Interior Basement Waterproofing: Vapor Barriers & Sealants

Interior waterproofing is used when water enters through basement walls or under the concrete floor. Our crew installs subfloor drainage channels, vapor barriers, and sealants to keep moisture from spreading. When we find structural cracks, we inject them with hydraulic cement or polyurethane foam, depending on the wall type and crack depth. This system works especially well in Barrie homes where outdoor access is limited or where water pushes in due to hydrostatic pressure.

Exterior Basement Waterproofing: Excavation, Membranes & Drain Boards

Exterior waterproofing protects your foundation by stopping water before it reaches the basement wall. We excavate around the home, apply waterproof membranes to the foundation, and install drain boards with a full weeping tile system. This method keeps water away from the wall surface and helps prevent long-term pressure buildup or wall damage. It’s the most reliable way to keep your basement dry from the outside.

Sump Pumps for Basement Flood Prevention

Sump pumps remove groundwater from beneath the basement floor. At AquaBoss, we install sealed sump pits with high-capacity pumps, battery backups, and backflow valves to prevent flooding. Each system includes proper discharge lines and overflow protection to keep your Barrie basement dry during storms or power outages.

French Drains, Window Wells & Drainage Control

French drains collect and redirect groundwater before it builds pressure against your foundation. Window wells keep rainwater away from below-grade windows and help prevent leaks during heavy storms. These systems are ideal for Barrie homes with poor grading or old basement windows. At AquaBoss, we design full perimeter waterproofing systems that include French drains and window wells for better protection on all sides.

Drain Cleaning & Perimeter Drain Repair

Clogged perimeter drains can result in a damp or wet basement, even if your waterproofing system is operational. Our team conducts camera inspections, hydro-jetting, and snaking to clear blockages caused by soil, clay, or root intrusion. Additionally, we regrade drainage slopes and replace collapsed weeping tile to prevent water from entering your basement and to maintain proper flow. These services are crucial for both internal and external waterproofing systems.

Backwater Valve Installation

A backwater valve keeps sewage from backing up into your basement during heavy rainfall or sewer overload. We install code-approved backwater valves that block reverse flow from the city’s system. This is an important line of protection in older Barrie neighborhoods with aging sewer infrastructure.

Battery Backup Sump Systems

Power outages often happen during big storms—right when you need your sump pump the most. We install battery backup systems that keep your pump running during blackouts. These backups help protect your Barrie basement from rising groundwater and sump failure. Each unit works automatically when power is lost and includes smart chargers and sealed batteries.

Drain Snaking & Pipe Cleaning

Clogged drain lines and blocked weeping tiles often cause wet basements. At AquaBoss, we use cameras and high-pressure snaking tools to clear out sediment, roots, and other debris. This service improves drainage flow and protects your waterproofing system from being overwhelmed. It’s an affordable way to maintain basement performance and avoid moisture problems.

Drain Line Repair & Pipe Replacement

Damaged or misaligned drain pipes can lead to repeat leaks or basement flooding. We repair only the damaged sections to avoid full excavation and preserve your yard. If needed, we replace weeping tiles or drainage lines that affect your waterproofing system. This service is key for older Barrie homes where pipes may have cracked or shifted over time.

Bench Footings & Slab Replacement  

Bench footings are a strong alternative to underpinning in older or tight basement spaces. We pour reinforced concrete along the walls to support the foundation while lowering the floor height. In many Barrie homes, we also replace old or cracked basement slabs as part of a full structural and waterproofing upgrade. This method adds strength and helps protect against future water damage.
