Foundation Waterproofing in Surrey, BC

With the foundation wall excavated, the wall itself can be sealed. This is the highest-value moment in any drainage project, and it is the reason waterproofing and drain tile replacement are so often quoted together. Surrey's clay-heavy soils drain slowly, so yard grading corrections, storm drainage and perimeter drain tile work are the go-to fixes from Newton through Cloverdale and South Surrey.

Systems used

Spray-applied damp-proofing, self-adhered rubberized membranes, and dimple board drainage mats that direct water down to the new drain tile.

Crack and cold-joint repair

Polyurethane or epoxy injection seals structural and non-structural cracks before the membrane goes on.

Why it lasts

An exterior system stops water at the outside face of the wall, which protects rebar, prevents efflorescence and keeps finished basements dry.
