FAQ
Answer: Look for cracks, water seepage, uneven floors, or sticking windows and doors, as these can indicate foundation issues.
Answer: Exterior waterproofing is a method of protecting your building’s foundation from water intrusion by creating a barrier on the outside of the structure. It typically involves excavation, application of waterproof membranes, and installation of drainage systems like weeping tiles.
Answer: It prevents water damage to the foundation, which can lead to cracks, mold growth, structural weakening, and costly repairs if left unaddressed.
Answer: Common signs include visible cracks in the foundation, water pooling around your home, damp or wet basement walls, musty odours, and peeling paint or efflorescence (white powder) on walls.
Answer: The duration depends on the size of the property and the extent of the work needed but typically ranges from a few days to a week.
Answer: Yes, when done properly, exterior waterproofing provides long-term protection, especially when combined with regular maintenance and proper drainage systems.
Answer: Interior waterproofing addresses water issues from inside the home, using methods like sealants and drainage systems to manage water after it enters. Exterior waterproofing focuses on stopping water before it enters by creating a barrier on the foundation’s outer walls.
Answer: Costs vary based on factors like the size of the area, the extent of damage, and materials used, but it typically ranges from $5,000 to $15,000 or more.
Answer: While some waterproofing methods, like interior sealants, don’t require excavation, true exterior waterproofing involves digging to access and treat the foundation properly.
Answer: A weeping tile system is a perforated pipe installed at the base of your foundation to collect and direct water away from your home, reducing pressure on the foundation walls.
Answer: Depending on the project, a sump pump may be recommended as part of a comprehensive waterproofing system to handle water collected by weeping tiles and prevent basement flooding.
Answer: Regularly inspect drainage systems, ensure proper grading around your property, and address any visible cracks or leaks promptly. Maintenance of sump pumps and gutters is also important.
Answer: Yes, some disruption is unavoidable as excavation around the foundation is required. However, professionals will aim to minimize damage and restore landscaping after the work is completed.
Answer: Waterproofing is best done during warmer months when the ground is not frozen, as excavation and membrane application are more challenging in cold weather. We still do offer these services through the winter, so it is best to contact us so we may get details on the specific project.
Answer: By preventing water intrusion, exterior waterproofing reduces the conditions that allow mold and mildew to grow.
Answer: Waterproofing is generally considered preventative maintenance and is not covered by insurance unless damage occurs due to a covered peril.
Answer: Proper grading directs water away from your home, reducing the risk of water pooling near the foundation and enhancing the effectiveness of waterproofing.
Answer: It’s recommended to inspect waterproofing systems annually and after significant weather events to ensure they are functioning properly.
Answer: Yes, foundation cracks are typically repaired as part of the waterproofing process to prevent further water intrusion.
Answer: A properly waterproofed home is more appealing to buyers and can maintain or increase your property’s resale value.
