Basement Waterproofing Riverdale, Toronto
Riverdale's large Victorian and Edwardian homes are beautiful, but their foundations have been holding back groundwater for over a century. Basement waterproofing in Riverdale usually means dealing with old weeping tile, cracked walls, and basements that were never meant to be finished.

Common basement problems in Riverdale
Riverdale is one of Toronto's oldest residential neighborhoods, and most homes here have foundations that are 100 years old or more. Poured concrete, brick, and stone walls all show up, often with little or no original waterproofing on the outside. After a century, any coating that was applied has long since failed, and the original clay weeping tile at the footing is almost always clogged or broken.
Because many Riverdale homes are detached with decent side access, exterior waterproofing is often a strong option. Excavating to the footing lets us replace the failed weeping tile and apply a modern waterproof membrane to the wall in the same job — fixing the cause rather than just managing the water.
A lot of Riverdale basements were originally cellars with low ceilings. If you want to turn yours into a real living space, basement underpinning (lowering the floor) paired with an interior drainage system and sump pump gives you ceiling height and a dry floor at the same time.
Whether your Riverdale basement is damp, cracked, or just too low to use, a free inspection will lay out your options clearly. Book one and we will come take a look.
Services we provide in Riverdale
Exterior Waterproofing
Excavation around the foundation, a waterproof membrane on the walls, and new weeping tile at the footing stop water at the outside.
Interior Waterproofing
An interior perimeter drainage system collects water that seeps through foundation walls and routes it to a sump pump.
Foundation Crack Repair
Injection repair seals cracks in poured concrete walls from the inside, stopping active leaks without excavation.
Basement Underpinning & Lowering
Underpinning lowers a basement floor to add ceiling height, paired with waterproofing so the deeper floor stays dry.
