With a lifetime warranty, you can protect your home from the inside.
Interior waterproofing is a way of protecting a property from water and moisture using water management systems. Yes, we will need to expose the affected area and perform repairs to essentially waterproof the wall. However, condensation is something you cannot avoid on earth, so a water management system is required to ensure 100% protection from water buildup and mold. Waterproofing a home from the inside is a more affordable method of protection that can last 20 to 30 years without any problems.
Interior waterproofing involves the effective management of water and moisture. The water intrusion typically originates from various sections of the foundation wall, since water tends to infiltrate through the easiest and most accessible pathways into the basement. Whether caused by hydrostatic pressure resulting from water accumulation or foundation cracks, the flow of water into the basement requires addressing specific sections of the wall to prevent water seepage. This includes performing a thorough cleaning of the area, repairing any cracks and damages on the wall using the cemetitious waterproofing method, and adding hard water repellents such as AquaBloc on top of it. It is important to note that internal waterproofing solutions do not prevent water from infiltrating the exterior of the building. Consequently, despite the application of internal waterproofing, water still infiltrates the wall from the exterior and becomes trapped at the outermost layer of the wall. We apply an extra membrane layer on top of the coating to direct water towards the weeping tile.
At the source, we believe you should stop water from leaking into the basement. Therefore, we recommend exterior waterproofing, but in certain cases, this may not be feasible. So, waterproofing from inside is the only option. Therefore, cost and electronic water control are the main advantages of interior waterproofing over exterior waterproofing, as exterior solutions are often more efficient.
Interior basement waterproofing never requires digging or excavating. This makes it cost-effective and leads to faster completion times. Excavation requires more manpower, and additional products, materials, and equipment may be required depending on the unique situation of the house basement.

It is impossible to calculate the cost of waterproofing based on the house’s size. It consists of many factors. So when you’re looking for the cost of interior waterproofing or a basement waterproofing calculator, please keep in mind that this is an approximate cost that any calculator can give you. Anyone who tells you that a small basement is equal to a certain amount is simply unethical. We calculate the cost of waterproofing a basement from the inside in Toronto, Canada, in dollars per linear foot.
So what will it cost you?
To accurately estimate the cost, determine the number of linear feet that require waterproofing. Interior waterproofing does not require digging, so the approximate costs can be very close to the external option. We start interior waterproofing at $80 per linear foot, and any additional options, such as weeping tiles, window wells, sump pumps, or even backwater vavles, can be an additional cost. We must assess the requirements to completely stop water and obtain a warranty for the initiated work before providing a precise quote. We do the assessment and quote for free.
Let’s do some calculations for 10 feet of interior waterproofing. We would charge $800 for waterproofing the wall, which includes damage and crack repair, sealant application, membrane application to direct water to the weeping tile, and full sealing of the area. Now, the question is here. Are you sure it’s going to be $800? No! Depending on your unique situation, you may need a sump pump system, a backwater valve, or other add-ons to ensure the work is 100% warranted. This applies to any reputed waterproofing company, if they are legit. When it comes to waterproofing your house, cutting corners with cheap waterproofers may be a dangerous idea.
A house that has been completely waterproofed generally increases in value because of its enhanced durability.

Our Assessment Process
This selection takes into account crucial elements, such as the extent of water exposure and the intended purpose of the basement, to ensure that the waterproofing solution is both effective and long-lasting. After choosing the approach, we begin the process of clearing the basement space. Every piece of furniture, appliance, and personal object is meticulously relocated to a secure area in order to ensure unobstructed and safe passage for our crew. This precautionary measure prevents any potential harm and facilitates a smooth and productive production. In addition, we implement strong ventilation systems to guarantee a secure working environment, which is especially vital when using chemical sealants.
More on Stratagies
Before beginning interior basement waterproofing, a comprehensive process is undertaken to ensure the foundation and walls are fully prepared. The procedure commences with the exposure of the wall, when any pre-existing panelling, drywall, or obstacles are removed to uncover the raw surfaces. Prior coatings and cements are thoroughly eliminated to enable optimal adhesion of fresh waterproofing solutions. Thorough examination ensues, during which leaks are identified and potential mould growth is examined. If required, sections of the flooring are extracted in order to rectify water infiltration problems originating from beneath. Mould that is found is treated with fungicidal chemicals.
Our Preperation Process
Careful attention is given to each and every defect or crack that is discovered once the wall in question is exposed during the waterproofing of the basement. For the aim of waterproofing, we utilize a special type of cement. Because of its capacity to endure high pressures and dramatic temperature swings, as well as its quick hardening capabilities, this cement type is ideal for use in basements, where circumstances can vary greatly. his fixing method is more involved than just filling in cracks or fixing small cracks. We prioritize the wall's structural integrity in our approach, which entails a rigorous assessment and repair method. A strong and long-lasting bond is achieved by carefully reparing, cleaning each crack.

A dimpled membrane, such as the Delta Membrane, is an important part of the basement waterproofing process. It is often used as one of the final phases to improve water management and structural protection. Its distinctive dimpled form creates an air space between the membrane and the basement wall, allowing any entering water to flow easily downward into a designated drainage system, such as the footing or weeping tile. This system not only allows for proper water management, but it also reduces hydrostatic pressure against the walls, significantly lowering the chance of structural damage and leaks. Additionally, by minimizing direct moisture contact with the basement walls, the Delta Membrane extends the life of both the waterproofing coatings and the basement's structural elements. It is also a required step for eligibility for a lifetime warranty in many service agreements, including those provided by Toronto Waterproofers, emphasizing its critical role.
