Your basement may be showing signs of water intrusion if it feels humid, produces a musky/moldy smell, or visible moisture spots. These signs are more common in spring and fall as rain water and snow runoff create water pools underneath and surrounding your home. Under the right conditions, the water pools build up pressure and permeate concrete, sometimes causing cracks or visible moisture spots.
The good news is that these leaks can be prevented with a Basement Waterproofing System. At Cananadian Rooter we offer a choice between the two systems on the market today - Interior and Exterior Waterproofing. The systems can also be installed together for maximum protection.
The membrane is installed on the interior of your foundation - on the inside of the basement. The water runs-off into a foundation floor drain. There are also additional measures that can be taken to foolproof the basement, such as adding a sump pump.
An exterior waterproofing membrane is a membrane that is applied to the exterior of the foundation. It is intended to stop water before it has a chance to pass over or through the foundation wall. This eliminates the damage the water can cause to the foundation wall itself as well as other components of the building or personal belongings if your basement or crawlspace is finished or used for storage.
At Canadian Rooter we provide a variety of high quality waterproofing solutions, for every need and budget. No matter how big or small is your repair, it will be done by the code, on time, with highest quality, and the best part - at reasonable rates!
Waterproofing repairs can cost thousands of dollars and for this reason we provide customized monthly plans so you can enjoy a dry basement without emptying your bank account!

BOOK A FREE CONSULTATIONWater was coming into the bedroom of my furnished short term rental income property. It was important to get it fixed quickly between guests. I did not want to dig up the front of the house at the beginning of our busiest season. Canadian Rooter responded quickly and gave me the best quote and the fastest service! I picked them from a newspaper ad and was a bit dubious. They did tell me that the best way was to dig from the outside, but I could not do that at this time of year. The crew was great, very clean. Walter, the foreman, kept in communication. They were professional and provided me with licensing papers. The work was done quickly and looks very good. They had to dig down through the basement concrete floor which necessitated removing drywall, studs, insulation. They installed weeping tiles, a strong membrane, redirected a problem drain. They do not replace drywall and studs, etc., but referred me to Ivan, a carpenter/handyman colleague who is doing an excellent job as well. Great service! I would highly recommend Canadian Rooter and will use them again. In my furnished rental business, I am often asked if I know good trades people. I will use this site for referrals! I did not know it existed until now. Thanks a lot!
Very professional and quick! We had a flood in our basement and found out it was the result of sewer back up and foundation leek. These guys came in right away and started working immediately. They were extremely neat and tidy; they showed up at 7:30am and didn't leave until 7pm. There is now no leaking at all and I would very highly recommend using them!
The Canadian Rooter crew came into my house to fix existing waterproofing that was made wrong. Foreman explained to me everything that was done wrongfully, and promised to do the job right and on time. He also understood my situation, and expenses that I had to suffer, and didn't charge me as much, as in other estimates. The guys did their job very professionally; they organized their time properly, and left their place clean after they left. THANK YOU Canadian Rooter!!!
Had a leaky basement that could not be waterproofed from exterior, so I called Canadian Rooter for an interior solution. They answered by questions and came in immediately to waterproof the side of my basement and installed a sump pump. So far so good. Quick and easy and gave me a competitive price as I received three quotes and negotiated price. Very happy with the service. Thanks
