Basement Waterproofing in Portage la Prairie, MB

A wet basement usually comes down to water pressure building up in the soil around and beneath your foundation, especially during spring melt and heavy rain. In Portage la Prairie and the central Plains, clay soils that hold water and a high water table in some areas make this a common problem. Water finds its way in through cracks, wall-floor joints, and gaps around pipes, and left alone it can lead to mold, damaged finishes, and further foundation deterioration.

We start by identifying where and why water is entering, since sealing the wrong spot solves nothing. From there we design a system to manage the water, whether that's interior drainage and a sump system, exterior sealing and drainage, or a combination. We also look at surface drainage and grading, because keeping water away from the foundation in the first place is often part of the fix.
