When You Need Exterior Waterproofing

Exterior waterproofing is an effective preventative measure you can take to save yourself from having to deal with a leaky basement.

This procedure offers many advantages including:

  • Prevents Mold Buildup: By keeping water out of your home, you lower the risk of mold buildup and help to keep you and your loved ones safe.
  • Protects Structure of your Home: Exterior waterproofing will help protect your home’s structure from wood rooting. This occurs when water sits at the base of your building and eventually seeps into other parts of your home.
  • Saves Money Down the Road: Water build-up can cause flooding, and this can become quite pricey to fix. By addressing water leaks promptly, you can save a lot of money in the long run.
  • Improves Value of Home: A newly repaired foundation or a newly installed draining system provides comfort to future homebuyers knowing that they are protected from water leaks for years to come.

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing Cost

The average exterior waterproofing cost in Toronto and the GTA is between $70 to $350+ per linear foot.

There are numerous factors that impact basement waterproofing costs such as the scope of work, the depth of the foundation, the extent of the damage, and the materials needed.

Our Exterior Basement Waterproofing Process

Exterior waterproofing is the most effective way of keeping water out of your home. This method requires a step-by-step approach to ensure all aspects go according to plan. Our exterior basement waterproofing process proceeds as follows:

01

Excavate the Soil


We first excavate the soil around the foundation down to the slabs. By excavating the soil, we can identify the root of the problem and immediately address it.

02

Clean the Walls


Our specialists then prepare the walls by removing dirt and dust. Typically, this is done mechanically, and cracks and gaps are filled with hydraulic cement.

03

Install Waterproofing Membranes


Next, we want to create a barrier between the wall and any type of liquid that may encounter it, so we install delta exterior waterproofing membranes.

04

Drainage System Installation


During step number four, we protect your basement insulation by installing a drainage system that directs water away from the foundation walls.

05

Start Backfilling


Here, we will locate soil excavation that caused any voids and fill in the gaps with special material. Afterward, we compact and stabilize the soil to prevent shifting in the future.
