Professional Basement, Foundation & Crawlspace Waterproofing Contractors in Orillia, ON

No, the injectable technology that we use to repair cracks from the inside works extremely well in most situations and allows us to repair a crack that is currently leaking. Under certain circumstances we will recommend repairing the crack from the outside, but this is usually due to access issues within the home or if the foundation has suffered accelerated deterioration due to ongoing moisture leakage. Ultimately the decision will be dependant on which technique the customer is more comfortable with.

Initially, we conduct a physical inspection to locate the source of the water in a finished basement. With our level of experience, we can almost always locate the source without removing any drywall. Please note, once drywall gets wet, mold will be produced very quickly and needs to be taken seriously. A general rule of thumb is that if the drywall is wet, it must be replaced.

Two basic products are used for injection repair. One is an epoxy (i.e. glue), which is used in structural applications. The second is a polyurethane or flexible resin as it is sometimes referred to. When the main concern is water leakage and not structural, polyurethane is a superior solution.

Foundation waterproofing is work that is completed from the outside. It seals water and moisture away from the foundation using a double membrane (unlike a French Drain, which is a water management system).

Many factors are involved when quoting these jobs. An onsite inspection by a member of our team is absolutely required and a detailed estimate will be provided.
