Aquaboss provides expert-led interior waterproofing systems specifically designed for Toronto homes.
Interior basement waterproofing is a permanent, non-invasive method to stop water intrusion from inside the foundation. It is the preferred solution for finished basements, limited-access properties, and homeowners in Toronto seeking year-round protection from groundwater, surface runoff, and moisture seepage.
Our approach addresses below-grade moisture using internal drainage, sump basins, and vapor barriers—without disturbing exterior landscaping or foundation walls. All systems are installed by certified technicians and backed by long-term warranties.

A certified technician inspects the basement using moisture meters and visual assessment tools. Signs like wall stains, floor dampness, and musty odors help determine the level and source of water intrusion. Based on findings, we prepare a detailed estimate with no cost or obligation.
We identify specific points of water intrusion, including foundation cracks, pipe penetrations, and failed joints. Diagnosing the entry location is critical to selecting the right drainage strategy and sealing solution.
A trench is cut along the interior perimeter using a concrete saw and jackhammer. Dust is managed with vacuums and protective barriers. This trench becomes the path for the drain tile system and allows access to the footing wall joint.
We place perforated drainage pipe into the trench and slope it toward a newly installed sump basin. The pipe is surrounded by gravel and covered with fresh concrete for a level finish. The basin connects to a sump pump that removes collected water.
A flexible waterproof membrane or vapor barrier is applied to the foundation wall. It protects against wall seepage and moisture vapor transmission. The barrier is sealed to direct moisture downward into the drain channel.
The system is tested for proper flow, pump activation, and drainage response. All surfaces are cleaned, joints are sealed, and any disturbed areas are restored. The technician provides guidance on sump pump.
No two basements are alike. That’s why Aquaboss designs personalized waterproofing plans based on the layout, usage, and structural condition of each space. Whether you have a finished living area, storage zone, or partially renovated basement, the system is adapted to match real conditions—not general templates.
Our process starts with a detailed inspection to evaluate wall materials, foundation type, drain paths, and interior finishes. We then recommend a custom combination of drainage channels, vapor barriers, and sump components to ensure lasting protection.
Each plan also includes clear recommendations for maintenance and future-proofing. We align every system with local building standards and homeowner priorities.
Interior waterproofing offers a practical and effective solution for many Toronto homeowners, particularly when exterior excavation is not feasible due to space, landscaping, or seasonal conditions. It’s designed to manage water after it enters the foundation, redirecting it safely before it can damage finished surfaces.
Key reasons to choose interior waterproofing:
Ideal for finished basements – The system works beneath flooring without disturbing existing drywall or insulation.
Lower installation cost – It requires less labor and equipment than exterior digging.
Works year-round – Unlike exterior systems, interior waterproofing can be installed even during winter.
Non-disruptive – There’s no need to excavate soil, remove decks, or alter driveways.
Flexible access – Suitable for homes with limited exterior clearance or attached neighbors.
We provide detailed assessments, transparent pricing, and honest recommendations based on structural need—not sales quotas.

Interior waterproofing is recommended when your basement shows early signs of water intrusion that originate inside the foundation envelope. These signs often develop gradually and may not seem urgent at first, but they can lead to long-term structural and health issues if left untreated.
These symptoms typically point to a leak along the cove joint, porous concrete, or foundation hairline cracks—issues that can be effectively managed with a non-invasive interior waterproofing system.
Common indicators include:
Efflorescence – white chalk-like residue forming on basement walls
Damp carpet or flooring – especially near walls or in corners
Musty odor or visible mildew – signaling elevated humidity and poor airflow
Condensation on walls or floors – often caused by temperature differences and poor vapor control
