Exterior Foundation Waterproofing in Etobicoke

Our approach is to waterproof the basement foundation of your Etobicoke home from the positive side with a protective drainage board.

Exterior foundation waterproofing in Etobicoke is the preferred method of waterproofing a basement foundation, preventing water from entering the basement from the exterior. The effected area of walls are excavated from the exterior, cleaned and prepared for waterproofing material.

Over top of the membrane is a water drainage and protection board is applied, Bakor WP 2000 These Bakor basement waterproofing products are the very best on the market and come with a manufacturer's warranty.

Weeping tiles are either a clay tile or plastic pipe that extends around the base of the foundation footing to collect any water that accumulates. The weeping tile is connected to either a sewer or a sump pit, today all new Etobicoke homes have sump pits and pumps. After installing the waterproofing and protection board, the weeping tile are inspected and checked to ensure they are functioning. If the weeping tiles are not functioning, a high water pressure contractor is called in to flush out the weeping tile around the Etobicoke home.

Interior Foundation Wall Waterproofing Schematic

Interior Foundation Waterproofing in Etobicoke

The closed interior waterproofing system is a state of the art method for controlling water from the interior with no excavation on your Etobicoke home. Without a proper seal, moisture will leech back into your basement providing no solution to your problem. The completely sealed system protects against groundwater minimizing moisture and the entry of harmful gases into the basement. The system draws water from both outside walls and the basement center, where the water is then directed into the drainage trench. In addition, the complete seal reduces the presence of bugs and rodents. Should it be necessary the system is completely accessible to ensure years of efficiency.

Cochren Foundation & Repair offers the Number 1 Interior Basement Water Control System. - This system is the only closed system offered. By closed we mean that the water never enters into the home.
