Interior Waterproofing in Burlington

Project Overview.

A Burlington homeowner noticed water pooling near their basement floor after a stretch of heavy spring rain. Worried about mold growth and the long-term impact on their home’s foundation, they reached out to Aquatech for a full interior waterproofing solution – one designed to handle Burlington’s lakeside humidity and seasonal rainfall without the cost of exterior excavation.

Challenges:

Water Pooling After Spring Rain: Standing water appeared near the basement floor following heavy seasonal storms.
Lakeside Humidity: Burlington’s proximity to Lake Ontario adds persistent humidity that puts extra pressure on basement walls beyond just rainfall.
Avoiding Costly Excavation: The homeowner wanted an effective fix without digging up their landscaping or driveway.
Protecting a Finished Basement: With part of the basement already finished, any repair work needed to be careful and minimally disruptive.

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 completely dry through the next round of spring storms. The new drainage system and sump pump now handle Burlington’s lakeside humidity quietly in the background, without a single sign of standing water.

Because of this, the homeowner can enjoy their finished basement space without worry. Their home is now fully protected, backed by Aquatech’s lifetime warranty.
