OV DRAIN SERVICE & PLUMBING
Basement Waterproofing in Milton & the GTA
Water marks, damp basement walls or water appearing after rain deserve a closer look. OV Drain Service & Plumbing assesses the source of water entry and the drainage around your basement.
A solution matched to the water problem
Water can enter a basement through different routes. We review where it appears, when it happens and the existing drainage before discussing the work. The condition of the foundation and access around the home help determine the approach.

Interior and exterior options
Interior work may involve opening the edge of the basement floor, installing drainage and membrane, connecting the system and restoring the concrete. Exterior work involves assessing access to the foundation and the drainage around it.
We discuss which approach fits the observed water entry and your property. The proposed scope should identify excavation, connections, access and the surfaces to be restored.
Questions about basement waterproofing
Which is better: interior or exterior waterproofing?
The appropriate approach depends on the source of water, the foundation and available access. An assessment helps compare the practical options for your home.
Do I need a sump pump?
That depends on the drainage system and how collected water will be discharged. We can assess the existing arrangement and discuss pump and backup options.
Will waterproofing address a sewer backup?
A sewer backup needs a plumbing assessment. Backwater valve installation may be one of the measures to consider alongside any drainage work.
What information should I send?
Tell us your city, where the water appears and whether it follows rainfall. Photos of the affected area and any existing sump or drainage system can help us understand the request.
