Commercial Waterproofing & Foundations Repairs
A wet basement is caused by excess water pressure (caused by heavy rain or melting snow) that is pushed through cracks in your home’s foundation. This pressure can cause major structural damage to the foundation of your home and will also contribute to other moisture-related problems, such as mold and decay. Whether you use your basement for additional living space, storage, or don’t use it at all, if you have a chronic wet basement, leakage or some degree of flooding, you need to address the problem because it will not go away on its own.
Chronic wet basements or water leak problems can reduce the value of your home and many realtors advise their customers to fix their basement before putting their home on the market. Long-term water exposure in your basement can lead to foundation erosion, mold and water-borne bacteria to grow in your basement.

We start by determining the source of the moisture and then recommending an Exterior or Interior method depending on the severity of the leak.

Commercial Waterproofing
The exterior basement waterproofing method involves excavating and exposing the foundation wall. Next, we clean and inspect the exterior wall for any cracks. Once excavated, the walls are sealed with waterproofing membrane and new drainage (weeping tiles) are placed at the side of the footing. Last but not least, we check the connection of the weeping tile to the drain or sump to make sure it is working correctly.
Commercial Foundations
The interior basement waterproofing method is ideal for homeowners who are concerned about disturbing the outside appearance of their home, as it ensures that landscaping is not harmed in the process. With this method, wall vapor barriers/retarders and drip moldings are installed in order to collect water coming from wall cracks and other foundation wall defects. A drain then directs the water to a sump pump and finally the sump pump directs the water out of the basement.
Underpinning
If you’re looking to increase the value of your home, or turn your basement into a valuable work or living space, basement lowering is the perfect way to do so. Nusite has years of experience in underpinning in Toronto and in some cases, you can still live in the house while construction is happening.
Restoration Projects
Over time, it is common for smaller problems to develop in the foundation of your home. Cracks or rod holes will lead to leaks and ultimately cause a wet and moldy basement. It is best to repair any cracks as quickly as possible so they don’t expand, creating a bigger and more expensive problem.
