Exterior Foundation Waterproofing Near Nanaimo, Saanich, Victoria

Keep your home protected with quality waterproofing services

This foundation section was leaking through honeycombing, and as the interior was fully finished, it was best to dig it out and install an exterior waterproofing system.

When you have waterproofing issues with your foundation, it can be challenging to find the right solution. At Island Basement Systems, we typically recommend interior drainage systems for leaky basements and crawl spaces, but there are times when an exterior waterproofing repair is the right choice.

If you've noticed leaks, standing water, or other waterproofing issues, call us today at 1-250-385-2768 or contact us online to get an evaluation of your basement or crawl space. Our experts will recommend the best solution for your needs. We offer free estimates on all our work in Victoria, Nanaimo, Saanich and the surrounding areas.

When will exterior waterproofing not be the right choice?

After the basement was dug out, we prepped the concrete by grinding it (to ensure it was clean), then installed the WatchDog Waterproofing and Delta-Drain system to provide a water-tight wall.

When the house is missing a footing (most Island homes before 1945 don't have footings)
Old, rock foundations (the foundation can collapse when the soil is pulled away from it)
Beautiful, and expensive, landscaping
Deep basements where we have to dig a hole 8-10 feet deep to get to the foundation
Tight budgets. Exterior waterproofing can be an expensive process depending upon the home
