Waterproofing Solutions for Your Leaky Basement

Stressed about a leaky basement in your GTA home, cottage or commercial building? It’s important to identify the cause and find a permanent solution before more problems start.

You might think that the pipe leak, ground/wall seepage or condensation issue that caused the leaky basement is a one-time problem. However, the chances of these issues occurring again are higher than you think. Cracks in walls and foundations, and plumbing problems, increase as your home, building or cottage gets older. If your property is located in a low lying or flood-prone area, or built on soft or damp soil, the risk is even greater. Accumulation of excessive rain water and melting snow can also cause a wet basement.

It’s not difficult to see why it’s important to fix the causes of leaks in your basement. Anyone who has experienced a basement flood can tell you about:

• Structural damage
• Risk of personal injury
• Mould related health issues
• Bad odour and rotting
• Insect problems
• Damage to possessions
• Restoration expenses

Solutions for a Leaky Basement

• Check for mould, mildew, rotting wood and insects. They are not only signs of a leaky basement,
  but they could also cause serious health problems.
• Identify and fix the cause of the leak, whether it’s a plumbing problem, condensation, or water seepage from cracks in the basement or foundation wall. Unattended cracks and leaks will
  only get bigger.

• Make sure that your damp basement is properly dried and cleaned out.
• Make sure your home’s drainage systems are not clogged
