Halton • In-house crews
A wet basement in Aldershot, Burlington is not a “humidity issue.” It is clay, grade, and failed tile. We stop water at the wall or manage it with a system that actually drains.
Basement Waterproofing — no obligation
If you own a home in Aldershot, Burlington, you already know the soil story even if nobody named it: Halton clay that locks moisture against foundations, especially in Millcroft and Mountainside. 1960s–80s ranchers, lakeshore lots, and 1990s–2000s subdivisions in Alton, Tyandaga, and Millcroft. When we waterproof basements here, we design for that — not a generic “Southern Ontario” brochure.
Aldershot’s older housing stock still has original clay tile. When it collapses, the basement tells you immediately.
We still treat this as a Burlington job: same crews, same warranty, but we show up already knowing how Aldershot lots drain (or don’t).
Free inspection. Photos. A number. No hard close.
Original clay or corrugated pipe silts in, crushes, and stops draining. Water then sits against the footing until it finds a joint. In Aldershot, Burlington, that plays out against Halton clay that locks moisture against foundations, especially in Millcroft and Mountainside.
Builder damp-proofing is a thin coating, not waterproofing. It chalks off. We install elastomeric membranes that move with the wall. In Aldershot, Burlington, that plays out against Halton clay that locks moisture against foundations, especially in Millcroft and Mountainside.
Soil that slopes toward the house, short downspouts, and window wells without drains will beat any interior paint. In Aldershot, Burlington, that plays out against Halton clay that locks moisture against foundations, especially in Millcroft and Mountainside.
We look for efflorescence, rust lines, wet carpet tack strips, and exterior grade — not just the puddle you see today.
Exterior excavation stops water before it enters. Interior drainage manages it when excavation is impractical. We explain both with numbers.
Membrane and new tile outside, or interior trench, weeping tile, and sump inside. Always with filtration stone and proper discharge.
If a sump is part of the design, we spec battery backup. Storms knock power out here. Pumps without backup are decoration.
Full systems carry a transferable written warranty. That paperwork matters at resale.

Exterior stops water before it enters but needs excavation. Interior is faster and protects finished spaces when you cannot dig. Many Aldershot, Burlington homes need a hybrid.
A proper membrane and tile system is designed around the life of the house. Paint-on “waterproofing” is not a system.
A documented dry basement sells. A musty one dies in inspection. Buyers and inspectors in Ontario look for this.
Exterior disturbs landscaping along the wall. Interior requires a perimeter trench in the slab. We contain dust and restore what we open.
A sealed, drained basement is dramatically drier. A small dehumidifier can still help in shoulder seasons. It should not be your only defence.
