Basement waterproofing in Brantford

Water can be a powerful force, and not necessarily in a good way. Excessive moisture can weaken the structural integrity of your house, whereas the mold that emerges as a result of it can cause all sorts of respiratory issues to your loved ones.

Many of our clients wonder how water gets into the basement when there are no obvious ways for it to flow in. The answer is fairly simple. The hydrostatic pressure of water in the soil that surrounds your basement causes the moisture to penetrate the walls. If left untreated, it can seriously damage your walls making visible cracks and causing the metal frameworks in your foundation wall to rust faster.

Another thing that raises concerns is mold. It’s an especially serious issue in households where people have allergies or small children. The mold is not only aesthetically unpleasing but also dangerous. The spores that are released by it spread all over the house and cause a strong respiratory response in those who are prone to the corresponding health issues.

So if you have reasons to think that your basement might need waterproofing, don’t hesitate to call A&Y Construction Group. Our specialists will be there to help figure out the cause of the problem and solve it right away.

How to keep your basement dry?

If you have a wet basement, this is probably a #1 question you want to find the answer to. And even if you haven’t faced this problem yet, you might be wondering how to make sure it never happens in your house.

When it comes to waterproofing your basement, it’s important to understand what causes (or might potentially cause) excessive moisture in your place. Sometimes the issue is obvious. When you have a massive crack in the wall or water pools on the floor, that’s one thing. But when, for example, the air in your basement gets very damp during heavy rain, that’s a whole other puzzle.

Therefore, there is no universal piece of advice that could solve all problems. That’s why it’s extremely important to have a qualified contractor involved. They will be able to get to the root of the issue and come up with the most suitable solution.

Our basement waterproofing services

Interior waterproofing

Interior waterproofing is a fast and easy way to fix leaky basement from the inside. This service does not require excavation. Our contractors will identify the points through which water gets inside the building, inject strong sealants in the cracks, and install a proper drainage system.

Exterior waterproofing

Exterior waterproofing is a more complex type of work that requires excavation. It is used to waterproof your basement from the outside and make sure that the water never gets close to a building. Exterior waterproofing is more expensive, but it gives a solid guarantee that you won’t have this problem again.

These guys are great! I contacted them because of a recomendation from a friend. From the time they arrived to the end of the job, they were awesome! Andrew investigated and diagnosed the problem of a broken clay weeping tile, explained the job and what had to be done. They excavated and replaced everything, hooked up a new clean out trap and cleaned up everything to the tee. Its hard to believe they were even there. Our landscaping is still there, minimal mess, these guys really put in the effort.
Great company, and Andrew, thank you again.

The guys installed BWV and changed drain line. They did it very clean and good! They use professional tools and the team is friendly and communicatif! I recommend this team to everyone! Thank you very much guys!!!

Excellent service. Made us a priority to get an inspection and quote -- but were quite forthright in telling us nothing was wrong -- except that we should monitor the area. They could have fleeced us but didn't. Free quote means just that. Thank you for the peace of mind.

We are very pleased with the work A&Y Construction group did for us and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to fix a wet/damp basement. When Andrew initially came over to do an estimate, he explained all of our options and went through the whole process, step-by-step. We felt like we made an educated, confident decision with this project. Once the work started, Andrew and his team of workers were very courteous and were super efficient...we couldn't believe the things they were capable of doing and how quickly they managed to complete everything! Andrew communicated during the whole process, making sure all work got completed as outlined in the contract and discussed if any issues came up. At the end, Andrew came to inspect all of the work and assured us that if anything comes up to let them know. We had to empty a clogged rain barrel that was full right by the house (this wall had a lot of problems, we always had water in the basement when it rained) because it was impossible to move...our basement was bone dry! Now we're waiting for heavy rains to hit, but we're confident our wet basement woes are gone for good! Thanks again for all of your work, A&Y Construction Group!!!!

I needed to replace the drain pipe inside my house. My friend recommended A&Y Construction and it was definitely a great choice. Andrew came to do an estimate and right away I knew that I was dealing with a professional. He explained the whole process to me in a way that made me feel confident in what needed to be done and why it needed to be done. His workers got the job done in 2 days, which I think was amazing considering the amount of work, while keeping the place clean and tidy. I really have no complaints and would definitely recommend A&Y Construction Group for any job. I am planning to do waterproofing in the spring and will definitely call on Andrew again.

My basement was leaking and my friend recommended Andrew. He took his time to explain everything to me and made sure all my questions were answered, which I really liked and appreciate. Every step was explained and I felt confident in what needed to be done. The pricing was also fair considering the amount of work that had to be done. Overall, I am satisfied and don't have any complaints. Definitely will reccomend Andrew to anyone.
