Basement Waterproofing

Basement waterproofing is a service that most homeowners and building managers will typically need at some point in time. The hydrostatic pressure, associated with the water table, creates a situation where there is continuous water pressure on all underground foundation walls and underground structures in general, such as underground parking garages. If there are gaps in the underground walls, in the form of concrete cracks, mortar joint cracking, conduit holes, etc., the hydrostatic pressure will likely cause water to penetrate the foundation or structure, resulting in a wet basement or a wall surface exhibiting efflorescence, mould, mildew and/or mineral deposits and soil stains.

Their is a surprisingly large body of science associated with basement waterproofing; for example, soil types and their drainage characteristics, average annual precipitation, construction practices, concrete properties and forming techniques, waterproofing technologies, and drain laying principles. All of these factors must be considered when planning wet basement waterproofing, as there are many sources of basement leaks. For this reason, the selection of a basement waterproofing contractor can be a onerous process for many. Our company wide acknowledgement of the complexity associated with waterproofing basement walls, as well as our commitment to the complementary need for extensive personnel training are two reasons why AquaGuard Injection & Waterproofing™ has become a leading basement waterproofing contractor in Ontario.
