Protect Your Home with Professional Basement Waterproofing 

At Aglow Contracting, we know that a dry, safe basement is essential for your home’s overall health. Our expert basement waterproofing services in the Toronto GTA and surrounding areas are designed to tackle hydrostatic water pressure and prevent moisture from infiltrating your foundation, safeguarding your living space from potential damage.

Basement waterproofing is crucial for:

• Preventing Water Infiltration: We provide solutions that stop water from entering your basement, protecting against mold, structural damage, and decreased property value.
• Customized Solutions: Our experienced professionals conduct a thorough assessment of your basement to identify vulnerabilities, allowing us to tailor waterproofing measures to your specific needs.

1. Assessment: We begin with a detailed evaluation of your basement and foundation, pinpointing potential sources of water intrusion.
2. Membrane Installation: We utilize high-quality impermeable membranes, such as two layers of bitumen-saturated felt, ensuring a strong barrier against moisture on your foundation walls.
3. Floor Waterproofing: For areas susceptible to hydrostatic pressure, we apply a specialized membrane between layers of concrete to create a watertight seal that connects seamlessly to wall membranes.
4. Pressure Relief Systems: Our solutions also include systems designed to relieve water pressure, protecting your foundation from the adverse effects of excess moisture.

In addition to waterproofing, proper drainage is vital for maintaining a dry basement. Aglow Contracting offers expert foundation drainage services that work hand-in-hand with our waterproofing solutions.

• Perimeter Drain Installation: We install drain pipes around the basement perimeter to efficiently redirect water away from your foundation, preventing accumulation and potential flooding.
• Granular Backfill: Our drainage systems are covered with at least 150 mm (6 in.) of clean gravel or crushed rock, promoting optimal drainage and preventing clogging. We also use filter fabric to keep fine particles at bay.
• Specialized Solutions for Wet Areas: For homes situated in wet regions or with high water tables, we implement additional drainage features, such as lateral drain pipes under the floor slab, to manage hydrostatic pressure effectively.
• Sump Systems: In some cases, we install sump pumps to remove excess water, ensuring your basement stays dry even in heavy rain.
