Waterproofing Basement Walls - Prevents Moisture Build-up and Structural Damage

Waterproofing basement walls will protect the structural integrity of your home and cottage. Cracks and leaks encourage water seepage and moisture build up. This may damage not only the wooden finishing but also the foundation support.

Damp walls also encourage mould to grow. This can cause respiratory and other serious health issues. Because it is difficult to get rid of, recurring mould negatively impacts the value of your property. Take the necessary basement waterproofing precautions to keep your property and its occupants safe.

What Does Waterproofing Basement Walls Involve?

  • Checking foundation supports: We always like to start at the root cause of the problem and that’s usually the foundation of your property. Waterproofing basement walls without fixing cracks and reinforcement issues leaves a greater chance of the problem reoccurring. We use The Reinforcer and FlexiSpan® Wall Crack Repair System to effectively deal with bowing walls and cracks.
  • Sump pump installation: Homes in low lying and flood prone areas must install a sump pump in addition to waterproofing basement walls. Our high pressure sump pumps include SuperSump, TripleSafe System and UltraSump
  • Putting in a moisture-resistant basement wall system: Our 3-in-1 Thermal Dry Wall System or BrightWall® Panelling System prevent water vapour from permeating basement walls. Both systems provide an effective moisture barrier; which one you choose depends on your specific requirements.
  • Fitting window ducts: Water and moisture that collects on basement windows can ultimately leak onto the wall. Over time, this may compromise the initial steps you have taken to waterproof basement walls. WellDuct, our basement window well drains will safely channel the water to your sump pump.

Clarke Basement Systems’ basement flooring, wall and window systems will ensure that your space is always dry, and free of mould and mildew.
