Exterior Basement Waterproofing

Water damage in your basement can be extremely costly to repair. Over time, it can compromise your home’s structural integrity by damaging your foundation and compromising interior structural elements. Whereas interior basement waterproofing can be very effective, waterproofing the exterior of your foundation takes it one step further, diverting water before it has a chance to get into your house.

Our Exterior Basement Waterproofing Process

To create waterproof exterior basement walls, we will need to remove the soil from around your foundation’s exterior. This can look dramatic, but it’s necessary for a thorough job. Here is what you can expect:

5

Final waterproofing check and backfilling.

Why Exterior Basement Waterproofing is Important

Exterior basement waterproofing stops water before it even reaches your foundation. Although interior waterproofing seals cracks, prevents moisture build-up inside your home, eliminates mould and mildew build-up and diverts any water build-up that does collect in your basement, it does not eliminate all the potential issues wet soil, rain, and snowmelt can create. With an unprotected exterior foundation, water can still seep into cracks and produce leaks.

Exterior basement waterproofing seals your foundation against water and moisture and prevents hydrostatic pressure build-up, which reduces the risk of cracks and leaks.

Waterproof Membrane Application

AtlasCare’s skilled technicians will repair existing cracks in your foundation by injecting them with a waterproof sealant. Then, they will apply high-quality sealants and a waterproof membrane to separate your foundation from groundwater and moisture. 

Weeping Tile Repair and Installation

Our crews will examine your existing weeping tile to determine if it needs to be replaced. If so, the new weeping tile will be installed to redirect groundwater away from your foundation, reducing the hydrostatic pressure that can result in cracking and seepage.

Drainage Improvements

Wet soil around your foundation can be caused by drainage issues. AtlasCare’s expert plumbers and landscapers will re-grade the areas around your house and update your exterior drainage to prevent water from pooling next to your foundation.

Never question your foundation’s integrity again! Call AtlasCare  for the waterproof basement that gives you the peace of mind you deserve.

FAQs About Exterior Basement Waterproofing

What Are the Signs That My Home Needs Exterior 
Basement Waterproofing?

If your basement needs waterproofing, you might notice these signs:

  • Damp basement walls or musty odours.
  • Water stains or efflorescence (white residue on concrete walls).
  • Mould or mildew build-up in your basement.
  • Visible cracks in the foundation.
  • Water pooling around your home’s foundation, especially when you don’t see the same thing around other houses in your neighbourhood.

What Is the Difference Between Interior and Exterior Basement Waterproofing?

Interior and exterior basement waterproofing have the same goal but use different methods and products.

  • Interior waterproofing deals with water accumulation and moisture after it enters the home.
  • Exterior waterproofing diverts water before it reaches the foundation and reduces hydrostatic pressure, so it doesn’t present a problem.
  • Exterior solutions last longer, but they require excavation around your foundation, which makes them more disruptive.

How Long Does Exterior Waterproofing Last?

With high-quality professional installation and top-of-the-line materials, you can have waterproof exterior basement walls for 25+ years.
