Last winter in Edmonton was an on/off winter, warm one day - freezing temperatures the next. When water falls and then freezes continuously eventually it gets in to existing cracks in the basement foundation .It then freezes and expands causing a separation in the wall of the foundation allowing water to seep in and cause basement leaks and damage. Another culprit is those weeping tiles getting old and plugged with sand and dirt . .Once that happens their is no where for the excess water to go except into your basement causing more headaches and damage to your residential home. Let us fix your leaking basement for good by using our basement waterproofing procedure. .

How and Why Does My Basement Leak?
In order to understand what options exist for solving a water problem in your Edmonton basement, you must first be familiar with some basic facts about foundation construction and the dynamics of water pressure. The illustrations in Figure 1 and Figure 2 depict side views of two different below-grade (below ground level) walls. I have selected a hollow  cinder block wall and a solid poured concrete wall to illustrate the various elements making up the stages of basement seepage. Familiarize yourself with these drawings, as they will become the keystone in comprehending why your basement leaks and what to do about it.

Signs of waterproofing problems.


  Humidity – Even if water isn’t a problem in your basement, humidity can be. Humidity condenses surfaces, where it can grow mold, cause rot, attract dust mites, and provide an uncomfortable environment for humans. There are simple things you can do to lower humidity levels in your basement.




 Ugly Appearance – In an unfinished basement, water can turn your basement walls and floor really ugly. A loose mineral salt, called efflorescence, is caused by humidity and looks like a white powdery substance. It not a danger but can be a constant problem if there is humidity. Chipped paint is caused by humidity too, where moisture goes through porous basement walls and puts pressure on the paint from the inside. Reddish or orange stains are usually caused by iron ochre, when there is a lot of iron in the soil. Not a problem for humans but can be for plumbing. And finally, dark stains or patches indicate mold problems that need to be checked out right away.  


 Funky Smells – Smells come hand-in-hand with humidity. Most foul basement odors are caused by mold, mildew, rot, or dust mites. Drywall, wood, fiberglass, paper products, paint, leather and cloth all make good homes for these culprits. You have to control your humidity level to prevent these odors.


. Window Leaks – Basement windows allow sunshine into the dark world of a basement. Windows are much more prone to leaks than concrete walls, so extra care has to be taken with them. Make sure the seal is good and not cracking- if water is not getting in, it’s still possible heat or cold air is getting out. A good waterproofing system will have special drainage channels for windows to prevent flooding through them.


 Basement foundation Cracks – Cracks allow water to seep into your home. Some cracks are natural and just happen because of settling. But even small cracks can get bigger over time if water is coming through them. That’s especially the case during winter as water expands and contracts as it freezes and thaws. More serious cracks ( cracks in the floor, or cracks larger than 1/8” inch wide) indicate foundation problems and should be checked out immediately by a professional.  



 Basement Leaking or Flooding – Groundwater causes “hydrostatic pressure” against your basement walls from the outside, where water is basically trying to force its way inside your house. From the inside, a burst pipe or leaking appliance can leak water into your home. Water entry leads to bigger cracks, mold, smells, stains, and so much more.

(780) 800-7436



 Sump Pump Failure – If you have a sump pump it’s because you’re already aware of what water damage can do to your home. But if that sump pump fails at a bad time, you’re back to square one. Water isn’t being pumped out so it collects with the potential for flooding. That’s why it’s always a good idea to do regular checkups and to have a backup or battery system in place.  



 Basement Walls Buckling or Bowing – Once again, hydrostatic pressure is the culprit. Cracks can usually be fixed before they lead to bigger problems, but by the time you see your walls bowing or buckling it means that pressure problem has been going on for a long time. Since rebuilding the foundation is usually not a good option, there are a number of other, less expensive options available from professional basement contractors.  



 Basement Floors Sinking or Cracking – Any problems related to your basement floor are serious issues that need professional inspection. The soil under and around your home can erode because of water, leaving little support for those parts of the foundation. Mistakes during construction can also show up as your house settles and ages. In any case, these problems need to be addressed as soon as they are spotted because they only get worse.



(780)-800-7436



 Basement Mold – Mold will cause you a number of headaches (sometimes literally). It smells, it looks awful, it will deteriorate your home’s value, and worst of all it causes serious health problems. Headaches, asthma, allergic reactions and many other health issues have all been linked to mold. Mold is a serious problem and should not be taken lightly. Have a professional mold removal company inspect your home as soon as you realize there is mold. Mold will start growing in the dampest and darkest places where we don’t usually see, so by the time it’s actually visible to you it has been growing for quite some time.

Most builders in the Edmonton area offer only a one-year warranty against seepage (basement) on new homes. And when an existing home is sold, most provinces require a one-year dry basement warranty. This shows that the various watch dog consumer agencies are well aware that basement seepage problems exist, on a huge scale. Unfortunately, building techniques reflect the fact that homebuilders are not required to furnish a more comprehensive guarantee than the standard one year.

Hydrostatic Pressure = Leaks


In order to gain a greater overview of a complex problem, let's look at how the average Edmonton and Calgary basement gets built. First of all, the contractor digs a hole in which to place the basement foundation. Often times this excavation takes place in dense, heavy clay typical of many areas in the Alberta areas  throughout the western areas. If it rains copiously during the excavation period and before the basement is built, one can see large amounts of water standing in the excavation hole because the rainwater cannot percolate downwards through the dense clay. If the excavation takes place in an area where springs are active, water can be observed gently running into the excavation site from the sides of the hole continuously, even in the absence of rainfall. Basements or crawlspaces are placed anywhere from 3 feet to 14 feet deep in the earth and the depths of excavations vary according to the architect's design. One thing is for sure, if the soil type traps and holds water for longer than 48 hours, then the basement built there is in jeopardy of leaking unless properly waterproofed and drained. But, we'll get to that later.

After the space for the basement is fully excavated and is large enough to accommodate the basement as well as an additional six to seven feet working space beyond where the walls will stand, the footing is poured. The footing is the continuous ribbon of concrete on which the foundation walls will be placed. The structural integrity of this footing is extremely important since tons of foundation walls, plus the superstructure of the house will be permanently resting on it. If shortcuts are taken or if the footing is somehow 'sub-code, then the chances that the basement will leak rise dramatically.
