Clogged eavestroughs or downspouts, and clogged window wells or poorly sealed stairwell doors, also cause flooding and basement leaks. Older homes - where mortar joints around cement blocks have worn down, older pipes are no longer sealed properly, cracks emerge over time in the walls and floors, or the joints where the concrete floor meets the basement walls start to break down - are the highest risk. With climate change comes an increase in precipitation.

Exterior waterproofing is a more extensive, but very effective, method of protecting your home from water seepage, even floods. Exterior waterproofing involves excavation work from the ground’s surface all the way down to the footing level of the home – seven to eight feet. Workers will clean the wall, repair wall cracks by grinding them into a “v” and repairing them with hydraulic cement, apply foundation aqua block, fiber mesh along the walls, then another coat of aqua block. Delta MS drainage membrane is also installed along the walls, and workers will install a new weeping tile to drain the water away from your basement.

Costs for exterior waterproofing starts at around $100 per foot and can go up to $1,000 per foot, again depending on the size and difficulty of the job. The depth of the home’s foundation is a major issue in determining cost. Interior waterproofing isn’t as expensive as waterproofing around the exterior of the home. This option is for homeowners running a tighter budget, or perhaps their home is located too close to neighbouring properties, making major excavation work impossible. Interior waterproofing can also be looked at as another layer of home protection for those who also opted for the exterior route.
