Protect your home’s foundation and prevent costly damage. Beyond Construction, your trusted basement waterproofing contractor in Toronto, understands the importance of a stable foundation in maintaining your home’s integrity. Common causes of wet basements, such as heavy rainfall, melting snow, and flooding, can increase pressure on your foundation. If left unchecked, these issues can lead to significant structural damage to your foundation and basement walls, resulting in expensive repairs such as foundation replacement or mould removal.

Factors we Consider before Underpinning

We base our waterproofing services on your home’s unique needs, including foundation repair and advanced drainage systems, to ensure a dry, secure basement. We know that waterproofing isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Several factors influence the best course of action for your property:

The slope and drainage around your foundation affect hydrostatic pressure. We evaluate how water moves around your home and identify the best redirecting method.

Whether your foundation consists of concrete, concrete block, brick, or stone, each material demands specific waterproofing techniques. We possess the expertise to tackle the unique challenges presented by each type.

A weeping tile system is essential for directing water away from your foundation. We inspect, repair, or replace damaged or clogged systems to prevent water accumulation.

    Signs You Need Basement Waterproofing

    We go beyond simply fixing the symptoms; we identify the root cause. Our experienced team assesses your foundation, looking for telltale signs like:

    • Hairline cracks in the foundation walls
    • Efflorescence (white, powdery mineral deposits)

    Benefits of Basement Waterproofing

    ✓ Reinforce Stability

    A solid waterproofing foundation is important for your home’s structural integrity. Basement waterproofing strengthens your foundation, preventing cracks and settling caused by hydrostatic pressure and moisture. By addressing potential weaknesses, you ensure your home remains stable and avoid costly foundation repairs due to water damage.

    ✓ Prevent Flooding

    A waterproof basement acts as a barrier against unexpected flooding. Effective waterproofing eliminates the risk of a wet basement, protecting your belongings and preventing extensive water damage. Our waterproofing services include advanced drainage systems, such as sump pump installation (with backup options), weeping tile systems, backwater valves, and sealant applications, ensuring your basement remains dry even during heavy rainfall.

    ✓ Better Quality of Health

    A damp, untreated basement encourages mould and mildew growth, leading to poor air quality and potential health issues. Basement waterproofing creates a healthier living environment. By eliminating moisture, you prevent the development of allergens and irritants, ensuring clean, breathable air throughout your home and protecting your family’s well-being.

    ✓ Improve Energy Efficiency

    A dry, waterproof basement contributes to better insulation and energy efficiency. Moisture can compromise a home’s insulation, leading to increased energy consumption. Waterproofing your basement creates a consistent thermal barrier, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling and lowering energy bills.

    ✓ Increase Home Value

    A professionally waterproof basement is a great asset, increasing your home’s market value. Potential buyers recognize the importance of a dry, stable foundation. Investing in basement waterproofing shows proactive maintenance and provides peace of mind, making your property more attractive and increasing its resale potential.

    ✓ Invest Now, Save Later

    Investing in basement waterproofing helps prevent future repair costs and can lead to potential financial assistance. Toronto’s basement flooding subsidy program reimburses up to 80% of the cost of installing a backwater valve or sump pump, allowing you to protect your home while maximizing your savings.

    Proactive waterproofing also prevents structural damage, mould growth, and property loss. By investing in our waterproofing services now, you protect your investment and avoid the financial burden of extensive repairs caused by a wet basement in the future, providing you with a sense of security and peace of mind.

    FAQ

    Basement underpinning is the process of lowering your foundation to reinforce and strengthen it to either correct foundational issues or ensure your basement is up to code. Underpinning contractors dig up the soil underneath the basement so the basement can be lowered. When the soil is removed, additional concrete is poured onto the new surface area, strengthening it and making it more secure. An additional benefit of basement underpinning is that it gives the basement more height, making it more usable and comfortable. Given the complexity of this task, it must be done by qualified and experienced underpinning contractors in Toronto.

    The duration of the basement underpinning process depends on several factors, including the size of the basement, the extent of the work required, and the specific conditions of your property. On average, a typical underpinning project can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. However, more complex projects or larger basements may take longer.

    The cost of waterproofing your basement will vary based on the method used, the size of the basement, and the scope of the project. But on average, waterproofing contractors in Toronto will charge anywhere from $70 to $350 per linear foot. The average cost for basement waterproofing is $100 per linear foot. It’s important to note that the cost of interior waterproofing and exterior waterproofing differs, with exterior waterproofing costing more. If waterproofing is being done as a result of moisture issues, the extent of the damage will impact the cost. In general, expect to spend between $15,000 — $30,000 to waterproof your basement.

    Signs that your basement needs waterproofing might include persistent water stains, damp or musty odors, visible mold or mildew, white powdery residue on walls (efflorescence), and widening cracks in the walls or floor.
