Why Basements in Collingwood Get Wet

Collingwood homes face unique challenges. From the heavy clay soil near the Nottawasaga Lighthouse to the high water tables surrounding the harbour, your foundation is under constant hydrostatic pressure.

Whether you own a historic red-brick home in downtown Collingwood or a vacation property near Blue Mountain, the freeze-thaw cycle of our harsh winters can cause concrete to crack and leak. Dryshield provides permanent waterproofing solutions tailored to the Georgian Bay climate.

Our Waterproofing Services in Collingwood We don’t just patch leaks; we solve the root cause.

1. Foundation Crack Injection Best for:  

Poured concrete foundations with vertical cracks. The Fix: We use industrial-grade epoxy and polyurethane injections to seal cracks from the inside out. This flexible seal prevents water from entering during spring thaws.

Exterior Waterproofing Best for:

Older homes or severe leakage. The Fix: We excavate the perimeter, repair the foundation walls, apply a rubberized membrane, and install new weeping tiles to divert water away from your home.

Interior Waterproofing & Sump Pumps Best for:

High water tables and finished basements. The Fix: We install internal drainage systems and heavy-duty sump pumps to manage rising water levels before they damage your floor.

Crawl Space Encapsulation Best for:

Cottages and chalets. The Fix: Seal off damp crawl spaces to prevent mold, rot, and energy loss.

We install internal drainage systems designed for Collingwood’s high water tables. Our solution captures hydrostatic pressure under your floor and routes it away, keeping your basement or chalet recreation room dry during the spring thaw.
