Talk to one of our waterproofing contractors about the best course of action for your home, to make sure your basement is protected against water intrusion. The technicians from Canada Waterproofers Burlington will assess the situation by looking at the severity of the water leak, as well as identifying its source. The interior system re-directs water away from your basement’s interior utilizing a combination of weeping tile, sump pump and backwater valve. Check out the video on this page to get the inside scoop on how the process works.
You might decide after speaking to one of our waterproofing contractors that the interior option works in part because you don’t want to disturb the exterior aesthetic of your home. It is less expensive to go with the interior option, so this might be a better way to manage small leaks. In the end, it’s all about keeping water out of your basement.
You can always go back to the exterior option – getting at the problem at its source – at a later date, but at least in the short term your basement is dry.
