frequently asked questions

Waterproofing is a process designed to stop water penetrating your basement, even under wet conditions after heavy rainstorms or spring thaws. Once Aquatech Waterproofing’s trained experts waterproof your basement, you have the confidence to know that you can use your basement like any other room in your home.
Brown stains on concrete or block walls are usually a sign of acid damage. This typically signals that the soil around your home is clay, which is very acidic. As water travels through your concrete walls, it draws the acidity with it. This acid filters through the concrete walls and allows water to enter your basement. The brown stains are difficult to remove, leading to the deterioration of the lower basement wall.

It’s usually not easy to indicate the source of water entering a home through the basement or foundation; special diagnostic tools are often required. Aquatech Waterproofing’s technicians are specially trained in the use of such equipment. Once the problem is diagnosed, they will suggest what options are available and to solve your satisfaction.

Determining water seepage location is essential to choosing the appropriate solution or the necessary structural repairs to achieve the foundation’s waterproofing. Moisture seeps through the walls, floor or floor/wall joint, or over the wall’s top. Marking the source while the seepage is active will ensure proper identification by the professional foundation waterproofing contractor.

There are many waterproofing levels, and pricing depends on the type of problems that you are having. When obtaining estimates for waterproofing, consideration should be given to how complicated your situation is.

Whether you require interior or exterior waterproofing, there are several factors into a waterproofing cost, such as:

  • Will excavation be required?
  • What access will be available to the site?
  • Type of materials needed like drain tile, membrane, sump pump, etc.
  • Any concrete or landscape needs

Exterior waterproofing methods are your best defence against water infiltration. Downspouts and gutters collect and direct water away from your home. Simultaneously, a waterproof membrane will seal out moisture and protect the concrete from cracking and leaking. The exterior waterproofing package, used in conjunction with a French drain system, will keep your basement dry and free of waterproofing issues.

Interior waterproofing is made up of drains and pipes that reroute water to the sump pump and safely outside. Waterproof paints and crack sealing products may help eliminate moisture and humidity from your home. Interior waterproofing systems can reduce the risk of flooding, cost less than exterior waterproofing systems, but may eventually break down without an external system in place.

Before hiring a basement waterproofing company, you should search around to find out who can do the best job for you. When you talk to waterproofing companies, find out what kind of written guarantee they are willing to give you after waterproofing your property.

In a time when waterproofing contractors can operate out of a truck, a waterproofing warranty ensuring your home will be adequately waterproofed is critical. Unfortunately, you’ll find that most waterproofing contractors cannot make such a guarantee.

Aquatech Waterproofing offers a 25-year waterproofing warranty. We’re so confident in our superior external basement waterproofing system that we are willing to guarantee our work for a quarter-century! While many contractors promise to do the work for less or in the least amount of time, the truth is that this is not usually the case.

Customers often call us when a job is not done correctly. The hired company could not keep their promise; the completed job would be fast and cheap. Unfortunately, it will cost the homeowner more money and more time in most cases in the long run.

Terry was very informative during the initial assessment and his crew did fantastic work for a fair price.
The team ensured that everything was correctly sealed and effectively repaired the leak. Even with the intense downpour, my basement is now totally dry. The fact that they cleaned and organised everything afterwards is the finest part. I heartily suggest them for any leaky basement problems!

I don’t typically write reviews but I’ve had a few experiences with Direct Waterproofing now and wanted to call Terry and his crew out for their great work. They are efficient, clean, and Terry is very communicative and responsive.

DW completed the exterior and partial interior waterproofing on our semi and they were very respectful of the space in always keeping it tidy and clean. And it was nice to have people show up when they say they would and finish on time. Shortly after, we had an issue with dampness in our basement and Terry came out immediately to check on the issue (turned out it wasn’t related to the waterproofing). So when it came time to filling the cement in, I didn’t hesitate reaching back out to Terry versus looking for a different company to do the work. They were able to fit the job in shortly after I reached out and they’ll be coming by again to help reroute my sump pump line. All in all, I wish all other contractors were as responsive and easy to work with as Terry.
I had a water leakage issue in the basement after every rain for the last 2 years, but never found the root cause. This time I contacted Direct Waterproofing. Terry came in and checked and provided in depth plan on how to fix the foundation crack issue from outside. He was continuously in touch with me all these days and made me feel confident with the choice of solution seeing the cost involved (C$2000). And today, TERRY and his 2 very hard working team mates, JOHN and THOMAS, came in and dig the whole soil almost 7-8 feet, did all the treatment and re-filled everything in just 8 hours. I was there watching the whole process, and I can say I felt very satisfied with the hard work they put into this project. The price was worth it, but most importantly I got peace of mind now. I would highly recommend Terry and his team for any waterproofing work. They are very genuine and will not try to sell you unnecessary services. And they also give 25 years warranty.

Terry from Direct waterproofing is one of the best professionals I've met. And I don't say it lightly. We needed a sump pump and backup battery pump + discharge pipe.
Terry took the time to brainstorm ideas on where the discharge pipe should go so we don't cycle back the water into our sump pit.

Before installation he took out a lot of garbage that was in the sump pit. He took out plant roots that had grown from underground.

Terry not only installed both pumps and a discharge pipe but came twice and made sure we got everything needed to receive the city rebate.

After each work was done he took the time to clean the debris as well. This is what I call a true professional. You can tell pretty quickly that Terry really cares about the customer. Would highly recommend. 5 stars!

So happy to be able to write another 5 star review for Direct Waterproofing! The team had done some some work for me a couple of years ago (basement inside waterproofing and installing a sump pump - which has been working fabulously!) and while they were here, they applied some concrete parging around my home to seal the area between the foundation and the bottom of the home. Due to weather it had cracked a bit and when I called Terry to see if they could come back and seal it again he was more than willing to help! Although this is a very busy season for them, Terry himself came and did the job. He was so pleasant and thorough and now everything is sealed up before the winter. And … he did it free of charge! I’m very impressed with Terry and his team. Would highly recommend! Thanks!

I had searched for a waterproofing company for the last few months and many were extremely busy and unaffordable. I contacted Terry who was patient, very relaxed and informative on what he would do. His team of two, (Sergey and Roman) came and worked effectively and efficiently at digging my foundation and properly sealing all defects located in it. Days prior to the beginning of the project, I asked Terry if his team could dig an additional side of the house, and his response was yes. They also walked me through the addition of a sum pump and installed it with little mess. Throughout the process they updated me with photos and answered all my questions. They offer flexibility in payment, affordability and their work comes warrantied. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs to have their foundation repaired.
