Basement Waterproofing Solutions That Are Offered in Barrie

We offer comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions. Repairing any structural issues that are causing dampness, and installing waterproof membranes alongside other waterproofing solutions, are all part of our services. We strive to leave your property’s basement dry to provide a solid foundation for your house. Our basement waterproofing services include the following:

EXTERIOR WATERPROOFING

Wet basements occur when water from the surrounding soil seeps through cracks and porous areas of the basement wall. Our exterior basement waterproofing process includes excavating the soil away from the exterior basement wall, installing the proper moisture barrier, filling the area surrounding it with gravel, and constructing a footer draining system. A sump pump is optional. The basement wall may require some prep work, and the moisture barrier may differ; the qualified specialists at Direct Waterproofing will be able to tell you exactly which moisture barrier would work best for your basement.

INTERIOR WATERPROOFING

Interior waterproofing (internal waterproofing) is the best option for a damp or wet basement. It involves repairing the basement leaks from the inside of your property. When your basement is damp and moist, it is essential to have internal waterproofing done to prevent the formation of mould and mildew, which produces undesirable odours and bacteria that are harmful to your health. This is also among the waterproofing methods that might help with the hydrostatic pressure that creates a wet basement. Waterproofing your basement from the inside is usually the best option for most homes because it is less expensive and less intrusive than excavating from the outside.

EMERGENCY WATERPROOFING

Water damage can happen quickly and tends to be unexpected. Nobody can foresee when a pipe may rupture or water damage will occur. Although precautions can be taken, severe water damage can still happen, and if this occurs, you will require immediate assistance. We take damp and leaking emergency basement waterproofing services extremely seriously and provide special attention and prompt action. Direct Waterproofing has a 24-hour emergency line to support you when you need us the most. We take great pleasure in being able to offer emergency waterproofing in Barrie at any time and in any location. There are numerous types of waterproofing emergencies that can occur, and they can all cause significant damage to your home.

BACKWATER VALVE INSTALLATION

When the main sewer system becomes overwhelmed and backed up, a backwater valve prevents sewage from backing up into your basement. When sewage begins to back up from the main sewer line, the valve is designed to close automatically. Simply defined, the backwater valve keeps sewage overflow from entering your property. Backwater valves are also known as sewer backwater valves, mainline backflow preventers, and backflow prevention valves. A backwater valve is an important part of ensuring the safety of your house. We install the backwater valves in locations where water may accumulate near the foundation of your home.

FOUNDATION REPAIR

A foundation issue could have a significant influence on the safety and structural integrity of your Barrie home, which is why you need foundation repair professionals you can rely on. Direct Waterproofing has been offering complete foundation repair, crawl space encapsulation, concrete levelling, and earthquake retrofitting services in Barrie for decades. We understand what it takes to provide your home with the best option for safety and stability. If you have foundation cracks, foundation settlement, bowing walls, or any other foundation problems, call or email us online today for a free quote on any of our services.

BASEMENT LOWERING

Many people ignore basement lowering as a potential option when seeking to extend their house for liveability or to boost its value. Basement lowering, also known as underpinning, is extending the basement foundation downwards and removing the basement concrete floor slab to raise the ceiling height. This is commonly done in basements that are not full height, but it may make any basement less cramped and more habitable. As you might expect, excavating your home's foundation is a tedious job. The current foundation must be carefully removed so that the structural integrity of the home is not jeopardized. This is where our experts at Direct Waterproofing come in.

WEEPING TILE INSTALLATION

To start the installation, our professionals will dig a shallow trench around the home's perimeter. The existing weeping tile and pipe will be removed. To prevent moisture from leaking in, we will seal and reinforce the foundation with new concrete. Before installing the pipe, a layer of gravel is spread down and covered with another layer of gravel. The pipe will be kept in place by a filtering substance while keeping it away from the soil. Finally, we will close the trench and replenish the earth. We repair any concrete damage and tidy up to restore the area to its original condition.

WINDOW WELL INSTALLATION

Window well installation is critical for allowing moisture to drain away from the house and away from the footing. Window Wells must be securely fastened to the wall. If they are not, they will begin to flex away, allowing the earth beneath to leak into the well and ultimately clog your drain. Window wells gather water that drains to the weeping tile system, which can disseminate it to a designated drainage point. This basic system is effective but works best if it is not clogged. We can excavate down to the weeping tile to ensure appropriate drainage and securely tie the well to the wall.

FRENCH DRAINS

Our French drain basement waterproofing does more than just keep rainwater from entering your basement by creating a barrier like a waterproofing sealant. It works by reducing the moisture in the soil surrounding your foundation. Most homeowners picture building a waterproof layer with sealants and waterproofing paint whenever they think about basement waterproofing. While this may help temporarily, it is not a long-term basement waterproofing solution since it doesn't address the underlying cause of the issue: excess water in the ground outside the foundation walls. Basement waterproofing with French drains keeps water from accumulating in the soil. There will be no water in your basement if there is no excess water in the surrounding ground.

SUMP PUMP INSTALLATION

Sump pumps are the most important component of a complete waterproofing and drainage system. Sump pumps must be replaced on a regular basis, unlike drainage sheets, membranes, and perforated pipes, which often last the life of the construction. A sump pump is a water removal pump which is often installed beneath your basement floor or crawlspace in a sump basin. As water accumulates beneath your foundation, it is carried to the sump basin, and the sump pump subsequently pumps this water to a location outside the home to prevent flooding in the basement. Direct Waterproofing is the go-to company for sump pump installations in Barrie.

BATTERY BACKUP PUMP

We also provide battery backup pump installation at an affordable cost. Battery backup sump pumps are designed to work alongside primary pumps by providing several hours of additional water damage protection if your main pump fails because of power outages, mechanical breakdown, or overuse. The battery backup sump pump operates independently of the primary pump. If the primary pump fails for whatever reason, it immediately starts working. It is positioned adjacent to the primary sump pump in the home and uses the same sump pit. Sump pumps with battery backup are an excellent preventative step for homes. Their installation is usually less expensive than adding a second sump pump. Because the battery backup sump pump uses the same sump pit as the primary, no digging is required for installation.

BACKFLOW PREVENTERS

A backflow preventer is a valve that prevents floods caused by the city sewer or storm line rushing up into your property. These city sewers are occasionally overwhelmed by stormwater, which the sewer lines can't handle. Backflow preventers are becoming increasingly crucial in protecting your property as our environment changes. Backflow preventers contain a valve that closes automatically when water returns from the city line and reopens when the city line is clear. If a backflow preventer is installed, the downspouts around the house must be removed because if the valve closes, the water has nowhere to go but into your basement.

DRAIN SNAKING AND CLEANING

Maintaining an efficient plumbing system is critical, particularly in Barrie, where clogged drains can prove to be a considerable nuisance. Direct Waterproofing specializes in drainpipe snaking and cleaning services that maintain your drains flowing effectively and prevent costly repairs and delays. Choose Direct Waterproofing in Barrie for skilled drainpipe snaking and cleaning solutions. Make an appointment with us now to see the impact we can make on your plumbing system.

SEWER DRAIN CLEANING

We believe that frequent sewer system maintenance is critical in preventing serious issues such as blocked drains, root damage, collapsed drains, grease build-up, bellies in pipes, and clogged sewers. All these flaws have the potential to cost you thousands of dollars in unneeded repairs. Direct Waterproofing will be pleased to assist you with routine sewer system maintenance to avoid any of these drain issues from occurring. Annual drainage inspections are a crucial element of maintenance if you want to avoid a sewage backup or flood, which can create a lot of worry and disruption for you and your family. Sewer camera examinations and snaking of the sewer line will help you avoid drainage problems and ensure the longevity of your current sewer system.

PREVENT DAMAGE

Basement waterproofing is a crucial investment that can significantly extend the lifespan of your property. By implementing effective waterproofing measures, you create a robust barrier against water intrusion, preventing potential damage to your basement and foundation. Excessive moisture can seep into your basement, leading to the growth of mould, mildew, and structural decay over time. By proactively waterproofing your basement, you eliminate the risks associated with these issues, ensuring the structural integrity of your property remains intact. A waterproofed basement safeguards against the harmful effects of water, such as foundation cracks, wall deterioration, and the compromising of structural elements. This not only provides peace of mind for homeowners but also increases the overall longevity and value of the property. With a properly waterproofed basement, your property can withstand the test of time, weathering the elements and remaining a safe and secure space for years to come.

PEACE OF MIND

A waterproofed basement can enhance the overall indoor air quality of your home. Dampness and moisture in the basement can create the perfect breeding ground for mould, mildew, and bacteria, which can release harmful spores into the air. These airborne particles can trigger allergies, respiratory issues, and other health problems, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions. By investing in basement waterproofing, you create a healthier living environment for yourself and your family, free from the risks associated with poor air quality.
