North York Emergency Waterproofing & Full Basement Restoration

The homeowners in North York faced a stressful water damage situation that required immediate professional intervention.

To properly address the issue from the source, our emergency waterproofing experts initiated a full-scale demolition. We carefully cut down the affected drywall, removed the compromised subfloors, and lifted the wet carpets. By stripping the basement down to its bare, “naked” foundation, we created a safe and clean slate to implement a permanent waterproofing solution.

With the demolition complete, our team proceeded with the core waterproofing phase to ensure the basement would remain bone-dry for years to come.

Our interior waterproofing process included:

• Membrane Installation: Supplying and installing a high-quality black waterproof membrane along the exposed foundation walls (visible in the utility room) to safely channel any incoming wall seepage.
• Sump Pump System: Installing a brand-new, heavy-duty sump pump system. The main unit was strategically placed to be easily accessible from the unfinished storage side, while remaining completely invisible from the main living area.

What makes DGI Waterproofing unique is our comprehensive start-to-finish service. Right after securing the basement against water, our crew transitioned directly into the restoration phase.

Rebuilding the Living Space:
We installed fresh new drywall throughout the living area, applied beautiful new coats of paint, and installed clean white baseboards. Finally, new carpets were laid down, completely restoring the space into a cozy recreational room featuring a fireplace and pool table area.
