Oakville Basement Waterproofing and Leak Repair
Lots near the lake and along Sixteen Mile Creek and Bronte Creek can push water toward the footing. Older homes may still have clay weepers. Newer subdivisions 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 storm events.
Early signs in Oakville include white salt on walls, a damp line where the floor meets the wall, window wells that hold water, soft trim at the base, or a pump that runs for hours.

How We Waterproof Oakville 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.
What Is Basement Waterproofing
Waterproofing keeps groundwater from crossing your foundation. In Oakville, clay soil and lake storms raise pressure at the footing during rain and thaw. We use two main methods. Exterior waterproofing adds a rubber membrane, dimple board, and new weeping tile to move water away before it reaches the wall. Interior waterproofing collects water inside with a perimeter drain and sends it to a sealed sump pump. This helps when side yards are tight or patios should stay in place. For single leaks we use crack injection with epoxy or urethane. Every job includes photo proof and a 5 Year Workmanship Warranty.
Basement Leak Issues We See Around Oakville
When to Call the Experts
After roof and gutter changes
If new eaves or downspouts dump too close to the wall, water can reach the footing fast. Watch for a wet line at the floor joint or peeling paint near corners. We extend downspouts, adjust grading, and check the drain path.
Walkout and cold room leaks
Walkout doors and cold rooms under porches can leak at slab edges. Signs include damp corners, musty air, or rust at posts. We seal joints, add drainage, and tie window well and porch drains into the weeper or sump.
Sump discharge and winter issues
If the discharge line freezes or ends on the lawn beside the wall, water can circle back in. We reroute the line, add a check valve, and can install a battery backup so the system runs during outages.
