Best Basement Waterproofing Solutions
Exterior Basement Waterproofing
Exterior basement waterproofing is the way to protect your foundation from the outside. We expose the basement walls, cover them with multiple extra waterproof material layers, and install a new drainage system.
Willfix experts use the best available materials, such as AquaBloc membrane, to protect your basement from the water’s degrading effects.
Interior Basement Waterproofing
Interior basement waterproofing does not stop water, but channels it away from your foundation walls. The drainage system and the weeping tile are installed inside your basement and sealed with high-quality concrete, so no leaks will ever occur where they shouldn’t.
Depending on your foundation structure, we might need to release the excess water from the hollow walls or install a sump pump. Our experts will offer you the best solution for your case.
Foundation Repair
Every foundation has its expiration date. Most of them tend to leak every 10-15 years because of Toronto’s climate and rainfalls. Willfix’s team of professionals can help you identify the issue and eliminate any problems with the foundation’s structure: from foundation crack repair to the toughest cases.
Foundation repair is vital every 10-15 years. Microcracks are barely notable at first sight but may quickly lead to a dangerous increase in humidity and toxic mold growth.
Basement crack repair
Every tiny crack has big potential — and it can grow faster than you expect. In 20 years of experience, the Willfix team has seen all types of basement cracks, from the tiniest to enormous ½ inch slits. We’re ready to offer the best solution to each type of them:
It might be a temporary solution or a sufficient basement crack repair to restore your basement structure's main functions — safely supporting the house and keeping the water out.
Basement Underpinning
Lowering the floor of your basement with no loss in structural soundness and no plumbing or waterproofing issues might be a challenging task, but Willfix experts are ready to commit. Our team has a certified engineer to help you with the drawings, all the tech, and necessary permits.
Basement underpinning requires more specialized tools, machinery, and skilled work than waterproofing, but the final result is probably the best that can happen to your home.
Why You Need Basement Waterproofing in Georgetown
No basement is safe from constant water exposure’s degrading and eroding effects. A wet basement is a full-scale health concern that elevates the risks for you and your family. Interior basement waterproofing is your effective line of defense against multiple enemies:
Insects
A whole spectrum of insects can inhabit your basement if it has excessive moisture and darkness:
- Earwigs (Dermaptera);
- Centipedes (Chilopoda);
- Millipedes (Diplopoda);
Some insects may spread diseases, and we doubt you’ll feel comfortable sharing a house with them.
Mold
Mold is extremely fast-spreading: it may occur in 24-48 hours in the moist area:
- Dark-looking brown mold (Stachybotrys);
- Lighter-looking dry mold (Aspergillus);
- Black mold (Stachybotrys);
There’s nothing good about having mold in your house. The spores easily spread throughout the house and can lead to health issues, like allergies or infections.
Allergies
“Basement allergy” can be both barely notable and extremely uncomfortable for you:
- Running nose, sneezing, coughing;
- Centipedes (Chilopoda);
- Headache, anaphylaxis, troubled breathing;
A wet basement can be both a trigger for someone’s allergic reaction and the reason for allergy development.
We treat every basement like our own — with the utmost care and highest quality as our top priority
Basement underpinning is an effective way to increase your comfort while making your basement uninhabitable for bugs or fungus.

FAQ
Will basement waterproofing in Georgetown eliminate all water issues?
While basement waterproofing is a highly effective method for preventing water infiltration and addressing common causes of water issues, it cannot guarantee the complete elimination of all water problems in every situation.
Basement waterproofing focuses on creating a barrier and implementing drainage systems to divert water away from the foundation and keep the basement dry. However, there can be other factors at play, such as plumbing leaks, poor exterior drainage, or natural groundwater saturation, that may contribute to ongoing water issues.
It is essential to identify and address all potential sources of water intrusion during the waterproofing process. We can assess the specific conditions of your basement, identify potential problem areas, and recommend appropriate solutions.
While basement waterproofing significantly reduces the risk of water infiltration, it is crucial to monitor the basement periodically and address any new issues promptly. Regular maintenance and addressing other potential sources of water entry, such as plumbing or exterior drainage problems, can help ensure the long-term effectiveness of the waterproofing measures.
Overall, while basement waterproofing is a highly beneficial investment that can mitigate and minimize water issues, it is important to have realistic expectations and address any additional factors that may contribute to ongoing water problems in your basement.
How long does basement waterproofing take?
The duration of a basement waterproofing project depends on factors such as:
- The size of the basement;
- Evaluation;
- Preparation;
- Water problems;
- The waterproofing method chosen (interior/exterior);
- Repairing and drying time.
Typically, it can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Consult our professionals for an accurate basement waterproofing schedule.
What are the different methods of basement waterproofing?
There are several different methods of basement waterproofing that can be used to protect your basement from water infiltration. Here are some of the common techniques:
- Internal waterproofing — involves the application of waterproofing coatings or sealants on the interior walls and floors of the basement;
- External waterproofing — includes excavation around the foundation walls and the application of a waterproof membrane or coating on the outer surface;
- French drainage — a trench filled with gravel or perforated pipe, which is installed along the perimeter of the basement;
The most suitable method or combination of methods will depend on the specific issues and characteristics of your basement. It is recommended to consult with WillFix basement waterproofing professionals to assess your needs and determine the best approach for your situation.
