Why Choose Basement Flood Protection for Your Home?

Basement flood protection is one of the most effective ways to safeguard your property from unexpected water damage caused by heavy rainfall, melting snow, or sewer backups. Flooding can ruin flooring, drywall, furniture, and even compromise your home’s foundation — resulting in costly repairs and long-term structural issues.

Installing professional flood protection systems such as sump pumps, backwater valves, and weeping tiles ensures your basement stays dry, safe, and mold-free. These systems prevent groundwater and sewage from entering your home, offering year-round protection and peace of mind.

At VHP Services, we combine industry expertise, high-quality materials, and precision installation to deliver lasting results. Our team takes the time to evaluate your property’s drainage system and design the best flood prevention plan to meet your home’s specific needs. Whether you’ve experienced flooding before or want to prevent it entirely, we help you secure your basement and protect your investment for the long term.

Benefits of Interior Waterproofing

Protect Your Basement from Water Damage

Interior systems prevent leaks, flooding, and moisture buildup, keeping your basement dry year-round.

Prevent Mold & Mildew Growth

By eliminating damp conditions, interior waterproofing protects your family from health risks like mold spores and poor air quality.

Increase Property Value

A dry, protected basement gives peace of mind to potential buyers and increases your home’s resale value.

Cost-Effective Solution

Interior waterproofing often costs less than exterior excavation while still providing reliable, long-term protection.

Our Interior Waterproofing Process

At VHP Services, we follow a proven multi-step process to ensure your basement stays permanently dry. Each step is handled by licensed technicians using industry-leading equipment and materials.i9

1. Inspection & Assessment

We begin with a complete evaluation of your basement. Our team looks for water stains, cracks, high humidity levels, and signs of mold. Using advanced tools, we identify exactly where water is entering and how severe the problem is.

2. Site Preparation

Before installation, we carefully prepare the work area by moving or protecting household items, clearing flooring if needed, and ensuring a safe, clean workspace. This step prevents unnecessary mess and protects your home.

3. Trench Excavation

A narrow trench is dug along the interior perimeter of the basement floor. This allows us to install a drainage system designed to capture and redirect water before it reaches your living space.

4. Drainage & Weeping Tile Installation

A new interior drainage channel (weeping tile) is installed along the basement’s edge. This system collects groundwater and directs it safely toward a sump pit, preventing pressure from building against your walls.

5. Sump Pit & Pump Installation

A sump pit is installed in a low spot of your basement. We then place a reliable sump pump inside, which automatically pumps collected water out of your home, keeping your basement dry—even during heavy rain.

6. Wall Membrane Installation

A waterproof membrane or vapour barrier is applied to basement walls. This prevents further seepage, channels any wall moisture into the drainage system, and adds an extra layer of protection against future leaks.

7. Backwater Valve & Extra Protection

If required, we install a backwater valve on the main sewer line to prevent sewage from backing up into your basement. Combined with the sump pump, this system provides full flood protection.

8. Final Testing & Cleanup

Once everything is installed, we test the entire system to ensure proper drainage and pump operation. The work area is cleaned thoroughly, and your basement is left safe, dry, and ready for use.

Basement Waterproofing Reviews

Trusted by homeowners across Toronto & the GTA for reliable waterproofing solutions.

Our basement had constant leaks every time it rained. VHP Services installed a sump pump and waterproofed the foundation. Since then, not a single drop of water. Professional, fast, and worth every penny!

I had cracks in my basement walls that were letting in water. VHP Services sealed them and installed a backwater valve. They explained the process clearly, finished on time, and even helped me apply for the city rebate. Highly recommend!

We hired VHP for exterior waterproofing after years of dampness in our basement. The crew dug around the foundation, installed new weeping tiles, and left the site clean. It’s been dry ever since. Amazing job!

Our laundry room would flood during storms. VHP installed a backwater valve and sump pump in just one day. The team was polite, tidy, and now we finally have peace of mind. Excellent service!

Water was seeping through foundation cracks in our basement. VHP repaired the cracks and applied waterproof coating. They walked us through every step and even followed up afterward. Very professional.

We had problems with water pooling near our foundation. VHP installed French drains and window wells. Everything was done efficiently, and the basement feels dry and secure now. Highly recommend this team.

We had water seeping into our basement wall in Ajax. The VHP crew came out, did an exterior waterproofing with membrane and weeping tile, and even patched up the concrete perfectly. Big thanks to Yuri and Vasile for the smooth and professional job.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my basement needs waterproofing?

Signs include water stains, damp walls, musty odours, mold or mildew growth, and visible cracks in your foundation. If you notice water pooling after rain or high humidity in your basement, it’s time to consider waterproofing.

What’s the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?

Interior waterproofing stops water after it enters your basement, using drainage systems, sump pumps, and sealants. Exterior waterproofing prevents water from entering in the first place by sealing the foundation from the outside. Both are effective, but interior waterproofing is often more affordable and less disruptive.

How long does interior waterproofing last?

With proper installation and maintenance, interior waterproofing systems can last 25+ years. Regular checks on sump pumps, drains, and seals help ensure maximum lifespan.

Are there city rebates for sump pump and backwater valve installations?

Yes! Many GTA municipalities, including Toronto, offer rebates that cover part of the cost of sump pump and backwater valve installations as part of flood prevention programs. Ask us for details—we’ll guide you through the rebate process.

Will waterproofing increase my property value?

Yes. A dry, mold-free basement reassures buyers, increases usable living space, and protects your home’s structural integrity. This can significantly raise your property’s resale value.

How much does basement waterproofing cost?

The cost varies depending on the size of your basement, the severity of the water issue, and the solution required. We provide free, no-obligation estimates to give you a clear understanding of your options.
