Exterior 
waterproofing price

Exterior waterproofing involves 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 price of exterior waterproofing in Ontario may vary according to the depth of the trench, ease of access to the foundation, and extent of damage. The baseline price is $120 per linear foot.

Interior waterproofing price

It is important to note that interior waterproofing is done from inside the house and using waterproofing materials such as a membrane, epoxy injections, sealants, or a drain connected to a sump pump to prevent flooding in the basement. As a result, this approach is generally the most cost-effective. It works well when it is not practical to access the exterior of the foundation to install waterproofing materials.

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

    We experienced severe water and sewage backups and needed a completely new basement.

All of this and they were in and out in just 6 days!

    Edgar was great to deal with. Digging down my basement was a huge job and a lot for me to take on with 2 kids. If there were any issues during the process he made sure it was taken care of. If I had any questions he would explain the process to me which I really appreciated.

Factors Affecting Basement
Waterproofing Cost

  • Waterproofing method

    As mentioned, exterior waterproofing tends to be more expensive than interior waterproofing. However, cost should not be your sole deciding factor when it comes to choosing between interior and exterior approaches. If you aim for a long-term solution, it is better to combine both methods. Consider each method’s benefits and practicality before deciding which approach to use.

  • Waterproofing materials
    Materials also influence cost. Materials will depend on whether you need exterior or interior solutions or 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.
  • Existing Damage
    The extent of existing damage, leaks, and cracks significantly affects the cost of basement waterproofing. When a basement has suffered substantial damage, waterproofing becomes more complex and labor-intensive. Addressing severe water damage often requires extensive repairs. Comprehensive solutions are essential to prevent further deterioration and avoid future expenses. Investing in thorough repairs and waterproofing now can save homeowners from more significant structural issues and higher costs in the future.
  • 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.
  • 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 separate from the base linear foot basement waterproofing cost. For Toronto homeowners, there is also a particular subsidy program in place. For more details, you can check our sump pump services.
  • Location
    The location of your home is a key factor in determining the cost of basement waterproofing. Several location-specific factors can influence the ease of installation and the overall expenses: Accessibility: The ease of accessing your basement can impact labor costs. Proximity to Utilities: Nearby utilities, such as gas lines, water pipes, and electrical wiring, can complicate the waterproofing process. Geological Conditions: Areas with high water tables, clay-rich soils, or unstable ground may require specialized techniques and materials.
  • Fixing Cracks & Crack/
Foundation Reinforcement
    As a first step, we will have to determine if there are any leaks and what might be causing them. Some solutions, such as epoxy injections, are more straightforward and budget-friendly. Foundation reinforcement, on the other hand, is a much more extensive process, and the cost would reflect that.
  • Labour & installation
    Some installation methods are more labor-intensive than others. For instance, an exterior waterproofing basement will cost more than an interior waterproofing basement because fixing the leaky foundation issues from the outside requires more time and labor as it involves soil excavation.
  • Emergency Waterproofing Services in Toronto

    When water threatens your home, trust our emergency waterproofing services in Toronto. We provide quick, reliable solutions to prevent flooding and property damage.

Average Basement Waterproofing Cost Range

When planning basement waterproofing, it’s essential to consider the overall project’s cost. The starting prices for interior and exterior waterproofing are $75 and $120 per linear foot, respectively. However, homeowners should anticipate a broader cost range for a comprehensive project.

A complete waterproofing project might cost between $5,000 to $15,000 and more, depending on the basement size, chosen method, and any additional repairs required. This range helps homeowners budget more effectively by considering the full scope of potential expenses.

For example, the cost to waterproof a 1000 square foot basement in Toronto would fall between $5000-$10000 for interior waterproofing and usually over $10000 for exterior waterproofing. However, the final basement waterproofing cost may vary depending on the required scope, additional repairs and other factors.

How Much is to Waterproof a Basement in Ontario?

When estimating the cost of waterproofing a basement in Ontario, it’s essential to consider both the waterproofing method and the basement size. Since exterior approach at Waterproofing PD starts at $120 per linear foot and interior approach begins at $75 per linear foot, let’s calculate an example cost based on the average basement size.

Example Calculation:

The overall average floor area of a basement in Ontario is about 825 square feet. Assuming a rectangular basement, the perimeter can be estimated using the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle:

Perimeter = 2 x (Length + Width)

Assuming a roughly square shape (for simplicity, let’s approximate that both length and width are the square root of the area):

Length = Width ≈ √825 sq. feet ≈ 28.7 feet

Therefore, the perimeter is:

Perimeter = 2 x (28.7 + 28.7) ≈ 115 linear foot

Using this perimeter we can get the following results:

For Exterior Waterproofing CostFor Interior Waterproofing Cost
For 115 linear feet at $120 per linear foot:
115 linear feet × $120 = $13,800
For 115 linear feet at $75 per linear foot:
115 linear feet × $75 = $8,625

More Waterproofing Cost Examples:

Smaller BasementsLarger Basements
For a smaller basement, such as one in Brantford (around 700 square feet):
• Estimated perimeter: 105 linear feet
• Exterior Approach: 105 × $120 = $12,600
• Interior Approach: 105 × $75 = $7,875
For a larger basement, such as one in Vaughan (around 1,200 square feet):
• Estimated perimeter: 138 linear feet
• Exterior Approach: 138 × $120 = $16,560
• Interior Approach: 138 × $75 = $10,350

These estimates provide a general idea of the costs associated with waterproofing an average-sized basement in Ontario. The final cost can vary depending on additional factors such as the condition of the foundation, accessibility, and your home’s specific requirements. It’s always best to get multiple quotes from waterproofing contractors to get a precise estimate tailored to your specific situation.
