Regardless of the severe weather conditions, Toronto Waterproofers’s exclusive basement waterproofing method offers unparalleled defence against moisture and water. Our team of licensed and insured specialists, with 50 years of experience, use cutting-edge waterproofing techniques and materials. Opting for external basement waterproofing offers numerous advantages and is a highly effective technique for preventing water leakage into your home. Not only does it prevent moisture infiltration, which effectively prevents the growth of mould, but it also enhances the overall energy efficiency of your home. By implementing a complete approach, your house will be safeguarded from the foundation to the roof, allowing you to reside in a moisture-free, hygienic, and energy-efficient setting.
Basements are prone to leakage, especially during periods of severe rainfall, due to several issues including heightened hydrostatic pressure caused by saturated soil, inadequate drainage systems, cracks in the foundation, and obstructed gutters that fail to efficiently redirect rainwater. Furthermore, insufficient or deteriorated waterproofing might result in the infiltration of water into the basement. At Toronto Waterproofers, we address these difficulties by implementing the utmost level of industrial-grade protection to guarantee that basements in Toronto stay free of moisture and leaks. Our extensive waterproofing solutions encompass the improvement of drainage systems, the repair and sealing of foundation fractures, and the utilization of modern materials to establish a resilient barrier against water infiltration.
The accumulation of water around the walls of the home infiltrates downward and ultimately generates hydrostatic pressure. A building's foundations deteriorate over time and give in to the hydrostatic pressure of water, which causes moisture to seep into the home. Our waterproofing materials and application procedures, designed for industrial use, are guaranteed to withstand high levels of pressure, ensuring that your basements remain dry. Toronto Waterproofers's exterior waterproofing solutions are both robust and adaptable, making them highly regarded in the market for all waterproofing needs.
Our outside waterproofing solution ensures complete moisture protection for all basements. The multi-stage industrial grain waterproofing technique effectively prevents water infiltration by intercepting it at its origin and diverting it towards the nearest sewer line. The basement walls are coated with a rubberized compound that is specifically designed for waterproofing purposes, resembling tar. Furthermore, there is an additional layer of yellow jacket and membrane for added protection. We typically require city approvals and specific sites for this service, and we handle these matters entirely on behalf of our clients.
Exterior waterproofing creates a strong and impenetrable barrier against water infiltration from the surrounding environment. This protective technique strengthens the house's foundation by successfully managing the collection of water and moisture, preventing mould growth. It accomplishes this by directing water away from the foundation walls with weeping tiles. All products and materials used are of industrial grade quality and are designed to withstand the harsh weather conditions common in Canada. We provide periodic maintenance and checks for system efficiency for all our customers.
When waterproofing a foundation's exterior, Toronto Waterproofers Toronto offers a transferable lifetime warranty that is valid for 25 years. Our award-winning waterproofers provide unparalleled service quality. We can handle everything, from a tiny foundation crack to a major water leak that creates a basement flood. If you have a wet or damp basement, please contact our customer service department, and we will come to your location, examine the condition, and provide complimentary proposals for practical remedies.

Occasionally, in certain circumstances, it may be necessary to apply a layer of hydraulic cement to the entire wall in order to improve moisture resistance and prolong structural integrity. Hydraulic cement rapidly solidifies and effectively inhibits any potential corrosion or deterioration of the foundation wall. It not only acts as a waterproof barrier but also enhances the structural integrity of the wall. The cementitious waterproof coating additionally aids in an even distribution of stress throughout the surface of the wall and also improves thermal stability, which results in improved energy efficiency. This coating also repels chemicals and salts that cause corrosion on the basement walls. Toronto Waterproofers provides the highest-quality hydraulic cement, specially engineered for Canadian weather. Our quality of products and service stands out as the best in Toronto.

Aqua-Bloc is a waterproof coating made of various components that improve its capacity to resist water and increase its endurance. In order to prevent cracking, we incorporate polymers into the coating to provide flexibility, allowing it to expand and compress. Bitumen enhances the adhesive characteristics, guaranteeing robust adherence to diverse surfaces such as concrete and masonry. Solvents are used to keep the coating in a liquid state so that it can easily penetrate into narrow gaps before it hardens. We incorporate fibres to augment durability and structural integrity. In addition, the mixture has chemicals that make it easier to shape, block UV rays to keep it from breaking down in the sun, and antifungal agents to stop mould and mildew from growing. Collectively, these elements provide a highly efficient and long-lasting, impermeable shield against water.

To increase the application's stability and protection, we apply a yellow jacket or other appropriate waterproofing product on top of the rubberized tar coating. It strengthens the application, preventing future punctures or ruptures. The yellow jacket improves the waterproofing application's adhesion to the exterior wall by firmly adhering to the aqua-bloc coating. It enables the membrane to withstand deterioration over time due to physical wear, environmental conditions, and repetitive movements. Yellow jacket fabric bonds deeply with the adhesive and provides moisture resistance from the outside, making membrane application easier and increasing the effectiveness of water and moisture control. Yellow Jacket applicants are an essential part of any waterproofing service.
