Foundation waterproofing and masonry in Lakeshore
From Belle River to the communities along Lake St. Clair and inland, Lakeshore homes deal with the same clay soils and heavy rains as the rest of the county. We serve Lakeshore homeowners with exterior waterproofing, crack repair and masonry.
Start with Lakeshore's free camera inspection
Lakeshore offers residents a one-time free mini-camera inspection of your sanitary or storm connection if you suspect a problem. Appointments are Tuesdays only, March to October. Call Operations at 519-728-2700. It's a smart first step, because it tells you whether your problem is in the pipes or in the walls. (Repair costs on your own property are your responsibility, per the Municipality.)
How we protect Lakeshore basements
Water that comes through foundation walls and cracks is seepage, and it's fixed from the outside. Here's what we do:
- Exterior waterproofing: we dig to the footing, clean the wall, apply Blueskin membrane and Platon dimple board, then backfill and grade away from the house.
- Drainage: weeping tile replacement, window wells and grading so water moves away from the foundation.
- Crack repair: from interior injection to exterior digs.
Sewer backups through the floor drain are a different problem, handled by a licensed plumber with devices like backwater valves. At a free site visit, we'll tell you honestly whether you likely need waterproofing, a plumber, or both.
