Advantages of Choosing Interior Waterproofing Over Exterior Waterproofing
Interior basement waterproofing Toronto is carried out in existing buildings and has its own features that provide several advantages.
Precise Sealant Application
Interior waterproofing aims to eliminate cracks and openings within the structure, effectively preventing water penetration. It provides an additional level of moisture protection, helping to maintain the integrity of the structure and extend its lifespan.
Protection for Concrete Structures
Most types of foundations are made of concrete, a durable and reliable material. Internal penetrating waterproofing is most effective for these structures. It prevents capillary moisture penetration through the concrete structure and waterproofs it.
Prevention of Mold Growth
Due to high air humidity and excessive moisture, mold and mildew develop, which negatively impact human health. Interior waterproofing ensures dryness and prevents their appearance.
Preservation of Property Value
Issues with high humidity and waterproofing can lead to serious damage to the building structure and deterioration of its overall condition. Interior waterproofing works prevent such problems, allowing you to maintain the market value of your property.
Maintenance of Structural Integrity
Interior foundation waterproofing Toronto effectively eliminates any sources of high humidity and water leakage, thus maintaining the structural integrity not only of the foundation but also of the entire house structure, as well as the properties of building materials.
What Are the Costs Associated with Interior Waterproofing in Toronto?
The cost of interior waterproofing in Toronto is by no means a static figure, as prices depend on several factors:
- Scope of work. Each space has its own area; the larger it is, the more specialists and time are required to complete the waterproofing work. Accordingly, the service price will be higher.
- Waterproofing method. Each method involves the use of specific materials. These can be plaster and penetrating compounds, injection resins, profiled membranes, etc.
- Working conditions. To complete the work, it might be necessary to move furniture and demolish and rebuild walls or floors. As a result, prices increase due to additional labor costs.
- Additional services. Some projects require services such as mold removal, installation of drainage systems, etc., which also affect the overall cost.

Indicators That Interior Waterproofing Is Needed
Unpleasant Damp or Moldy Odors
Dampness or mold can be a clear sign of moisture accumulation in the wall. They cause unpleasant odors and pose a health risk, especially for allergy sufferers and people with chronic respiratory diseases. If you smell musty or moldy odors in the basement or other basement areas, it’s a signal that you need to consider interior waterproofing.
Visible Stains Caused by Water
Usually, walls are combined with a strip foundation. Groundwater, coming into contact with the surface of porous structure walls, penetrates inside and becomes a source of wet spots and streaks on walls, floors, or ceilings. Therefore, this is a common problem in basements or basement areas. If you find that you have wet walls, it’s worth considering interior waterproofing.
Wall or Foundation Cracks
Cracks in walls or foundations are one of the reasons for water seepage into the building. This can lead to serious problems: the appearance of mold and mildew, damage to the building structure, corrosion of metal elements, as well as problems with air exchange and air quality. Use interior waterproofing services if you notice cracks and feel dampness in the room.
Accumulated Water or Damp Spots
The accumulation of water inside the basement is a serious issue that requires immediate intervention. Water can accumulate for various reasons: leaks in water or sewer pipes, insufficient drainage, etc. But the most common reason is violations of the technology of external house waterproofing. Do not ignore this issue—order interior waterproofing.
Walls Bowing or Buckling
Bowed basement or basement walls are a bad sign. If not corrected immediately, there is a high probability that the walls will collapse over time. This problem often arises from the hydrostatic pressure of water in the soil surrounding the house foundation. Interior waterproofing can reduce this pressure, so consider performing these works.
Elevated Humidity Levels
The normal humidity level is 40-60%. Elevated humidity can lead to mold, mildew formation, and other problems, such as damage to wooden structures, wall coverings, and ceilings, as well as the appearance of unpleasant odors. If the humidity in your basement or cellar is 70% and above, it indicates the need for interior waterproofing.
Excessive Use of Sump Pump
When the sump pump is working actively, it is a clear sign that water is seeping into the basement. Therefore, if you notice that the device frequently turns on, it may indicate a leak source. In this case, you cannot do without a complex of interior waterproofing services.
Visible Presence of Mold or Mildew
Mold and mildew are not just aesthetic issues but also cause unpleasant odors and surface damage and threaten building integrity. Their presence on walls, ceilings, and other surfaces indicates a problem related to high humidity. It should be addressed immediately to prevent consequences.
Interior Waterproofing Process

Specialists remove all finishing layers down to the base if they exist. They clean off dirt, grease, dust, rust, and other defects.
Repair
If there are cracks or gaps in the walls, ceiling, or floor, they are filled with hydraulic cement.
Installation of waterproofing material
Depending on the waterproofing method, special paints, pastes, films, or delta membranes that can prevent water penetration are used.
