Basement Waterproofing in Halifax & Nova Scotia

Every basement is different. The cost depends on where the water is coming from, whether cracks need to be repaired, whether interior drain tile is required, whether floor cracks or floor drains are involved, and whether a sump pump system is needed. Aquatight provides free, no-pressure estimates with a written recommendation and clear pricing.

In many cases, yes. Aquatight completes most foundation crack repairs from inside the basement when the crack is accessible and the repair method is appropriate. Polyurethane foam injection or epoxy injection may be used depending on the crack, leak, and repair needs.

Polyurethane foam injection is commonly used to stop water from entering through leaking cracks. Epoxy injection can provide structural reinforcement as well as waterproofing and is typically the higher-end crack injection option. Aquatight will recommend the appropriate method after inspecting the crack.

It depends on where the water is coming from, the condition of the foundation, and whether exterior excavation is practical. Interior waterproofing can manage water from inside the basement with drain tile, sump pumps, and crack repair. Exterior waterproofing helps stop water before it reaches the foundation wall.

An interior drain tile system collects water from inside the basement perimeter and directs it to a sump pump or drainage point. It can be used to manage water entering at the floor/wall joint, basement perimeter, or through hydrostatic pressure beneath the floor.

Yes. Water coming up through the basement floor may be caused by hydrostatic pressure beneath the slab. Aquatight can address this with an interior drain tile system and may repair basement floor cracks with epoxy when appropriate.

Yes. Aquatight can repair or install basement floor drains. If the issue is related to a plumbing backup, sewer issue, city drainage problem, or backflow valve, Aquatight may recommend contacting a plumber or the city.

Not always. A sump pump helps collect and move water away from the basement, but it may not fix leaking foundation cracks, wall seepage, floor cracks, or drainage problems by itself. Aquatight will inspect the full issue and recommend the right combination of solutions.

Yes. Regular maintenance is recommended. Sand, dirt, and debris can settle at the bottom of the sump basin or crock. At least once a year, the lid should be removed, the basin should be vacuumed, and the pump should be inspected to confirm everything is functioning properly.

Often, yes. Aquatight installs drainage systems in finished and unfinished basements. The right solution depends on the basement layout, where water is entering, and how much finished material needs to be protected or accessed.
