A Watertight, Durable Foundation
A building’s foundation represents the strongest element in its construction. In the absence of a proper drainage system, water accumulation or cracks could cause serious damage to the structure and lead to water infiltration, as well as significant financial costs. Waterproofing the foundation acts as a barrier between water and concrete, keeping you dry while extending the life of your concrete foundation.
Call on a specialized team with the know-how and equipment needed to get the job done properly and up to building code. Our objective is to provide you with a 100% watertight foundation so you can live worry-free for many years. When it comes to foundation waterproofing, choose a durable solution tailored to your needs.
How Our Teams Waterproof the Foundations of Your Building
When we carry out foundation waterproofing work, we use quality equipment and materials, which will keep you dry and offer long-lasting results.
The first step is to apply a waterproofing membrane that is specially designed for structures below ground level to prevent water infiltration. There are several types of membrane, which is why we have selected a product that offers excellent performance, both during temperature changes and with different materials. This ensures quality work and will protect the structure of the building in the long run.
We then apply an additional membrane which prevents damage caused by humidity from cracks, underground structures and other problems while controlling the water flow. Composed in multi-layers, this product relieves hydrostatic pressure and offers optimal drainage performance. This process ultimately allows the water to be drained continuously, while returning it to the French drain pipes.
