BEST Basement Waterproofing Services

At BEST Plumbing & Drainage Contractors, we have over 50 years of experience in providing high-quality waterproofing services for homes and commercial properties across London, Ontario, and Southwestern Ontario. Our specialized methods and advanced equipment allow us to handle your wet basement issues with minimal disruption, delivering effective repairs at competitive rates. Our goal is simple: ensure you can enjoy a dry, usable basement for years to come.

Our Approach to Basement Waterproofing

The key to a successful waterproofing solution is addressing the issue at its source. While interior waterproofing methods can offer short-term relief, they often fail to protect the exterior of your foundation, leaving it vulnerable to water damage over time. At BEST Plumbing & Drainage Contractors, we focus on stopping water at its entry point—outside your foundation walls. This approach ensures a long-term solution that helps maintain the structural integrity of your home or business.

Sump Pump Installation and Maintenance

If your property’s elevation doesn’t allow for natural drainage, a reliable sump pump is essential for removing water that collects in your basement. BEST Plumbing & Drainage Contractors offers expert advice on selecting the right sump pump for your needs, and we provide worry-free installation. Our team ensures your sump pump system is ready to handle rain, thaw, and power outages.

Sump pumps come in different sizes, typically rated by motor horsepower- 1/4 hp, 1/3 hp, or 1/2 hp. The more important factor is the gallons per hour (GPH) the unit can pump. A 1/2 hp pump, for example, can move between 3,000 and 7,500 gallons per hour, depending on the model. We also offer battery backup sump pumps, ensuring your system runs during power outages. These units can pump between 400 and 3,000 gallons per hour, offering peace of mind when you need it most..

Window Wells and Drainage Solutions

Basement windows are a great way to bring natural light into your space and provide emergency exits, but deteriorating or clogged window wells can lead to water seepage and foundation damage. BEST Plumbing & Drainage Contractors offers hand-excavated exterior window well repair to guarantee proper drainage year-round, preventing leaks and preserving your basement’s integrity.

Foundation Crack Repair

Cracks in your foundation, whether in poured concrete, block, or rubble stone, can be pathways for water to seep into your basement. Even small cracks can cause significant issues over time, compromising your foundation and inviting moisture. While interior crack injection methods are often used, they may not provide a long-term solution as they can allow water to find alternate entry points. At BEST Plumbing & Drainage Contractors, we take a more comprehensive approach to repair foundation cracks, offering reliable and permanent fixes. Our foundation crack repair services come with a 20-year warranty, giving you peace of mind that your foundation will stay dry and secure.

Weeping Tile Systems

Weeping tiles (also known as French drains) are an effective drainage solution for managing water around your foundation. This century-old system helps redirect groundwater away from the foundation, preventing water from entering your basement. At BEST Plumbing & Drainage Contractors, we install both interior and exterior weeping tile systems, tailored to your property’s specific needs. We will assess your situation and recommend the best solution, whether it’s a full exterior drainage system or an interior weeping tile system to relieve pressure and move water away from your home.

French Drain Installation

A French drain is an essential component of many waterproofing strategies, particularly when managing groundwater and surface water around your foundation. By installing a French drain system, BEST Plumbing & Drainage Contractors ensures that water is efficiently channeled away from your property, reducing the risk of water pooling around your foundation and causing potential damage. French drains are particularly effective when traditional drainage systems aren’t feasible due to soil conditions or landscape issues.
