Interior Waterproofing That Moves Water Where It Belongs

Interior basement waterproofing creates a drainage path below the floor so water can be collected and directed away from the living space.

Our process starts by jackhammering the perimeter of the basement floor. We remove the concrete and required soil, install drain tile and drainage rock, apply vapour barrier, and re-concrete the floor.

For many homeowners, this approach is less invasive and more cost-effective than exterior excavation while still helping reduce moisture, improve air quality, and regain usable basement space.

Water at the Wall-Floor Joint

Water showing up around the basement perimeter often needs a drainage path below the slab, not another surface patch.

Damp, Musty Basement Air

Moisture below grade can raise humidity, create odours, and make the basement feel uncomfortable or unhealthy.

Exterior Access Is Difficult

When excavation is limited by decks, landscaping, driveways, or budget, interior waterproofing can be a smart alternative.

How interior waterproofing works

A Basement Drainage System Built Below the Floor

Drain tile, drainage rock, vapour barrier, and new concrete work together to collect and control water inside the basement.

Open the basement perimeter

We jackhammer the perimeter of the floor and remove the concrete and soil needed to create space for drainage.

Install drain tile and drainage rock

Drain tile and drainage rock are installed below the floor to collect and carry water to the proper discharge point.

Apply vapour barrier and re-concrete

A vapour barrier is installed, then the floor is re-concreted so the system is protected and the basement is ready to use again.
