When it’s raining again outside, and your basement has a leak, you may notice a trickle or condensation on your walls or windows. Or perhaps you’ve noticed a small puddle on the floor that just won’t go away. While standing water is obvious, the more subtle signs of water intrusion are critical to be aware of.
If this sounds familiar to you, you may be in need of professional interior waterproofing services. If you’re located in the Toronto and GTA area and need immediate attention, get in touch with our team at Royal Work Corp, by calling (416) 837-107.
Interior waterproofing eliminates moisture from the basement through effective water control techniques. Drainage channels are installed to direct water toward a sump pump, which then removes it from the space. Any water entering the basement is efficiently managed using multiple methods and collected in a pit, where the sump pump pumps it outside the house. When exterior waterproofing is not an option, our interior waterproofing method helps reduce moisture, water accumulation, and even potential flooding.
Our experts dig a trench down to the foundation footings and install a bed of washed gravel. The flexible pipe will be wrapped in a filtration fabric "sock" and connected to the sump basin before being laid in the trench all the way around the basement and connected to the basin on the other side.
The use of a basement wall waterproofing membrane will prevent water from entering the basement and causing dampness. To avoid future moisture problems, it is best to install a waterproof membrane on both the floor and the walls.
By diverting water away from the foundation, French drains, a common and highly effective basement waterproofing system, keep basements dry.
Sump pumps are a common feature in basements with groundwater intrusion issues. They can, however, remove flooding from the basement.
For preventing wet basements, interior basement waterproofing systems are thought to be better and more efficient. Your basement can be waterproofed using a system of interior weeping tiles.
From the outside
Due to its greater labor requirements, this method is the most expensive way to waterproof your home. To keep water out, drainage systems must be set up, which requires extensive digging.
Professionals like Royal Work Corp. will install French drains on the exterior, and this procedure may be the best defense against flooding and water damage to your home.
From the inside
Interior waterproofing is less expensive because it is easier to access, has a faster installation process, and requires less labor overall.
Interior waterproofing eliminates the need for extensive digging or removing dirt from the exterior of your home. Our professionals can install sump pumps and other devices to help remove water from crawl spaces and basements.
Prior to basement waterproofing and foundation repair, our experienced sales representatives will provide a written estimate. Before beginning any waterproofing project, our customers should speak with one of our sales representatives and obtain a written estimate.
Polyurethane foams can be used to seal concrete leaks. The crack must be large enough to accommodate foam filling. Polyurethane foam reacts with water, hardening and filling the crack. These foams provide waterproof protection against future leaks.
A liquid-applied membrane is typically used as the primary waterproofing layer for a foundation wall. Two layers of an external waterproofing product are recommended.
We only use the highest quality materials and products on the market at Royal Work. They can be applied up to three meters underground with a brush, a brush/trowel, or an airless spray.
