Foundation Waterproofing & Drainage in Saskatoon, SA

Saskatoon's clay soils and variable precipitation create challenging conditions for foundation waterproofing. Spring snowmelt, summer storms, and high groundwater levels can all contribute to basement water problems. Whether you're dealing with minor seepage or major flooding, professional waterproofing is essential to protect your home and family's health.

Common Waterproofing Challenges in Saskatoon

Clay Soil Issues: The extensive clay in Saskatchewan holds onto water and generates hydrostatic pressure against foundation walls, which can result in leaks and put stress on the structure.

Seasonal Water Table Changes: The melting of spring snow and substantial rainfall can cause a significant rise in groundwater levels, outpacing the capacity of insufficient drainage systems.

Aging Infrastructure: Numerous homes in Saskatoon feature original drainage systems that no longer comply with current standards or have suffered deterioration over the years.

Frost Damage: Freeze-thaw cycles can harm exterior waterproofing membranes, creating new routes for water to infiltrate.
