Water is one of your home’s biggest enemies. A basement flood can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your property and possessions. Leaks in your basement can lead to mold, mildew, fungus, and other toxins that can cause major health problems and weaken the structure of your home. In order to protect your home from all these hazards, you need to make sure you take advantage of the many interior waterproofing options that are available.

Aquatech Waterproofing provides comprehensive interior waterproofing services for all types of homes and buildings. Regardless of the age of your home, we can provide the necessary solutions that will keep water out of your home for good.

One of the most important aspects of interior waterproofing is sealing off any cracks or holes that are letting water into your home. Most foundations are made of concrete, which is a very porous surface. It’s important to make sure that the water that gets into the concrete is drained away from your home and not inside. The experts at Aquatech know exactly how to seal off all the holes, cracks, and other problem areas that might let water into your home.

Having a sump pump in your basement is a great way to keep water out of your home. However, your basement will only stay dry as long as your sump pump is working. That’s why Aquatech Waterproofing recommends installing a battery backup pump in your home.

When your sump pump loses power, the water that collects in your sump pit has nowhere to go except into your basement. While a sump pit is designed to collect a lot of water, it can fill up very fast during a heavy rainfall. If you don’t have a backup battery, this water could end up flooding your basement and causing a lot of damage to your property and possessions.

A battery backup can be a lifesaver. There are many instances where your home might not be able to supply the power your sump pump needs. Since heavy rainfalls are often accompanied by thunder and lightning, a power outage is often a big risk. Even a short power outage can be enough for your sump pit to overflow.

Improving the drainage system around your home is an important step in protecting your property from costly water damage. A French Drain is one type of drainage system that might be particularly effective for your home. The experts at Aquatech Waterproofing can evaluate your property and determine if a French Drain is the answer to your Toronto waterproofing needs. We can also install your French Drain so that the water stays out of your home and doesn’t cause flooding or unnecessary erosion in your yard.

The key concept behind a French Drain is that it will redirect water away from your home. French Drains are effective for correcting problems with both surface water and groundwater. If you notice your yard flooding after a heavy rain, then a French Drain might be the answer to your problems. Another sign that you might benefit from a French Drain is if you notice water pooling against your home at any time.
