Exterior Waterproofing and Drainage System
When a basement begins to leak, it’s a sign the drainage system around your home is no longer properly working. When the weeping tile (the drainage pipe around your home) becomes clogged or displaced, water can no longer be properly drained away from the footings and foundation walls which allows hydrostatic pressure to build up, forcing water to penetrate the foundation walls and under the base of the footings.
Our exterior waterproofing and drainage system service includes:
- Earth is excavated down to footings along foundation walls by machine, hand or both.
- Walls are cleaned of dirt and debris and a rubberized waterproofing sealant is applied.
- High density polyethylene waterproofing membrane is then fastened to walls from the footing up to grade.
- Existing weeping tile is removed and replaced with new perforated and filtered weeping tile.
- The weeping tile is covered in drainage stone and excavated area is backfilled.

Debbie Dunit, Saint Catharines
PERFECT JOB<br> Talked to Chris after getting other estimates. He explained everything about the repair to stop our leak in the basement, He was very pleasant and honest - the other companies were not. He arrived on time and the repair was done in a timely manner with no problem that they couldn't handle. Basement was left clean and we were informed about what to do to maintain the repair which was basically looking after the pump - the rest of the repair needed no other maintenance. Chris and his helper were friendly, informative and excellent at the job they were doing. I would highly recommend PCS for any basement work

I contacted CHRIS from PCS waterproofing when it was discovered that I had leaks in my basement plus water seepage from outside my water wells . He immediately came in and identified the issue,informed me of his plan ,supported me throughout the entire ordeal and dilengently completed the job. After the work was finished he reviewed every aspect of the process with pictures and thorough explanations [ as I had to leave on an unexpected trip before completion] . He also gave me advise on another water issue on our property ,which no one else was able to clarify. I would HIGHLY recommend CHRIS and let me assure you that you are in excellent capable hands. - a very professional ,honest and hardworking individual which is difficult to find these days
