Basement Waterproofing Markham

Why Waterproof Your Basement

A leaky or wet basement is a sign of poor or lack of basement waterproofing and foundation cracks. Continued water seepage can result in a flooded basement, mold growth and musty odours. Water penetration also degrades your foundation footings and can compromise structural integrity.

Investing in Waterproofing

If you wish to invest in a finished basement, then interior or exterior waterproofing is another investment that adds monetary value but also protection from future flood damage costs. Both new and old houses are eligible for basement waterproofing. New constructions usually have not been waterproofed, unless you specifically requested it. They might feature a finished basement which is an even more important reason for protecting your drywall and flooring from flood damage. Old houses do not have a basement waterproofing system installed and most of them have a crawlspace and not a full height basement. Investing in underpinning will provide structural strength and useable space. Investing in exterior or interior waterproofing will provide access to repair foundation cracks and protect your foundation walls and footings from future water penetration.
