Waterproofing

Essential protective treatments that prevent water infiltration into masonry while allowing the building to breathe naturally. Critical for Ontario's wet climate and freeze-thaw conditions, proper waterproofing extends masonry life by 40-50 years. Professional waterproofing includes breathable sealers that repel water but allow vapor transmission, preventing trapped moisture damage. Signs you need waterproofing include efflorescence, interior dampness, or previous water damage. Quality waterproofing pays for itself by preventing expensive structural repairs, mold issues, and energy loss from water-damaged insulation.
