Water in Your GTA Basement?




Local experts in London, Ontario. No pressure. No obligation.
Living in the Greater Toronto Area means your basement faces specific challenges that many other regions don't experience:
🌧️ Heavy Spring Thaws & Rainfall
GTA homes experience intense water pressure during spring melts and summer storms. Lake Ontario's proximity creates high humidity that accelerates basement moisture problems.
🏗️ Clay Soil Throughout the GTA
Toronto, Mississauga, Markham, and surrounding areas sit on dense clay soil that doesn't drain well. This soil expands when wet, creating hydrostatic pressure that forces water through foundation walls and floor joints.
🏠 Aging Home Foundations
Many GTA homes were built in the 1950s-1980s with foundation waterproofing methods that have long since failed. If your home is over 20 years old, the original waterproofing is likely compromised.
📉 Property Value at Risk
A wet basement can reduce your home's value by 10-15%. In the competitive GTA real estate market, this could mean $50,000-$150,000+ lost when you sell
⚠️ Don't Wait Until It's Too Late
Small leaks become major floods. Minor dampness leads to toxic mold. Foundation cracks worsen over time. The longer you wait, the more expensive the repair.
We don't just treat symptoms—we eliminate the source of your water problems with proven solutions designed specifically for GTA soil conditions and climate.
Interior Drainage Systems
Custom-designed perimeter drain systems that collect water before it floods your basement and direct it to a sump pump for removal.
Exterior Waterproofing
Complete excavation and waterproofing membrane application to stop water at the source—before it ever reaches your foundation.
Backwater Valve Installation
Protect your basement from sewer backups during heavy GTA rainstorms. Often eligible for municipal rebates.
Sump Pump Systems
Professional-grade sump pumps with battery backup systems to keep your basement dry even during power outages.
Foundation Crack Repair
Polyurethane and epoxy injection repairs that permanently seal cracks and prevent future water infiltration.

"After years of dealing with a damp basement every spring, we finally called for a proper solution. The team installed an interior drainage system and sump pump. It's been two years and our basement has stayed completely dry—even through those crazy May storms. Worth every penny."
- Sarah M., Mississauga


"We noticed cracks in our foundation and water seeping in during heavy rain. They came out the same day, explained everything clearly, and gave us a fair quote. The repair was done professionally and the warranty gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone in Markham dealing with basement issues."
- David & Linda K., Markham


"Our 1970s home in North York had ongoing moisture problems that were starting to smell musty. They identified the source, waterproofed the exterior walls, and now it's like having a brand new basement. We're actually finishing it now to add a rental unit."
- Michael T., North York, Toronto
