Town of Caledon · Peel Region
We find where the water gets into your basement and fix that point: interior and exterior waterproofing, crack injection, sump pumps, weeping tile and backwater valves, for farmhouses, village houses and subdivisions across Caledon.
Services
Each deals with a different way water enters a house. Most houses need one or two.
A drain beside the footing, run to a sump pump. Installed from inside, any month.
Read more about interior waterproofing
The wall dug out to the footing, sealed with a membrane, and given a new weeping tile.
Read more about exterior waterproofing
Polyurethane injected through the full thickness of a poured wall, in hours, from inside.
Read more about foundation crack repair
A pit sized for your house, a pump on a solid base, a check valve, and a backup for outages.
Read more about sump pumps and battery backup
A new footing drain where the old one has silted or collapsed, and a drain for every window well.
Read more about weeping tile and window wells
A one-way valve on the sanitary line for houses on Peel sewers. Peel pays back 60%, up to $1,500.
Read more about backwater valvesWhich wall do you have?
The wall type decides how water gets in and which repair works. Pick yours.
Inside or outside
Both keep the basement dry. They work from opposite sides of the wall.
A strip of floor is cut along the wall, perforated pipe goes in clear stone beside the footing, a membrane on the wall feeds seepage into it, and the pipe runs to a sump pump.
The wall is excavated to the footing, repaired, coated with a membrane and drainage board, and given a new weeping tile in clear stone before backfilling.
Warning signs
Any one of these is a reason to have the wall looked at.
The Caledon year
Four moments a year account for most of the calls.
Meltwater sits on frozen ground and runs sideways to the foundation. Ice in downspouts sends roof water straight to the wall.
The water table peaks. Clay in south Caledon pushes water to the floor-wall joint; escarpment gravel sends it up through the slab.
A downpour overwhelms eavestroughs and window wells, and the sewers in Bolton and Caledon East back up into basements.
Leaves block drains and the sump discharge. A wind storm cuts the power, and a pump with no backup stops.
How it works
Tell us what you see, when and where. Water coming in now? Say so; the line is answered day and night.
Walls, floor edge, cracks, sump pit and windows inside; grading, downspouts, window wells, well and septic outside.
Which walls, which method, what is removed and put back, how long, and the price. If the fix is a downspout extension, it says that.
Floors and paths protected, the area sealed off, and every drain, pump and valve run with water before the crew leaves.
On the job
Trenching, clear stone, concrete, pipe and the finished result.
Where we work
From the Caledon Village four corners we cover the whole Town: the Hurontario villages, Caledon East and the moraine hamlets, and the subdivisions of Bolton and Mayfield West. Caledon climbs from 221 m to 485 m, escarpment in the west and moraine in the east, so the ground under a house changes from one road to the next.
Peel Region rebate
For houses in Bolton, Caledon East, Mayfield West and other sewered areas, Peel reimburses 60% of a sanitary backwater valve up to $1,500. A Town of Caledon building permit and an inspection are part of it, and we handle both.
How the rebate worksQuestions
It depends on the metres of wall treated, the depth to the footing, whether a machine can reach the wall, and what has to be moved: a deck, interlock, a finished wall, a septic bed or a well line. We look first, then quote in writing.
Yes. The well, the pump line, the tank and the leaching bed are located before any trench is planned, and the trench is routed around them. A sump discharge is never pointed at a septic bed or a well head.
Exterior stops water before it reaches the wall: right for a wall damp over its whole height, for block or stone, and for a failed weeping tile. Interior collects water at the footing and pumps it out: right for the floor-wall joint and for walls that cannot be reached from outside.
On Peel sewers, the Region reimburses 60% of a sanitary backwater valve, up to $1,500, with a Town of Caledon permit and inspection. Membranes, drains and crack repair are not covered. See the backwater valve page.
Interior drainage, crack injection, sump pumps and backwater valves are indoor work and go ahead all year. Exterior excavation waits for the ground to thaw: frost reaches 1.2 m here.
