Basement Waterproofing Woodbine Heights, Toronto

Common basement problems in Woodbine Heights

Homes in Woodbine Heights are mostly early-to-mid 1900s builds with poured concrete or block foundations. The original weeping tile at the footing is typically clay, and after 70 or 80 years it has usually cracked or filled with silt. When that happens, water builds up against the footing and comes in at the floor/wall joint — often after a heavy rain.

For many Woodbine Heights homes, an interior perimeter drainage system is the practical fix. We install a drain inside the footing, a wall membrane to direct seepage down into it, and a sump pump to lift the water outside — all without excavating the yard. For a single leaking crack in a poured wall, injection from the inside seals it without any digging at all.

Because Woodbine Heights is on Toronto's combined sewer system, sewer backup during storms is a real concern. A backwater valve on the main line protects your basement from the city side, and it is eligible for the Toronto basement flooding subsidy.

If your Woodbine Heights basement is damp, musty, or wet after a storm, a free inspection will tell you exactly where the water is coming in and what it takes to stop it.
