Basement waterproofing in Burlington.
Burlington knows basement flooding. We find where water gets into yours and stop it, from leaking cracks to failed weeping tile, backed by the No Leak Guarantee.
Two storms the city remembers.
On August 4, 2014, a record 191 mm of rain fell on Burlington in about eight hours, and more than 3,000 homes flooded. Ten years later, on July 15 and 16, 2024, about 75 mm fell in just over a day, and by July 26, 1,288 homes had reported flooding to Halton, with wards 3, 4 and 5 hit hardest.
Every storm like that shows the same weak points. In older homes we find block walls letting water through, ageing weeping tile and, in some cases, downspouts or foundation drains still tied into the sewer. In newer homes it's more often cracks, window wells and an undersized sump.
Burlington drops from the escarpment to the lake, with Appleby, Tuck, Rambo and other urban creeks carrying storm water down through the neighbourhoods. When the ground is soaked, water finds every crack, window well and floor-wall joint. We find the one it's using and fix that, not the whole basement.
Basement problems we fix most in Burlington
- Water at the floor-wall joint after heavy rain
- Cracks that leak in every storm
- Sump pumps that failed or fell behind in 2014 or 2024
- Window wells that fill and leak at the sill
- Weeping tile still connected to the sewer
- Musty basements in older block-wall homes
