Basement waterproofing is a permanent solution that protects your foundation from water infiltration and long-term structural damage.
In Toronto, where seasonal moisture levels and soil pressure fluctuate drastically, a certified waterproofing system is essential for maintaining a dry and healthy basement.
Aquaboss provides full-service basement waterproofing across the Greater Toronto Area, including interior and exterior solutions tailored to the structure and condition of your home. Whether you're dealing with damp walls, a musty smell, or visible cracks in your foundation, our team installs durable systems that stop water at the source.
We use locally tested drainage solutions, membrane barriers, and sump systems engineered for Toronto’s climate and soil conditions. All services are performed by trained technicians and backed by long-term warranties.
Basement waterproofing is a structural and moisture-control method that prevents groundwater, rainwater, or surface water from entering below-grade living areas. It combines drainage, sealing, and redirection systems to eliminate water intrusion at both the interior and exterior levels of a foundation.
A standard waterproofing system may include weeping tiles installed along the footing, directing water away from the home through gravity or toward a sump pit. A sump pump then evacuates the water outside the building envelope. For additional protection, waterproof membranes are applied to exterior walls or floor-to-wall joints, forming a continuous moisture barrier.
Interior waterproofing often integrates vapor barriers and trench systems that intercept water before it reaches interior surfaces. Exterior waterproofing involves excavation and sealing of the foundation wall with dimple boards, elastomeric coatings, and foundation-grade membranes.

A certified technician inspects the basement for signs of water intrusion, including damp walls, floor discoloration, and elevated humidity. Moisture meters and infrared tools are used to identify hidden seepage and determine whether the issue is surface-level or structural.
Based on inspection results, we identify the source of the water, evaluate the type of foundation, and recommend either an interior or exterior waterproofing method. The solution is customized based on basement use, access conditions, and severity of the moisture problem.
For interior work, we remove flooring near the perimeter and excavate a shallow trench. For exterior jobs, excavation equipment is used to expose the foundation wall to footing level. In both cases, we ensure access to problem zones and protect nearby structures.
Interior systems include drainage channels, a sump basin, and optional vapor barriers. Exterior systems involve application of waterproof membranes, dimple boards, and gravel layers. All installations include proper slope and hydrostatic redirection to ensure effective water flow.
Each system is tested for flow and seal integrity. We check slope angles, sump discharge function, and membrane adhesion. Once confirmed, the site is cleaned and restored to its original condition or prepared for basement finishing.
We guide the homeowner through the completed system and explain how to maintain long-term dryness. This includes sump testing, gutter maintenance, and early warning signs to monitor.

Choosing between interior and exterior basement waterproofing depends on the source of water intrusion, the structure of your home, and the basement’s intended use. Both systems serve to keep your basement dry, but they function differently and address water at different points of entry.
Interior waterproofing is ideal for finished basements or when exterior access is limited. This method involves installing a drainage channel along the interior perimeter, covered by a concrete layer. Collected water is directed to a sump pit and discharged outside. Interior solutions are effective for controlling seepage from floors or cove joints but do not address pressure from the outside wall.
Exterior waterproofing is the recommended method when there are visible cracks, wall saturation, or signs of exterior pressure. The process includes excavation around the foundation, cleaning and sealing the exterior wall, and applying a waterproof membrane with a dimple board for drainage. This solution blocks water before it reaches the foundation and helps preserve structural integrity.
Waterproofing should be done at the first sign of moisture, not after major damage occurs. Small problems like damp spots, condensation on walls, or a musty smell are often early warnings of deeper issues that can escalate quickly. Acting early prevents costly repairs and protects both the structure and air quality of your home.
Delaying waterproofing increases the risk of:
Additionally, waiting until the basement floods often leads to emergency work at higher costs. Preemptive waterproofing ensures long-term protection and gives homeowners time to choose the best system, contractor, and pricing.
Basement waterproofing in Toronto typically costs between $65 and $250 per linear foot, depending on whether the work is performed inside or outside the home. Foundation repairs, sump pump installations, and other related services can range from $550 to $3,600 depending on complexity.
Several factors influence the final price of basement waterproofing, including:
