Basement waterproofing is the process of stopping water from entering a basement by sealing foundation cracks and joints and installing a waterproofing system (interior or exterior) that routes water away from the foundation.
The 3 Core Waterproofing Methods for Toronto Homes:
Exterior Waterproofing: Excavating the foundation to apply a waterproof membrane and replace the weeping tile system.
Interior Water Management: Installing an internal drainage channel (French drain) and sump pump to capture rising groundwater.
Crack Injection: Sealing foundation cracks caused by thermal expansion, or movement of the foundation while settling.
Foundation crack repair is the fastest, most cost-effective way to stop a leaking basement in Toronto. Dryshield specializes in polyurethane and epoxy crack injection for poured concrete foundations — a permanent fix that takes 1-2 hours per crack, doesn’t require excavation, and comes with a lifetime transferable warranty. From century-old Cabbagetown row houses to brand-new builds in Don Mills, we’ve sealed cracks in every Toronto neighbourhood.
Flexible, hydrophilic resin that expands on contact with moisture to seal active leaks. Best for cracks with ongoing water seepage. Cures in 24 hours.
High-strength resin that bonds the concrete back to full original strength. Best for dry, dormant (non-active) cracks where long-term seal strength matters.
Most Toronto foundation cracks fall into a small set of patterns we see daily:

The right fix depends on the type of crack. For poured concrete cracks in modern subdivisions, we use high-pressure polyurethane or epoxy crack injections to seal the leak permanently. For horizontal cracks caused by heavy soil pressure, exterior waterproofing may be urgently required. Dryshield Basement Waterproofing specializes in diagnosing and treating all types of foundation cracks across the GTA.
A sump pump is designed to help drain water away from your home’s foundation. Water collects in a sump pump basin (or pit), and the pump automatically discharges it out to a French drain or above grade, safely away from your building. Sump pump installation is often a vital component of a comprehensive interior basement waterproofing system.

Ignoring a leaky basement or foundation water seepage can lead to severe consequences. It creates a breeding ground for mold and bacteria, which poses serious health hazards and reduces indoor air quality. Over time, perpetual moisture can cause wood rot, attract insects and rodents, and severely compromise your home’s structural integrity.

Our service areas include Hamilton, Mississauga, Scarborough, Barrie, Oshawa, Whitby, Kitchener, Markham, Oakville, Newmarket, and even cottage country areas like Muskoka and Collingwood.
Vertical cracks, common in settling poured concrete walls, are typically fixed using a polyurethane crack injection. Horizontal cracks are often found in block foundations and are caused by heavy inward soil pressure; these usually require urgent exterior waterproofing and structural stabilization. Step-cracks in brick homes may require full foundation waterproofing.
Our process begins with a free, comprehensive inspection to identify the root cause of the water seepage. Next, we create a customized waterproofing plan and provide a clear, transparent quote in writing. Our trained professionals then complete the work using top-quality materials, followed by a thorough clean-up and the issuance of our Lifetime Transferable Warranty.
If your home has a crawl space, it is one of the most common areas for health hazards to develop. Water seepage here causes perpetually wet floors, rotting wood, and mold.
