Drainage & Excavation Solutions That Protect Your Foundation
Waterproofing is not simply applying material to a wall. Proper drainage is what moves groundwater away from the foundation before it can build pressure against it.

Drainage Problems
Water Has To Go Somewhere.
Toronto's clay-heavy soil holds water. When the drainage at the footing has failed, or surface water is being delivered straight to the foundation by downspouts and negative grading, that water sits against the wall and pressure does the rest.
Restoring drainage is often the difference between a waterproofing repair that lasts and one that returns the following spring.

How Foundation Drainage Actually Works.
Perforated pipe laid in clear stone at footing level collects groundwater before it can rise against the wall and carries it to a storm connection or sump pit. Filter fabric keeps soil out of the stone so the system keeps draining.

Sump Systems
A Controlled Place For Water To Go.
Where gravity discharge isn't available, a sump pit and pump take over. Sizing, discharge routing and backup power all matter — the pump is most needed during the storm most likely to cut the power.

Drainage & Excavation FAQs
Still unsure what applies to your home? Call us and describe what you're seeing.
Failed drainage usually shows up as water appearing at the base of the wall or through the floor-wall joint after heavy rain, and often as saturated soil that stays wet long after a storm. In older homes the original clay tile has commonly cracked, shifted at the joints, or filled with soil and tree roots. It cannot be repaired in place once that has happened — the run is replaced.
