In the past three days, I kept on having wet spots on my walls and floors. We called DGI, and the service man arrived and immediately knew what’s going on. We had to waterproof the corner of the house, and they got it done within 4 working days. Excellent service, extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. It was a pleasure dealing with them.
Shout out to everyone. If you need anything to do with waterproofing or water damage restoration these are your guys!!

After 2 months of waiting to fix our leak in the basement in Newmarket, we called DGI and Daniel came out. he did a through inspection asked about insurance and was able to start the job the very next day. it took them 3 days to finish the job including the installation of the sump pump. i would highly recommend DGI for all your water damage restoration needs

Stephanie Melendez / Google Review

We came back from vacation to a flooded basement, we panicked and called the first company that came up on google. We are lucky that we fell upon DGI. Not only that they came out for an emergency site visit that evening they vacuumed the water that same night and started the project the next morning. Very pleasant staff i would recommend to anyone!

Exterior Waterproofing FAQs

How is exterior waterproofing done?

Exterior waterproofing is a comprehensive process that involves several key steps to ensure your home remains protected against water intrusion. First, our experts conduct a thorough assessment of your property, identifying vulnerable areas such as foundation cracks or areas prone to water seepage. Next, we excavate around the foundation to create space for waterproofing materials. We then apply a high-quality waterproof membrane, followed by improving soil grading and drainage systems to channel water away from your home effectively. Finally, we backfill the excavated area, ensuring proper compaction to prevent future water pooling.

What is the average cost for exterior waterproofing in Toronto?

How long does exterior waterproofing last?

The longevity of exterior waterproofing largely depends on the quality of materials used, the effectiveness of the installation, and environmental factors. Generally, a professionally installed exterior waterproofing system can last up to 25 years or more, providing long-term protection against water damage and preserving the structural integrity of your home.

Can I do exterior waterproofing by myself, or should I hire a professional?

While DIY waterproofing kits are available, we highly recommend hiring a professional for exterior waterproofing due to the complexity and importance of the process. Certified professionals have the expertise, access to high-quality materials, and the necessary equipment to ensure effective and lasting waterproofing. Attempting to do it yourself may lead to subpar results and potential future issues.
