively remove any collected water and keep the basement dry.
Crack and Joint Sealing: We sealed all cracks and potential entry points to stop moisture from getting through the walls.
Vapor Barrier Application: Finally, we applied a vapor barrier to block moisture and prevent future dampness.

After we completed the project, the basement stayed dry even through heavy rain. The new drainage system and sump pump now work quietly together to keep water out for good.

Because of this, the homeowner no longer worries about mould growth or long-term damage to their basement. Their home is now fully protected against water intrusion, backed by Aquatech’s lifetime warranty.
