Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to Protect Your Home
Without proper basement waterproofing, excess water in the soil around your foundation can cause cracks to form. With Canada’s fluctuating weather, water can seep into these cracks, freezing and thawing alternately, which worsens the damage and allows more water to enter.
Mersey Heating and Air Conditioning specializes in interior waterproofing to keep your basement dry and secure. Our solutions include:
Foundation Crack Repair
Small cracks can rapidly develop into major structural issues. Our team will begin waterproofing your basement by identifying all cracks in the foundation and sealing them with epoxy injections and polyurethane sealants. This prevents further water intrusion.
Interior Drainage Systems
Even without visible cracks, water may still enter your home. Common entry points like pipe openings and basement windows aren’t the only culprits: high hydrostatic pressure from rain and snow can force water through the concrete. If water collects along your basement floor, we can install an interior drainage system to direct it away and keep your basement dry.
Waterproofing Coatings & Sealants
For an added layer of protection, we can apply waterproof membranes, vapour barriers, and sealants to your basement walls. These methods block moisture and help prevent mould growth, providing long-term defence.
