Common signs that your basement is taking on water include a damp or musty odor, visible mold or mildew growth, water pooling on the floor, peeling paint on walls, and visible cracks in the foundation. If you notice any of these warning signs, it is crucial to schedule a free inspection with Dryshield Basement Waterproofing before the damage worsens.

Exterior waterproofing involves excavating the foundation from the outside to apply a waterproof membrane and replace the weeping tile system. Interior basement waterproofing manages water from the inside by installing an internal drainage channel (such as a French drain) and a sump pump to capture rising groundwater. Our Dryshield Basement Waterproofing experts will assess your home to recommend the best core method.

Yes! Dryshield Basement Waterproofing provides an industry-leading Lifetime Transferable Warranty on our basement waterproofing services. This ensures your basement stays protected for as long as you own your home. If you decide to sell your house, the warranty seamlessly transfers to the new owner.

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.

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. Crawl space encapsulation by Dryshield Basement Waterproofing permanently seals the space from moisture, improving your home’s indoor air quality and protecting the structural foundation.
