Basement waterproofing in Oakville.
Clay-rich till, a high water table in parts of the north and creeks running down to the lake. We find where water gets into your Oakville basement and stop it, backed by the No Leak Guarantee.
Clay that holds water.
Studies for north Oakville found the water table just below the surface through much of the area along Bronte Road, in a silt to clayey-silt till that water hardly drains through. Water that can't get away sits against the foundation, and that's when cracks start leaking and window wells fill.
Bronte, Fourteen Mile and Sixteen Mile creeks, along with a string of smaller ones, cross Oakville on their way to Lake Ontario, and the Town's stormwater planning lists the 2017 rainstorm and the high lake levels of 2017 and 2019 among the climate impacts Oakville has already felt. Older homes in neighbourhoods like College Park and Old Oakville are the most likely to have ageing weeping tile and block or stone walls that let water through.
Some properties are on Oakville's Foundation Drainage Collection system, and there the Town requires a permit for sump pump and weeping tile work. We check which system your street is on before we quote.
