Exterior basement waterproofing is the best and most recommended for Toronto homeowners. Waterproofing the basement from the outside will protect the interior from water penetration and exterior foundation from damages and deterioration.
In most cases yes, but after the water damage claim the homeowner must have the basement professionally waterproofed and have proof for the insurance company. It is always a good idea to call your insurance company and confirm the coverage terms.
If you have a finished basement, then it’s a must. Basement waterproofing will protect the interior from water damage, moisture and mold. In all cases, exterior basement waterproofing protects the foundation from deterioration.
Professionally installed basement waterproofing lasts at least 25 years. In most cases it works for the lifetime of the foundation. But it always depends on the waterproofing method, material quality and geological conditions.
