Interior Basement Waterproofing: Vapor Barriers & Sealants

Interior basement waterproofing is essential when moisture seeps in through basement walls or from beneath the floor slab. In Hamilton homes, AquaBoss installs subfloor drainage channels, humidity-resistant vapor barriers, and industrial-grade sealants to intercept and redirect intruding water. For deeper or structural cracks, we use either hydraulic or polyurethane injection—carefully selected based on wall composition and moisture pressure.

Exterior Basement Waterproofing: Excavation, Membranes & Drain Boards

In Hamilton, exterior basement waterproofing is the most effective way to block water before it reaches your foundation. AquaBoss excavates the soil to expose basement walls, applies waterproof membranes, installs drainage boards, and connects a weeping tile system to redirect groundwater. This external waterproofing method protects your basement from water damage, especially in areas with clay soil and strong freeze-thaw cycles, offering long-term defense against seepage and foundation pressure.

Sump Pumps for Basement Flood Prevention

Sump pump systems remove groundwater that collects beneath the basement floor. At AquaBoss, we install sealed pits with high-capacity pumps, backflow prevention, and battery backups to ensure operation during storm-related power outages. Every system includes proper discharge routing and overflow protection. This helps keep your basement dry, even when the grid goes down in Hamilton’s frequent rainfalls and rapidly rising groundwater conditions.

French Drains, Window Wells & Drainage Control

French drains collect and redirect groundwater before it builds pressure near your foundation. Window wells protect below-grade windows from water buildup and leaks—especially during Hamilton’s heavy rainfalls. These systems help prevent basement issues and ensure effective foundation waterproofing. At AquaBoss, we integrate both into full-perimeter waterproofing plans that safeguard your basement from all sides.

Drain Cleaning & Perimeter Drain Repair

Blocked perimeter drains can lead to a damp or wet basement, even with a working waterproofing system in place. In Hamilton homes, we perform camera inspections, hydro-jetting, and snaking to remove root growth, soil buildup, and debris. We also regrade the drainage slope and replace damaged weeping tile to keep water out of your basement and support both internal and external waterproofing performance.

Backwater Valve Installation

Backwater valves are one way waterproofing can help prevent basement flooding by stopping sewage from flowing back into your home. We install code-compliant backwater valves in Hamilton that block reverse flow and meet all municipal requirements. This safeguard helps prevent basement leaks, especially in older neighborhoods where aging sewer lines increase the risk.

Battery Backup Sump Systems

Storm-related power outages can disable standard sump pumps—right when your basement needs protection most. Our battery backup systems operate during Hamilton’s blackouts, helping you maintain a dry and secure basement. These systems are essential when you waterproof your basement in flood-prone zones and are the best way to safeguard your basement from storm-related groundwater risks.

Drain Snaking & Pipe Cleaning

Clogged pipes and blocked weeping tiles are a common source of damp or wet basement conditions. In Hamilton, we use camera inspection and high-pressure snaking to remove roots, sediment, and debris that restrict water flow. This service supports overall drainage performance and can be a low-cost part of any wet basement repair or ongoing waterproofing job.

Drain Line Repair & Pipe Replacement

Broken or collapsed drain lines can cause chronic leaks and flooding near the foundation. We repair only the affected pipe sections to protect your basement from water while minimizing excavation on Hamilton properties. This service is vital when your waterproofing project depends on reliable underground drainage performance.

Bench Footings & Slab Replacement

Bench footings provide a stable alternative to full basement underpinning, especially in older or space-restricted Hamilton homes. We install reinforced concrete supports along perimeter walls and replace cracked sections of the floor in your basement when settlement or structural shifting occurs. This method is often paired with interior and exterior waterproofing to ensure long-term stability and moisture protection.
