Basement Waterproofing
- Canadian Owned and Operated
Basement waterproofing can give you a peace of mind, knowing that your home is protected against flooding. In the last number of years, homeowners in Mississauga and other nearby cities have experienced heavier rainfalls and more flooding. When water infiltrates your home, it can cause extensive amounts of damage that is often not covered under insurance. Flooding will ruin flooring, drywall, furnishings, and other personal items. The restoration costs can be thousands of dollars.
When your basement floods, you are also at risk of mold growth that can be difficult and costly to irradicate, not to mention, puts you and your family in danger of illness from exposure to mold spores. Prevention is always the best option and with a proper basement waterproofing solution, you can avoid this type of stressful situation.
There are a couple of methods that can be used to waterproof the basement of your home. The most popular method used is exterior waterproofing. This is when the exterior of the foundation walls are excavated and sealants and protective membranes are applied. This prevents water from being able to infiltrate the foundation walls and keeps your basement moisture free!
The other way that basement waterproofing can be done is with interior waterproofing. This is often used when it is not possible to excavate the exterior of the home. This method involves applying sealants to the inside walls, as well as installing drainage systems inside.
Both basement waterproofing methods are often used with a sump pump and backwater valve.
