Underpinning and Waterproofing Company Toronto FAQ

Can small cracks in the foundation cause major basement leaks?2024-11-04T10:56:57-05:00

Yes, even small cracks can allow water to seep into your basement, leading to bigger issues over time. Sealing these cracks early with a proper basement and waterproofing method can prevent water infiltration, mold, and structural damage. Foundation crack repair is a key part of the waterproofing basement process to ensure long-lasting protection for your home.

What’s the difference between interior and exterior basement waterproofing?2024-11-04T10:57:20-05:00

Interior waterproofing manages water that has already entered your basement, typically using sump pumps and drains. Exterior waterproofing prevents water from ever reaching your foundation by sealing cracks and applying protective barriers, such as membranes and weeping tiles. Both methods are effective, but combining them offers the best protection for your home. If you’re searching for “basement waterproofing near me”, consider both solutions for comprehensive coverage.

What is the cost of waterproofing a basement?2024-11-04T10:57:25-05:00

The waterproofing basement cost can vary depending on the size of your basement, the extent of existing damage, and the systems installed. Factors like the installation of sump pumps, drainage systems, or a basement waterproofing membrane influence pricing. However, the cost of waterproofing is an investment that saves you from future repairs caused by water damage or structural problems, making it cost-effective in the long run.

How does interior basement waterproofing work?2024-11-04T10:57:39-05:00

Interior basement waterproofing typically involves installing drainage systems, like sump pumps and French drains, to direct water away from your foundation. These systems manage any water that enters through cracks or weak spots. By controlling water inside, you avoid costly repairs down the road. A basement waterproofing membrane is often installed to ensure no moisture seeps through. This proactive approach stops problems before they start, ensuring your basement stays dry even during heavy rain.

What is basement waterproofing, and why is it important?2024-11-04T10:57:47-05:00

Basement waterproofing involves using materials and systems to prevent water from seeping into your basement. It’s crucial because a dry basement protects your property from water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. Waterproofing your basement not only preserves your foundation but also maintains the value of your home. Whether you’re dealing with occasional leaks or want to prevent future damage, waterproofing basement solutions are essential for long-term protection.

Why do basements leak?2024-11-04T10:54:33-05:00

Foundations leak for various reasons, such as; a congested weeping tile system, where the weeping tile can no longer flow due to a blockage of debris, soils or tree roots. Horizontal or vertical cracks in the foundation, or separation of blocks, voids where the foundation and footing meet, allow water to enter into the basement.

Many foundations were never waterproofed properly during the construction process, particularly older buildings.

Can I do waterproofing and underpinning at the same time?2024-03-18T14:29:51-04:00

Often, it makes sense to do both at the same time, especially if digging is already needed for underpinning. This can be more efficient and might even save money in the long run. City Wide Group can look at what your home needs and suggest doing both together if it’s the best option.

How much disruption does underpinning cause?2024-03-18T14:29:37-04:00

Underpinning can be a bit more disruptive than waterproofing because it might involve digging around your home’s foundation. But, professionals work to keep the disruption as low as possible. The process is well-planned and communicated, and many homeowners find the benefits outweigh the temporary hassle.

  • New weeping tiles are installed to divert water from the foundation, surrounded by clean ¾” gravel to ensure proper drainage.

  • The dug-out soil is then replaced and compacted firmly to avoid any future ground movement.

  • After the work is finished, we thoroughly clean the site of any construction debris.
