Toronto’s Best Exterior & Interior Waterproofing
WATERPROOFING BASEMENTS SINCE 1995
Poor drainage can lead to serious foundation problems and attract unwanted pests. Figuring out how to install drainage pipes reliably and efficiently is something many homeowners face at some point. If you live in an area with a high water table, or if your home is prone to flooding, then installing a drainage pipe is essential.
Here at Direct Waterproofing, we have over 25 years of experience in basement waterproofing Toronto as well as installing drainage systems, so you can rest assured that your home is in good hands.
One of the main ways a drainage pipe contributes to your basement waterproofing is by directing water away from your foundation, preventing hydrostatic pressure from building up and causing cracks.
A properly installed drainage system also keeps your basement dry and free of mold and mildew. Additionally, a basement drain pipe can improve air quality by venting any radon gas that may be present. Fortunately, several different types of drainage pipe systems can be installed based on your specific needs.
First, we remove the concrete around the basement perimeter to access the footing for the drainage pipe. We cover furniture to minimize dust. After clearing the area, we clean it with a power washer and cut a trench about 6 inches deep and 12 inches wide for the pipe installation.
Next, we install the drainage pipe, sloping it toward the sump pit for optimal water flow. We usually use a French drain, consisting of a perforated pipe surrounded by gravel to facilitate drainage and stabilize the soil. The sump pit, also lined with gravel, collects the water.
We then restore the floor by filling the trench with gravel for pipe support and pouring concrete with a waterproofing agent. Once the concrete sets, we replace the flooring, recommending waterproof options like luxury vinyl tile or engineered hardwood for durability and style. Our expertise ensures top-quality results.
After installation, some cleanup is inevitable due to dust and debris from any construction project. Direct Waterproofing handles the entire cleanup process for you, ensuring your basement is left clean and tidy. We go above and beyond to ensure our customers are satisfied with our work.
