Fixing a Leaky Basement, Wet Basement 

Residents of the Toronto / GTA region often find themselves faced with the problem of fixing a leaky basement. If this is your situation, you should do some basic research before you attempt the project. The first step in fixing a leaky basement is identifying the source of the problem.

If you are incredibly fortunate, you may find that the problem is a leaking water pipe in the basement – in that case, fixing a leaky basement means just fixing a pipe – but most homeowners are not so fortunate. Chances are that you will find the water coming in through a crack, a hole, or actually seeping directly through the concrete. Any such problems must be traced beyond the point of entry. In order for your attempt at fixing a leaky basement to actually succeed, you must look outside of the basement.

Almost without exception, basement leaks are caused by water accumulating against the walls and foundation of your house. To succeed in fixing a leaky basement, you must eliminate the accumulated water. On rare occasions, this may be accomplished by reshaping the surface around your home. It’s much more likely, though that you will need to excavate drainage trenches and install drainage pipes, stone drainage fields, or both.
