At a Glance: What We Fix (and How)
Best for:
Water at the floor-to-wall joint (cove joint seepage)
Leaking foundation cracks (vertical or horizontal)
Damp basement walls, efflorescence (white chalky staining), musty smells
Recurring leaks after storms or spring melt
Basement moisture that keeps coming back even with a dehumidifier
Most common solutions:
Interior drainage + sump pump to relieve hydrostatic pressure
Exterior waterproofing to stop water before it reaches the foundation wall
Crack injection (polyurethane for active leaks, epoxy for structural repairs when suitable)
Crawl space sealing/encapsulation to control below-grade humidity

Why Hamilton Basements Leak
Hamilton homes often experience strong water loads during heavy rain and spring melt. When soil around the foundation becomes saturated, hydrostatic pressure pushes water toward any available opening—cracks, porous concrete, window wells, or the cove joint where the wall meets the floor.
Common local contributors include:
Older drainage systems
(weeping tile) that can clog or fail over time
Freeze–thaw cycles
that expand small cracks and create new leak paths
Poor surface drainage
(grading, downspouts, and pooling near the foundation)
High moisture below grade
that increases humidity, mould risk, and air-quality issues
A wet basement usually isn’t “just a one-time leak”—it’s a sign the foundation drainage or sealing system needs a real fix.
The Right Waterproofing Solution for Your Hamilton Home
No two basements leak the same way. The correct repair depends on where water is entering, how severe the pressure is, and whether you need water management or full outside protection.
Interior Basement Waterproofing (Internal Weeping Tile / Interior Drainage)
Choose interior waterproofing when:
Water comes in at the cove joint or through the floor area
Exterior access is limited (tight lot lines, finished landscaping, hardscaping)
You want a dependable system that manages groundwater and keeps a finished basement protected
Interior systems are designed to relieve pressure and redirect water to a sump pump instead of letting it spread across your floor.
Exterior Basement Waterproofing (Outside Excavation + Membrane)
Choose exterior waterproofing when:
You want to stop water before it reaches the foundation wall
You need full outside sealing due to persistent wall seepage or repeated water intrusion
The best long-term result requires exterior repairs, membrane protection, and restored drainage
Exterior waterproofing is the most direct method to block water at the source.
Foundation Crack Repair and Crack Injection
Choose crack repair when:
The leak is entering through a specific crack (often vertical)
You want a targeted repair without major excavation (when appropriate)
Crack injection seals the full depth of the crack to stop water entry and help prevent that crack from leaking again.
Sump Pump Installation (and Upgrades)
A sump pump is essential when:
Groundwater rises quickly during storms or spring melt
You need reliable water removal to prevent pressure buildup
You want added protection for finished basements and valuable storage areas
A properly installed sump system is one of the best defenses against basement flooding.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Encapsulation helps when:
A crawl space is damp, musty, or contributing to humidity and odours
You want to reduce mould risk, improve comfort, and protect structural components
You’re dealing with moisture below grade beyond the basement area
Sealing the crawl space helps control humidity and blocks ground moisture from entering your home.

Hamilton Basement Waterproofing FAQ
What’s the best way to waterproof a basement in Hamilton?
The best approach depends on where water is entering. Interior drainage is ideal for managing water at the cove joint or under the slab, while exterior waterproofing stops water before it reaches the foundation wall. A proper inspection determines the most effective permanent fix.
Is interior waterproofing “as good” as exterior waterproofing?
Interior waterproofing is highly effective when the problem is hydrostatic pressure or water at the floor-to-wall joint, and when exterior excavation isn’t practical. Exterior waterproofing is the strongest prevention method when you want water blocked outside the foundation completely.
Does crack injection permanently stop a foundation crack leak?
For a leaking crack, professional crack injection is designed to be a long-term solution for that crack. If the foundation also has drainage failure or broader pressure issues, a full waterproofing system may be recommended to prevent future leaks in other areas.
What are the signs I need basement waterproofing?
Common signs include musty odours, damp walls, mould, efflorescence, peeling paint, water stains, visible foundation cracks, and puddles after rainfall.
How fast can you fix a wet basement?
Many solutions can be completed in days, depending on the scope and access. Your inspection will confirm the best method and expected timeline.

Hamilton Basement Waterproofing
Basement Waterproofing Hamilton property owners rely on starts with stopping water at the source and protecting the foundation long-term. Hamilton homes often deal with groundwater pressure, shifting soil, and older drainage systems that can lead to damp basements, musty air, and recurring seepage. Dryshield delivers permanent Basement Waterproofing solutions across Hamilton using the right mix of Internal Waterproofing and External Waterproofing depending on where water is entering and how severe the pressure is.
If water is already coming in, our Basement Leak Repair and Wet Basement Repair services address active intrusion quickly and prevent it from returning. Many leaks begin through cracks, which is why we provide Crack Injection alongside Foundation Crack Repair, Basement Crack Repair, and Concrete Crack Repair to seal leaking cracks, strengthen weak points, and restore a dry basement environment.
Drainage performance is just as important as sealing. Dryshield installs and repairs systems that move groundwater away from your foundation, including Weeping Tile Repair / Replacement to restore footing drainage and Sump Pump Installation to remove water before it builds pressure around your home. For full structural protection, we also offer Waterproof Foundation systems designed to keep the entire foundation envelope dry year-round. And if your property has moisture issues below grade beyond the basement, Crawl Space Encapsulation helps control humidity and block ground moisture from affecting your home.
With a complete set of waterproofing, drainage, and crack-repair services, Dryshield keeps Hamilton basements dry, healthy, and protected for the long term.
