Everybody wants a dry, safe, healthy home. But our changing climate isn’t a situation that is going to reverse itself suddenly. The home’s foundation walls and basement floor are under constant water pressure (hydrostatic pressure, as the soil becomes more saturated). This situation worsens with heavier rains and more rapid snowmelts, on top of the fact that city sewer and drainage infrastructures are ageing and are less reliable.
So perhaps you find water in the basement or water stains on the walls. Probably there is a musty smell, or the onset of mould, in the basement area.
Inaction is not a solution – it will only get worse. Water will always find its way through – concrete is a porous material. It will absorb water. It will erode over time. A particularly vulnerable area is where the concrete floor meets the wall, or through the mortar between concrete blocks.
Of course, you can do it yourself. YouTube has plenty of DIY waterproofing videos, and you can apply a sealant to cracks, but that’s more like a finger-in-a-dam solution.
The most proactive, effective way of tackling the problem is an Exterior Waterproofing solution.
It’s a major excavation project. There is a lot of soil to be placed up on the ground. It requires expertise both in the products being installed and the process of installation itself. For example, without the gravel on top of the new perforated weeping tile/pipe, and soil below it, the system won’t work. The holes in the pipe need to be pointed the right way (down). A fabric barrier and gravel in the system helps keep dirt from clogging holes in the pipe. There are many different steps involved.
If done properly, this is the best way to protect the basement of a home from water seepage, or worse, a flood. It tackles the problem at its source.
But it’s complicated and labour-intensive, and needs to be done the right away. Get it wrong and water will still leak in. It will be challenging to go back for a do-over. It’s probably best to leave a job like this in the hands of professionals – so it’s done correctly the first time.

I had a foundation leak, and the job was done by Canada Waterproofers. I was fortunate to connect with Andrii, the project manager. He is very knowledgeable, prompt, and easy to communicate with—he even answered my calls after working hours.I had my entire house waterproofed. Andrii explained everything in detail, and the price was very reasonable. His crew, especially the foreman Andrew and his team, did an amazing job. The work was extremely clean and professional, and I am 100% satisfied with both their knowledge and workmanship.I highly recommend Canada Waterproofers to anyone who needs waterproofing for their home.

Waterproofing an Exterior Wall Step by Step – Exterior Basement Waterproofing Toronto
Protect work areas with tarps
Excavate at the located area down to the footing level of the home (which holds up the walls of the home), and expose the footing and wall ready for waterproofing application
Clean the wall, repair cracks by grinding them out into a “v” and repair with hydraulic cement, applying a parging mix (meant to coat a water-resistant barrier)
Apply foundation aqua bloc
Apply fibre mesh (yellow jacket) for reinforcement and then another coat of aqua block and polyurethane (four-millimetres thick) for additional protection
Install Delta MS drainage membrane (made of long-lasting polyurethane and recyclable materials, another added feature which keeps your basement dryer) with delta clips, finishing the moulding along the top with tapcon screws
Remove old weeping tile and install new “Big O” weeper with filter and connect to the existing weeping tile pipe
Encase weeper (which sits on the soil) with ¾” clear gravel (one foot of gravel above the weeper), and then install a filter on top to separate gravel from soils
Backfill and compact the ground every two feet until backfilled
Install gravel finish, clean work areas and remove access debris from the site, re-planting the garden around the home if necessary
Important point – before any excavation is started, hydro and gas companies, as well as Bell or Rogers, will need to be contacted, to ensure workers are not cutting or digging into pipes or lines
Install new window wells with drainage pipe if required
You also might want to install a sump pump (there should be a three-year manufacturer’s warranty on all mechanical pumps)
