Burlington Basement Waterproofing and Leak Repair
Near the lake and along creek valleys, ground stays wet and pushes water to the footing. Older streets may have clay weepers that are clogged or broken. Newer blocks can settle and trap water at the wall. We start with a camera and moisture check. Then we install the right repair. Exterior membrane with dimple board and a new footing drain. Or an interior drain to a sealed sump with optional battery backup. We also do epoxy or urethane crack injection and backwater valves for heavy rain.
Early signs in Burlington include white salt on walls, a damp line where the floor meets the wall after storms, window wells that hold water, soft trim at the base, or a pump that runs for hours.

How We Waterproof Burlington Basements
Inspect then plan then install exterior or interior then photo proof then warranty
Locate & Excavate
Footing Drainage (Weeping Tile)
New perforated weeping tile is set at the footing, wrapped in filter fabric and gravel, and tied to a safe discharge or sump—relieving hydrostatic pressure that forces water through weak points.
We identify where water is entering, then safely excavate along the affected wall down to the footing, keeping the trench neat and protected. Toronto’s freeze-thaw and clay-rich soils can drive leaks, so exposing the problem area lets us treat it properly.
Waterproof the Wall
The foundation is cleaned and primed, then coated with a rubberized waterproofing membrane and covered with dimple drainage board to direct water away from the wall
Backfill, Grade & Verify
We backfill in layers, restore grading away from the house, then perform a function/flow check and review photos with you. Where needed, we recommend a sump pump for extra protection and leave you with our 5-Year Workmanship Warranty.
How we choose the right waterproofing in Burlington
Every house and lot is different. We look at soil, grading, side yard access, and where water shows up. If we can work outside, we use exterior waterproofing with a rubber membrane, dimple board, and new weeping tile so water never reaches the wall. If digging is not practical, we install an interior drain channel that sends water to a sealed sump pump. For a small leak at a crack, we use epoxy or urethane injection. If window wells are part of the issue, we add a drain and clean gravel. We show photos, explain the options, and give a clear plan for your Burlington home.
Basement Leak Issues We See Around Burlington
Damp walls or musty smells – Early indicators of hidden moisture. Catching this early prevents bigger damage.
Water at the floor–wall seam after rain – Classic sign of hydrostatic pressure or poor drainage pushing water at the footing.
Visible cracks in foundation walls or floors – Water follows cracks; freeze–thaw cycles can widen them over time.
Window-well overflow – Below-grade windows leak when the well has no drain or clogged gravel—fix with a well drain to the weeper + cover.
Sump pump runs nonstop or fails - Needs diagnostics, check-valve verification, and often battery backup to ride out power outages.
Pooling water near the foundation - Downspouts, grading, or hardscaping pushing water toward the house—common in urban lots.
Efflorescence (white salts) & peeling paint - Surface clues that water is wicking through masonry.
Mould growth in damp corners - Moisture problem that needs source control, not just cleaning.
Simple steps that prevent basement leaks in Burlington
Keep gutters clean, fix loose downspouts, and use extensions so water ends at least two meters from the wall. Make sure soil slopes away from the house. This lowers pressure at the footing and protects the weeping tile.
Check window wells. Each well needs clean gravel and a working drain. If water sits in the well after rain, we add a drain tied to the weeper or sump and install a cover.
Test your sump pump. Lift the float to make sure it starts and drains. Add a check valve if water falls back. Consider a battery backup so the pump works during outages. These small steps reduce the risk and cost of leaky basement repair in Burlington.
