How much does the average Basement Waterproofing Project cost?

Quick answer: you’d be typically looking at $80-$400 per linear foot (see table below for residential). Yes, this is a pretty large range difference, however there are many aspects that can affect your cost. One must first distinguish between external basement waterproofing jobs from internal waterproofing solutions…due to the differences in process and therefore price. Soil condition end depths are very important factors that may keep costs high.

I live in or Near Oshawa, Ontario, What are the likely causes for my Basement Flooding?

Obviously, the most common time for your basement flooding is during or after heavy rain storms or snow melt. The easiest way to find out why you have a leaky or flooded basement is to take advantage of our free basement waterproofing inspection. We use infrared technology to spot problems that are invisible to the naked eye. Call us at 905-238-6800 to schedule for free.

Here are the most common causes of your basement flooding…

A leak in your home’s foundation, basement walls or basement windows or doors. Even small cracks can cause leaks, so it’s best to address them as soon as possible. They only get larger. Read more about foundation crack repair here.
Improper grading (the angle of the ground next to your home) will result in excessive accumulation of surface waters during the rains. When this happens too close to basement walls, gravity forces the water into your basement.
Failure of your home’s weeping system (foundation drains). The weeping tile allows water that seeps into the ground around your house an opportunity to be guided away from the building and discharged elsewhere. Most modern homes have weeping tile pipe installed inside under the concrete slab as well as outside, allowing a drainage for water that still got inside through or under foundation walls. Older homes in GTA do not have inside weeping tile systems, they are more likely to have a water problem. Read more about repairing your weeping tile system here.
A blocked connection between your home and the main sewer in the street. According to the Durham Region Website, “Homeowners are responsible for repairing damage or breaks to the sanitary sewer service connections if it is damaged within one metre (three feet) from the house foundation or within the house.”
A backup of wastewater in the sewer system, or a combination of wastewater and rainwater from the sanitary sewer system will cause major problems that need urgent repair due to health concerns for you and your family as well as for others nearby. You should call Draincom right away for sewer drain repair if you suspect you have a problem. 905-238-6800
Failure of a sump pump is also an issue that should be addressed right away. Your sump pump is one of the most important elements of basement flood prevention. Read more about installing and maintaining your sump pump here.
Overloaded sewers, which force wastewater back through the sewer pipes where it escapes through floor drains or any other low lying plumbing fixtures in your basement. Read more about backwater valve installation here.

There are other causes of basement flooding that aren’t listed here and some can only be detected by a thorough basement waterproofing inspection by professionals. Draincom has been waterproofing basements in Oshawa for more than 20 years, offer a free inspection and a 25 year transferrable warranty. Call today and schedule your free inspection. 905-238-6800.

Draincom Will Help You With Interior and Exterior Basement Waterproofing in Oshawa

Exterior Basement Waterproofing

The exterior basement waterproofing method needs excavation and exposing of the foundation wall. We clean and inspect the outside of the wall for any cracks. Once excavated, we seal the walls with waterproofing membrane and weeping tiles or new drainage is positioned on the side of the footing. The final step is that we check the weeping tile connection to the drain or sump to ensure it is working perfectly. We also provide trenchless pipe repair and replacement.

Interior Basement Waterproofing

The interior basement waterproofing process is for those who do not want to disfigure the outside appearance of their house. It ensures that landscaping is not harmed in any way. In this method drip moldings and wall vapor/barriers/retarders are installed to collect water seeping from wall cracks and other wall defects of the foundation. The water is directed to a drain which directs itself to a sump pump and finally the sump pump helps the water to flow out of the basement.
