The first type emerges from beneath the basement floor, where water pressure builds up and forces moisture through cracks or gaps called hydro-static pressure.
The second common type occurs when water seeps through the foundation walls, possibly due to foundation cracks, poor drainage or inadequate waterproofing around the house. Recognizing the specific type of leak is crucial, as it determines the appropriate method for effective treatment and prevention.
Interior waterproofing is a superior choice when exterior work may be to difficult or costly.
Not only is it typically about 40% – 50% more cost-effective, but it also avoids the complications associated with excavating along foundation walls & heavy equipment used around your home.
By choosing interior solutions, you can preserve stuff like your deck, walkways, and fencing, all while achieving a reliable and fully waterproofed repair.

The excavation space surrounding your property’s foundation is an important factor when considering exterior vs Interior waterproofing installation. In some cases adequate excavation space is insufficient or there’s a structure or deck that would require removal, then the recommended alternative is to opt for an interior waterproofing system.
For interior waterproofing, a weeping tile is installed and waterproofing membrane is fasten to the walls. This system intercepts water where it collects in the weeping tile & discharges into sump basin. Sump pump expellees water that is collected to the outside of home.
Depending on whether you decide to waterproof on the inside or outside there is other factors to consider like clearing out building materials that are blocking access to the repair area (ex. Drywall, framing etc.) If considering the exterior you will have to factor in the removal and replacement of stuff along the foundation walls that are to be waterproofed (ex. Decks, gardens, walkways, driveways, etc)
Window well drains can easily become clogged and may sometimes be absent altogether. In many cases, the issue may be as simple as removing debris from the drain cap; however, there are instances where the drain may be severely obstructed, preventing effective water transfer to the weeping tile below. This can lead to water intrusion through windows and along your foundation walls.

Water in your basement and foundation leaks can only get worse over time, so its important to have the problem taken care of immediately and we highly recommend a professional waterproofing service. That being said, It’s recommended to waterproof from the outside of the home as this eliminates water from ever coming into direct contact with your foundation but situations won’t always allow for that option. Waterproofing from the interior is a reliable and long term solutions
There are a few factors to consider when choosing which waterproofing repair works best for you.
Waterproofing from the interior eliminates the need for heavy equipment and can be done any time of year during any type of weather and once were finished(with the exception of the wall membrane) it will be hard to tell we were even there. When waterproofing from the exterior you will have a large trench around most of your home and anything within that area has to be removed from the excavation area. This includes decks, patios, section of driveways, sheds, fences etc.
Cost – Interior waterproofing is typically cheaper as the scope of work is less then waterproofing from the exterior. Every home requires a unique waterproofing system, some easier than other ones. Contractors like A1 Waterproofing that specialize in waterproofing will have the answers to your questions and a plan that works for your home and budget.
Difficult/dangerous Excavation – It is not uncommon to have underground gas, hydro, telecom and other buried services run along your home. It is still possible but it would require more time and resources to hand dig the portion with hidden underground services. No machine digging within 1 meter of underground services and that effects the overall cost of the project.
We want to do everything that we can to ensure the safety and protection of our home. Thats why its important to hire the right contractor that can verse you on the proper solutions that meet your unique waterproofing issue.
