Basement Waterproofing The Beaches, Toronto

Common basement problems in The Beaches

Homes in The Beaches are largely early-1900s builds with poured concrete or brick foundations. Mature trees line every street, and their roots are a leading cause of weeping tile failure in the neighborhood — they find the moisture at the footing and grow right into the old clay pipe, cracking and clogging it. When the tile stops draining, water pools at the footing and seeps in at the floor/wall joint.

Because many Beaches homes are detached with side yards, exterior waterproofing is often a practical option here. Excavating to the footing lets us replace the failed weeping tile and apply a proper waterproof membrane to the wall in the same job — which stops the water at the source instead of managing it after the fact.

For attached homes or finished basements where excavation is not realistic, an interior drainage system with a sump pump does the job. And single leaking cracks in poured concrete can almost always be injected from the inside.
