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 Guelph
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
Can I apply waterproofing products to my basement walls myself?
There are some DIY waterproofing products available on the market. However, it is important to note that the effectiveness of these products may vary, and improper application can lead to ineffective results or potential damage. It is recommended to consult with a professional waterproofing contractor who can assess your specific situation and provide expert advice on the most suitable waterproofing solution for your basement.
How often should I inspect my basement for potential water issues?
Regular basement inspections are necessary to detect potential water problems and prevent further damage.
Here’s exactly when you should have your basement inspected:
- Seasonal inspections;
- After heavy rains or storms;
- Spring thaw or snow melt;
- After plumbing maintenance or repairs;
- During routine home maintenance.
By inspecting your basement regularly, you can identify water problems early, preventing further damage and costly repairs. If you notice signs of water intrusion or have concerns about moisture levels, contact a professional waterproofing contractor for a more complete assessment and appropriate solutions.
Will basement waterproofing increase energy efficiency?
Basement waterproofing improves energy efficiency by controlling moisture levels, enhancing insulation, preventing air leakage, and optimizing HVAC system performance. This results in reduced energy consumption, lower utility bills, and positive environmental impacts.
