Exterior Basement Waterproofing
Water seeping into your basement doesn’t just make a mess. It can result in expensive repairs and long-term structural risks. Over time, that moisture can weaken your foundation and compromise the structural integrity of everything above it. While interior fixes offer some relief, exterior basement waterproofing creates a first line of defence by blocking water before it ever gets inside.

Our Exterior Basement Waterproofing Process
To create a watertight seal around your basement walls, our process begins with careful excavation. Though it may seem extensive, this method ensures we reach the root of the issue and apply solutions that last. Here’s how we approach the job:
1
We start by digging around your foundation and thoroughly inspecting the exterior walls for signs of damage.
2
A durable waterproof membrane is applied to the outside surface to block moisture from seeping in.
3
We install a high-efficiency weeping tile system that captures and redirects water safely away from your home.
4
The drainage infrastructure is upgraded to ensure water can’t pool near your foundation.
5
Our final step is a full inspection, followed by meticulous backfilling to restore your landscaping.
Why Exterior Basement Waterproofing is Important
Exterior basement waterproofing stops moisture before it reaches your foundation, acting as your home’s first barrier against water intrusion. While interior methods like sump pumps and crack sealing are useful for managing moisture already inside, they don’t resolve the root cause, saturated ground pressing against your home.
Without exterior protection, water from melting snow, rain, or rising groundwater can force its way through concrete and masonry, leading to cracks, leaks, and indoor humidity. Proper exterior basement waterproofing helps prevent structural damage, relieves hydrostatic pressure, and keeps your basement dry all year.
Waterproof Membrane Application
At Peel, our process starts by sealing all visible cracks using specialized products designed for foundation repair. Once any flaws are addressed, we coat the wall with a thick, resilient membrane that prevents moisture from penetrating the concrete. This creates a lasting defence against both standing and pressurized groundwater.
Weeping Tile Repair and Installation
We then inspect your home’s existing weeping tile to assess its condition and capacity. If the system is damaged or outdated, we replace it with a modern weeping tile system designed to efficiently carry water away from your home. This helps relieve pressure on the foundation and reduces the chance of leaks developing over time.
Drainage Improvements
Poor grading and inadequate drainage often lead to repeated water issues. Peel’s waterproofing team evaluates the soil slope and water flow around your home and makes adjustments to redirect runoff away from the structure. These improvements keep soil drier, reduce hydrostatic pressure, and help preserve your foundation’s strength.
You deserve a home that stays dry, season after season. Book your exterior waterproofing service with Peel and take the first step toward long-term protection.

FAQs About Exterior Basement Waterproofing
What Are the Signs That My Home Needs Exterior Basement Waterproofing?
If water is starting to affect your home’s foundation, you might notice:
- Damp or musty-smelling basement walls
- Yellowish or brown water stains, or powdery white buildup on concrete
- Patches of mould or mildew in basement corners or along surfaces
- Foundation wall cracks becoming more visible or spreading
- Pools of water forming outside near the foundation—even when neighbours remain dry
What Is the Difference Between Interior and Exterior Basement Waterproofing?
Both interior and exterior waterproofing keep your basement dry, but they serve different purposes:
- Interior waterproofing handles water that’s already made it inside, using pumps and barriers.
- Exterior waterproofing prevents water from entering in the first place, sealing and draining it away before it can reach the foundation.
While exterior solutions are more invasive, they offer superior long-term protection and are better at preventing damage.
How Long Does Exterior Waterproofing Last?
When done professionally with the right materials, exterior basement waterproofing can last 25 years or more. Peel uses only top-tier products and proven installation methods to ensure lasting results. With routine maintenance and proper drainage, your system will keep your home dry for decades.
