BASEMENT WATERPROOFING

When Should You Waterproof Your Basement in Ottawa?

For best results, we recommend inside basement waterproofing during dry periods such as spring, summer, and early fall. Exterior basement waterproofing is best suited during summer and the warmer months to properly protect your home from water damage and before heavy snow or rainfall.

This allows our team to work on any excavations and allows materials to cure properly.
