The Leaky Basement Problem in Mississauga

The city of Mississauga receives its fair share of rain throughout the year, and most basements are not ready for it. Many homes in Mississauga have very poor and/or no basement waterproofing systems installed on their foundation walls. And this can turn into a nightmare during heavy rainfall. Due to rain or thaw, water puddles begin to form around your house, and can be soaked into the soil. Since there is no barrier, the water in the ground begins to seep through concrete basement walls and cause water damage. In most cases, basement walls are damaged due to water seepage and this can start growing mold and mildew, which can become a severe health hazard.

On top of that, hydrostatic pressure from the soil starts to make cracks in your basement walls, weakening your home’s foundation. Your wet basement turns into a musty-smelling, mold-infested, flooded room that can quickly turn into a liability. All this can be avoided by waterproofing your basement, and GJ MacRae, the best Mississauga basement waterproofing company, is always at your service.

Excellent service from beginning to end. We would highly recommend this company. Dean assessed the problem (water leaking into our furnace room as a result of a window well that another company had incorrectly installed previously) and provided a thorough estimate detailing every aspect of the project. He then scheduled the job to be done before the big winter storm that had been forecast. The crew arrived exactly on time and completed the job, to the very best professional standard, in less than a day. We are so glad we chose G.J. MacRae. Thank you very much.

Window Wells

Window Wells Mississauga

Basement windows are a great source of natural light. They can also act as a designated fire escape, but what happens when window wells begin to deteriorate, clog and leak? Our hand-excavated exterior window well repair solutions are permanent and allow for guaranteed unimpeded drainage all year long.

The GJ MacRae Solution: Basement Waterproofing Mississauga

The very first step is to establish the location of the cracks in the foundation walls. We set up tarps and dig all the way down to the footings to not miss any of the cracks.

Next, we clean the exposed walls with a wire brush. We then chisel out the cracks, put hydraulic cement in the cracks using a trowel, and let the cement set.

After the hydraulic cement is set, we apply a quick-drying primer to the foundation walls. The primer helps provide aggressive adhesion to the walls, which is needed in subsequent steps in the waterproofing process.

A special Hydroshield rubberized membrane is applied to the entire wall using a trowel. This rubberized membrane is impermeable to air, moisture, and liquid water. A layer of fiberglass mesh is also applied to provide flexibility to the membrane while keeping its integrity. Another layer of Hydroshield is then applied again, creating a double coat and extra protection. This will guarantee that no water can pass through.

We apply a layer of thick plastic in the membranes while the patch is still sticky. After that, we install a Platon drainage board on top of the quadruple-layered membrane. It acts as an additional layer preventing water from getting to the foundation wall while protecting the membrane behind it during the backfilling.

The existing weeping tile drainage is replaced. A new weeping tile system is installed and is surrounded by a filter sock that helps to clean fine particles from groundwater and eases the drainage process.

Now we start the backfilling process. We first like to fill the top and around the weeping tile system with clear gravel to ensure consistent and rapid drainage. After that, the native soil is installed back into the excavation. Power tamping the soil every 6" -12" inches ensures that the drainage is consistent and that the rubberized membrane and waterproofing system are locked into place, restoring the original grade within the repaired areas.

A termination strip is attached to the top of the Platon drainage board to ensure that the strip does not separate from the board. After completion, everything within the repaired area is washed and swept.
