The Importance of Your Basement

The basement is an essential part of any home. Even though your basement may not have experienced flooding in years, you still have to perform regular checks as a homeowner. 

Many times, massive damage may be present deep inside the cracks of the wall. Thus, as a homeowner, it’s important to check for cracks on a regular basis.

Warning signs of water damage

Residential Wet Basement Waterproofing Services In Toronto After Heavy Rain

Your basement needs more care just as the ground that surrounds it. This is one of the main reasons that it easily gets soaked with rainwater. 

Some of the most common effects of heavy rain on your house include water leakage, wall cracks, foundation cracks, mould growth, moisture, dampness, and withering of the furnishings and floor in the basement area. 

Many of these issues often emerge due to the water pressure during heavy downpours.

How Heavy Rain Affects Your Home

  • Heavy, persistent rain can saturate the soil and thus, can create hydrostatic pressure in it. This pressure is responsible for the moisture and water seepage into your basement through walls and floors.
  • Soil surrounds your basement foundation, as it is below the ground level. The looser the soil content is, the more it can absorb the rainwater. The soaked soil expands and thus creates lateral pressure, which deforms the basement foundation. This also results in leaky basement problems.
  • During heavy rain, your window well can get filled with water. This can also cause water leakage problems in your basement. Your drain can also get clogged with rainwater and can lead to water seeping from the walls in your basement.

Cost Of Basement Waterproofing In Toronto

In Toronto, the average cost of exterior basement waterproofing is $96 per linear foot. However, the total cost can vary based on the size of the area, the extent of damage, and the complexity of the project. On average, the total cost of exterior waterproofing may range between $2,000 and $27,000. It is important to understand that while the cost of exterior waterproofing is higher than interior waterproofing, it provides long-term protection against water damage.

The size of your basement space

The type of your basement foundation

The type of basement foundation affects the average waterproofing cost. If you have a simple basement layout, it is going to cost you less to repair. 

On the other hand, if your basement features a complex design, then the repair costs might be higher.

Most modern Toronto waterproofing basements feature poured concrete foundation, which is usually easy to repair. The concrete foundation often results in lower repair costs. 

Homes with block or brick foundations often require plenty of resources, resulting in higher repair costs.

DMX AG Foundation Wrap

These membranes are formulated to help control the moisture responsible for affecting concrete foundations.

The wrap creates an air gap between the basement wall and damp soil, which allows concrete block wall and poured concrete breathability. The gap provides a smooth drainage path for water.

Ways to stop water seeping through concrete walls

You can follow the basic steps mentioned below to protect your property investment in Toronto and keep your basement dry.

  • During rain, your drains may experience clogging and start overflowing. You can remove leaves and litter from the gutters with the help of leaf guards and downspout extenders. This will help to keep the soil around your building from getting saturated.
  • You can invest in installing a window well cover that will help keep the window well free from leaves and other wastes. This will eventually reduce the clogging and water seepage in the basement.
  • It would be best if you always made efforts to improve the grading around your house area. It is important to keep the soil away from your house so that the water does not enter the basement foundation.

Aquatech was wonderful right from the first contact to having Richard come out and give us a very complete and detailed quote to the two man crew who were here exactly on time and completed the day hours ahead of time. All the locates were taken care of and within a week of contacting them the job was completed. The workman did a fabulous job and were very respectful of our property. They reviewed the scope of the work before they started and asked if we had any questions. When the work was complete it was difficult to see where they had worked and dug the trench. Everything was tidier than before they started. We are very impressed and in a world where household repair companies can be less than favourable, Aquatech stands head and shoulders above any of them. We would highly recommend this company. We also have a life time transferable warranty too. Bravo. We will definitely be telling all the people we know about our wonderful experience. Thank you.

We had a flood disaster the day after we got the keys for our new home. Aquatech Waterproofing responded to my request for help quickly and came to access the damages the same day. They gave us several options for repairs as well as prevention that were fairly priced and a quick turnaround time. They executed our chosen plan quickly and did a beautiful job. They have been very responsive, answering questions about the products we chose and we recommend them to anyone that needs quality work done in a timely manner. Very compassionate and empathetic for our situation as well.

AquaTech is very professional and reliable. Valentina was very friendly, she scheduled the appointment at a convenient time and Nico came out to look at my problem. He diagnosed it and gave me a reasonable price. We went ahead with the job. The crew that came out to do it was very knowledgeable and professional. I had some questions and Igor explained everything to me with no problem. I highly recommend this company. Thank you AquaTech!

EXCELLENT experience. Andrew was the first one to arrive and was extremely kind and helpful. Igor and Basil joined Andrew a few minutes later and all three of them worked very hard and finished this massive job in one day. These are some of the hardest workers I have ever seen. There were no hassles or surprises and Andrew, Igor and Basil were very skilled and courteous. Also, Nico was VERY flexible with our constant changes of plans and was very accommodating and understanding. An excellent experience all around - could not recommend more highly!

Much thanks & appreciation to Slava & his hardworking crew for their excellent job excavating, installing weeping tiles & pipe, repairing cracks, waterproofing, and backfilling the 7'-deep trench 27' along the full side of our home.
