Interior Waterproofing in Vaughan

Project Overview.

A Vaughan homeowner in a newer build was surprised to find dampness in their basement, having assumed a recently constructed home wouldn’t need waterproofing repairs so soon. Because even new construction can settle unevenly over time, they reached out to Aquatech for a full interior waterproofing solution – a drainage system and sump pump designed to correct the issue before it worsened.

Challenges:

Unexpected Dampness in a Newer Home: The homeowner didn’t expect water issues so soon after moving into a recently built property.
Foundation Settling Over Time: Even new construction can develop small gaps and settling issues that let moisture through.
Protecting a Recent Investment: The homeowner wanted the problem resolved quickly to protect their newly purchased home.
Avoiding a Recurring Issue: They needed a lasting solution, not a quick patch that would resurface within a few years.

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 to identify how the settling foundation was allowing water to enter.
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 settling gaps to stop moisture from getting through the walls.
Vapor Barrier Application: Finally, we applied a vapor barrier to block moisture and prevent future dampness.

Because of this, the homeowner no longer worries about early water damage undermining their investment. The work is backed by Aquatech’s lifetime warranty, giving them lasting peace of mind in their new home.
