Structural Reinforcement: In cases where the foundation is compromised, we strengthen it to help ensure your home remains protected for years to come.
Waterproofing & Foundation Repair to Protect Your Home
If your basement isn’t properly waterproofed, moisture from the surrounding soil can lead to foundation cracks. Due to Canada’s changing weather, water may enter these cracks, freeze, then thaw—gradually making the gaps larger and letting in even more water.
The Comfort Group focuses on interior waterproofing methods designed to keep your basement safe and dry. Our approach includes:
Foundation Crack Repair
Even minor cracks can develop into serious structural concerns if left untreated. Our process begins with identifying all foundation cracks, which we then seal using epoxy injections and polyurethane-based materials. This step helps stop additional water from getting in.
Interior Drainage Systems
Water can still find its way into your basement even if there aren’t any visible cracks. Openings around pipes and basement windows are frequent trouble spots, but they’re not the only ones—heavy rain or melting snow can create hydrostatic pressure strong enough to push moisture right through concrete walls. If water starts to pool along the basement floor, we can put in an interior drainage system to divert it and maintain a dry environment in your basement.
Waterproofing Coatings & Sealants
To further safeguard your basement, we can add waterproof membranes, vapour barriers, and specialized sealants to the walls. These methods help keep moisture out and reduce the risk of mould, providing lasting protection for your home.
