Basement waterproofing types

Exterior basement waterproofing cost

Exterior basement waterproofing is done by excavating the building or house to the foundation wall’s full depth. Excavation is vital because it clears the foundation of any soil or debris. Next, the foundation is waterproofed from the outside by installing waterproof membranes. The membrane is then topped by a drainage panel that lets the water flow to an exterior drain at the base of the foundation.

The cost of exterior basement waterproofing may vary according to the depth of the trench, ease of access to the foundation, and extend of damage. The baseline cost is $120 per linear foot.

Interior basement waterproofing cost

Interior basement waterproofing is done from the inside of a house and involves the use of waterproofing materials such as a membrane, epoxy injections and sealants, or a drain connected to a sump pump to prevent any flooding in the basement. Interior waterproofing is generally most cost-effective and works well in situations where it is not practical to access the exterior of the foundation in order to install waterproofing materials.

The cost of interior basement waterproofing starts at $75 per linear foot and will vary depending on materials and methods needed. The best interior waterproofing option is to use a waterproof membrane together with a drain and sump pump system that will move water out of the home entirely.

Factors that determine the cost of basement waterproofing in Toronto

Waterproofing method

As mentioned, exterior waterproofing tends to be more expensive compared to interior waterproofing. However, cost should not be your sole deciding factor when it comes to choosing between interior or exterior waterproofing. If you are aiming for a long-term solution, it is better to go for exterior basement waterproofing. Sealants and waterproof paints may not work as well as extensive exterior waterproofing. Consider the benefits and practicality of each method before settling on which to use.

Foundation depth

The depth of your foundation will impact the overall cost of whichever waterproofing method you settle on. Deeper foundations require more labor and materials. Most foundations are somewhere between 5 and 8 feet deep.

Fixing Cracks & Crack/Foundation Reinforcement

Before the basement is waterproofed, we will have to determine if there are any leaks and what might be causing them. Some solutions, such as epoxy injections, are simpler and more budget friendly. Foundation reinforcement, on the other hand, is a much more extensive process and the cost would reflect that.

Waterproofing materials

The materials to be used also influence cost. Materials will depend on whether you need exterior or interior basement waterproofing solutions or just a foundation crack repair. After we inspect your foundation, we will explain all your options and work with you and your budget to ensure you are well taken care of.

Installation of additional accessories

Accessories such as sump pumps and backwater valves are sometimes required to help drain water away from your house. These are not included in the basic linear foot basement waterproofing cost in Toronto.

Labour & installation

Some installation methods are more labor-intensive than others. For instance, exterior basement waterproofing will cost more than interior basement waterproofing simply because it requires more time and labor to fix the leaky foundation issues.

    We've done our research and sourced numerous companies to cut and install egress windows in our basement. We could've had anyone do the job to be honest. But when it came to safety and our investment, we wanted the job to be done PROPERLY,... PROFESSIONALLY, LEGALLY, and to BUILDING CODE. That's where Vlad (from Waterproofing PD) comes in.Vlad and his team came out and delivered. From consultation to end of job - exceptional service!Even though the work took a little longer than it did due to the extremely HEAVY rainfall for the past few days, I was worried that water was coming into the basement (the rain wouldn't stop). The team had just put the foam around the windows, and there was still work to be done. But when I went to check in the basement, it was COMPLETELY DRY. I was impressed. Vlad and his team got an "A+++" just for that. I knew we had the right team.On the final day of work, the windows and wells look beautiful. The wells are not the typical galvanized wells. These are 6x6 timber which are beautiful to look at once inside the basement and out. Everything complemented each other.Thank you Vlad and team for your professionalism, neatness, and responsiveness to our requirements and concerns. We appreciate it.Denaread more
