💧 Why You Need Specialized Waterproofing in Calgary

Calgary properties face unique environmental stressors that require more than just a basic sealant. Our local geography and "Chinook" weather patterns create high-risk conditions for:

• Hydrostatic Pressure: Saturated soil during spring thaws pushing water through concrete pores.
• Foundation Expansion: Extreme freeze-thaw cycles causing hairline cracks in your foundation walls.
• Seepage & Dampness: Moisture wicking through floors and walls, leading to musty odors and ruined finishes.
• Poor Site Drainage: Water pooling near the house due to improper grading or failing weeping tiles.

✅ Our Calgary Home Waterproofing Services

We offer a comprehensive suite of interior and exterior protection strategies:

• Foundation Membrane Installation: Applying high-performance, rubberized membranes to the exterior of your foundation to stop water before it touches the concrete.
• Interior Basement Waterproofing: Installing drainage tracks and vapor barriers to manage moisture and direct it to a sump system.
• Crawl Space Encapsulation: Sealing and insulating crawl spaces with heavy-duty liners to block ground moisture and improve air quality.
• French Drain & Weeping Tile Systems: Installing or repairing perimeter drainage to redirect groundwater away from your home.
• Sump Pump System Upgrades: Installing industrial-grade primary and battery-backup pumps for 24/7 flood protection.
• Window Well & Egress Waterproofing: Ensuring window wells are properly drained and sealed against flash flooding.
• Foundation Crack Injection: Using high-pressure resins to seal cracks from the inside out, restoring structural integrity.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

What is home waterproofing and why is it important?

‍It is a combination of methods used to prevent water from entering your home’s structure. It is essential for protecting your foundation, preventing mold, and maintaining your property's value.

How do I know if my home needs waterproofing?

‍Common signs include water stains on foundation walls, a persistent "musty" smell, damp carpets, or visible cracks in the basement concrete.

How long does a waterproofing project take?

‍Most projects range from 2 to 10 days, depending on whether we are working on the interior or performing a full exterior excavation.

Can you waterproof my home during the winter?

‍Yes. While summer is peak season, we have specialized techniques and equipment to perform foundation repairs and interior waterproofing even in Calgary’s colder months.

Do your systems come with a warranty?

‍Absolutely. We stand behind our work with multi-year warranties on our membranes and drainage systems.

Is waterproofing covered by my insurance?

‍While insurance often covers the damage caused by a leak, preventative waterproofing is usually considered a maintenance investment. We provide full documentation to help you understand your coverage.

What is the difference between a sealant and a membrane?

‍A sealant is a surface coating, while a membrane is a thick, flexible barrier that can bridge small cracks as the house shifts, providing much more durable protection.

Will waterproofing stop the mold in my basement?

‍Yes. Mold needs moisture to survive. By eliminating the water source through waterproofing, you create an environment where mold cannot grow.
