Professional Basement Waterproofing Services in Toronto

Interior Waterproofing Icon

Interior Waterproofing

If you have water damage in your basement, the chances are that you need interior waterproofing to rectify the situation and prevent future problems. Interior waterproofing contractors will remove the water that has seeped into your basements and complete the necessary repairs to avoid repeated damage. NTL Contracting offers professional interior waterproofing ​to help get you out of hot water.

How Interior Waterproofing Works:

There are two interior waterproofing methods that are commonly used to remove water from your basement. One common method is to seal your wall with vapor barriers made of plastic or foil to block out any further moisture.

Another interior waterproofing method is to reroute your water away from the foundation through interior drainage systems. This way, the excess water in your basement is diverted into a sump pit. This is a basin under your foundation that stores your sump pump — a water pump that pumps collected water out and away from your home.

Grading Icon

Grading

NTL Contracting provides grading services in Toronto to ensure that water flows away from your property and into proper storm drain systems.

How Grading Works:

The unfortunate reality is that, when your property’s ground slopes towards your home, water from storms and irrigation can run back toward your foundation and seep into your basement, causing moisture problems at its walls.

This can lead to problems like wall cracks, structural damage, and soil erosion. Grading helps prevent this problem altogether as it ensures that the ground’s highest point is at your foundation. With grading, you can rest easy knowing that any groundwater will always flow down this slope and away from your foundation.

Crack Injection Icon

Crack Injection

In addition to waterproofing, NTL Contracting offers crack injection services to fill any cracks in your basement’s wall that may have occurred from water damage.

How Crack Injection Works:

When water seeps into your home’s foundation and, subsequently, your basement, it can cause cracks in your wall. You can fix some basement cracks with a polyurethane foam that expands into foundation cracks and seals the wall from further water penetration.​​

The Risks of a Wet Basement

Leaks and cracks in your basement walls can allow water to get into your foundation and damage your property. A wet basement, whether caused by flooding or dampness from moisture, can have detrimental effects on your health and your property’s structural integrity.

When you are looking for Toronto waterproofing companies, consider the risks associated with a wet basement. When you are faced with a damp basement or want to take preventative measures to avoid such situations, you will want to work with NTL Contracting. Our Toronto basement waterproofing contractors are experienced with waterproofing and will provide you with the solution you need to ensure your basement is protected.

The risks associated with a wet basement includes:

Leaks & Cracks Icon

Leaks & Cracks: When your basement is wet, your walls and floors are more susceptible to leaks and cracks that can let in water during heavy rain and other weather conditions. This can cause long term and costly water damage and compromise the structural integrity of your home’s foundation.

Unpleasant Odours Icon

Unpleasant Odours: When wet clothes sit, the dampness creates a mildew smell. Similarly, when a basement is moist, the moisture causes a mildew odour that can overpower your basement and, in extreme cases, the rest of your home.

Bacteria & Health Implications Icon

Bacteria & Health Implications: A wet basement is a breeding ground for bacteria like mold and mildew. This build up of bacteria can have detrimental effects on the health of those living on a property as it can cause respiratory problems, trigger allergies, and more.

Structural Damage Icon

Structural Damage: If your basement is damp, the moisture can cause your home’s foundation to rot and, as a result, compromise its structural integrity.

Rodents & Insects Icon

Rodents & Insects: Moisture attracts unwanted visitors like various rodents and insects — waterproof your basement to prevent these pests from trying to make your basement their home.

Allergens Icon

Allergens: In addition to breeding bacteria, a damp basement can also increase the allergens in your home like dust mites. This can have detrimental health effects on individuals in your household who have asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Condensation Icon

Condensation: Moisture in your basement can cause condensation to build on your furniture and any other belongings stored in your basement. Condensation causes water to form that can damage your valuables and result in some long-term costs.

Basement Waterproofing Frequently Asked Questions

If water is seeping into your basement, your best solution is interior waterproofing. We provide interior basement waterproofing services to protect your basement from further water damage and repair any current damage.

Waterproofing is the process of sealing areas of possible water entry and reinforcing drainage to prevent moisture and water from penetrating a structure. There are various waterproofing methods you can use to protect your basement, and our waterproofing contractors have experience with all of these strategies. We will work with you to determine the best waterproofing method for your basement.

When you hire us for basement waterproofing, our concrete experts will put a seal on your basement’s concrete to prevent any water from getting into your home through the floor or walls. Additionally, if your home has a drain, we reinforce the drain to prevent any outdoor water from getting in.

Basement waterproofing will help you repair any current water damage in your basement and prevent water from seeping into your foundation in the future.

There are various ways that water can get into your basement, which is why it’s important for homeowners to waterproof their foundation to prevent a wet basement. Water can get into your basement through leaks and cracks caused by:

  • Flash freezes
  • Heat expansion and contraction
  • Hydrostatic pressure
  • Excess groundwater from heavy rain or other extreme weather conditions flowing into your home’s foundation

Basement waterproofing can benefit your home, health, and your wallet. Common benefits include:

  • Increased home value
  • Protection against water damage & leaks
  • Flood prevention
  • Reduced chances of costly moisture problems
  • Reduced health risks associated with moisture (e.g. poor indoor air quality, mould)

The most common basement waterproofing methods are interior and exterior waterproofing. Another waterproofing method, however, is drainage reinforcement. This is when your underground drains are cleaned out to ensure proper water diversion.

The best waterproofing method for your basement depends on your unique needs and expectations. If you are doing maintenance on your home and looking to protect your foundation from future water damage, exterior waterproofing will be your best solution.

That said, if you are already dealing with water damage and looking to rectify the situation and prevent further problems, interior waterproofing will be a better solution.

Various materials can be used for waterproofing, including:

  • Polyurethane
  • Cementitious Coating
  • EPDM Rubber
  • Rubberized Asphalt
  • Thermoplastic
  • Bituminous Membrane
  • PVC Waterproofing Membrane
  • Silicone Sealant
  • Crystalline Sealants
  • Elastomeric Coating

The best membrane for a waterproofing project will depend on the homeowner’s preferred aesthetics, budget, and timeline expectations.

While liquid membrane will be the best option for a homeowner looking for a speedy solution, sodium bentonite will be the best membrane for an environmentally-conscious property owner. Homeowners looking to maintain appearances will benefit most from a sheet membrane.

Crack injections and waterproofing primers are not permanent, but their results can be long-lasting. The longevity of your exterior waterproofing project will depend on your chosen contractor’s materials and methods used.

Generally speaking, exterior waterproofing can last about ten years. When you work with experienced waterproofing companies in Toronto like NTL Contracting for your project, your exterior waterproofing solution will last that much longer.

The cost of basement waterproofing in Toronto depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your basement, any necessary additional repairs, and your desired timeline.

There is no one-size-fits-all basement waterproofing solution, which is why we provide free personalized quotes. Request a quote for your waterproofing project today, and we will get back to you shortly.
