Reviews From Our Happy Toronto Customers

 5/5

I contacted MT Drains & Plumbing, they called me back immediately and gave me an estimated arrival time.They were extremely prompt. That really counts when you have a leak! Pavel and Eddie are very polite and tidy. They identified and fixed the source of the leak professionally.

These guys saved our life by showing up in time and replaced a leaky pipe easily! After that, we scheduled an appointment for the next day to check everything out, so the leaking problem won't bother us again because of the extremely cold temperatures. We had great communication and we received all the answers that we needed for future prevention of the problem. Well done job! I would say, above and beyond.

My wife and I purchased an older home in East York with the understanding that we were going to need to do a fair bit of work to modernize the infrastructure. Plumbing being a major focus. I contracted MT to: replace cast iron plumbing stacks (there were two in my home), plumb our new kitchen main floor, and also a basement kitchen that we have, as well as some plumbing for two new bathrooms. We also decided to replace the clay sewers in the home which were about 75 years old and also install a backflow valve. Eddy, Pavel and their team of plumbers did a great job.

Had a great experience with MT Drains & Plumbing, I recommend everybody to contact Pavel for any plumbing project question. We had a water heater and softener installed at our home and price and service were top notch!

Thank you MT drains for being reliable, always on time and trying to accommodate my variable schedule. I am very satisfied with the price and service I was provided.

Interior vs. Exterior Waterproofing

If your basement is often wet, it can lead to complications, such as persistent strongodours and rampant mould growth. Leave it long enough, and it could also damage floors, walls, pillars, and ceilings.

The wetness could be due to water leaking into the basement from outside from wall seepage or poorly installed basement windows. It could also be internal from a damaged pipe or floor seepage from hydrostatic pressure. Depending on the cause, we can provide a lasting solution through external or interior waterproofing.

Exterior waterproofing involves waterproofing and sealing the foundation of your home to cover cracks that can let in moisture. Interior waterproofing usually involves concrete coating or installing a drain along the base of your walls. The drain will catch water seepage and safely deposit it outside your basement.

Sump Pump Installation & Repair

Sump pump installation is an important part of basement waterproofing, especially if your home’s location is prone to basement flooding.

We install sump pumps at the lowest point of your house, where water leaks or floodwater would accumulate. The pump will have an automatic flotation switch that powers on as soon as the water reaches a specific level.

Once on, the pump will drain the accumulated water out of your basement and deposit it outside. It’s an excellent preventative measure for keeping your basement safe and dry, and we can supply and install an option that’s a perfect fit for your home.

We also provide convenient and cost-effective sump pump maintenance and repair services, keeping your installation working perfectly.

Window Well Services

When properly done, a window well installation will stop floodwater from entering your basement from outside. By taking advantage of our expertise, you can get a window well installation that effectively stops water from leaking through ground-level basement windows, especially after heavy downpours.

Aside from stopping basement window water leaks, our basement window well installations also prevent water damage to basement walls, window frames, wall studs, and drywall.

Stop Water Pooling with a French Drain

Installing a French drain is an effective interior waterproofing tactic. It involves digging a trench in the basement floor and laying a perforated pipe in it, covered with gravel or rocks.

Instead of water accumulating on your basement floor, it’ll drain into the perforated pipes. The pipes then carry the water to a septic tank or other drain area.

Contact us to arrange for a professionally installed French drain that prevents water from pooling in your basement and causing water damage. We can also install French drains outside your basement to effectively drain your yard and direct rainwater exactly where you want it to go.

Types of Basement Leaks

There are various causes for a basement leak in Toronto. Popular culprits are wall cracks, hydrostatic pressure, cove joints, and floor cracks.

Wall cracks can be caused by the house settling or shrinking, cement drying, and seismic activity. The presence of cracks can create entry points for water in the soil surrounding the basement.
Hydrostatic pressure is caused by water underneath your basement floor or wall pushing against the barrier until it breaks into your basement. We install a French drain to control such seepage by draining the water to a sump pump or outlet.
Cove joints are where the walls of your basement meet the floor. The point isn’t perfectly sealed, so water can leak into the basement from there. A French drain or other types of interior waterproofing are effective for controlling such basement leaks.
Floor cracks can force water from the ground into your basement. Such leaks can be caused by hydrostatic pressure or a burst pipe under the foundation.

The right approach to fixing a basement leak will depend on the cause. By carefully assessing your basement leak, we can identify the best solution and stop it from reoccurring.

What Is Basement Foundation Repair?

Oftentimes, the external ground around your home and the soil under the house will naturally erode over the years. This is caused by water saturation from weather conditions or other external sources of water and it will eat away at the home’s foundation causing major structural damage over time. Putting up a waterproofing barrier will ensure this erosion is brought to a halt.

What Should I Do If My Basement Window Leaks?

Basement windows can serve as a much-needed light source in a basement but also as a means by which water can seeps into your basement. Basement windows are the typical entry point for water to get into your basement. Sealing them may not be enough, so an extra step to take is installing a Window Well to make sure that any water that is getting in will have a proper drainage channel to get out.

internally waterproofing your home not only protects your foundation, but it also makes your basement more comfortable to be in as it prevents excess moisture and humidity caused by groundwater penetrating your foundation. We’re a local company that can cater to all of your internal waterproofing requests with impressive skill and enthusiasm.

We respond to the waterproofing needs of commercial and residential customers. We can help you with everything from weeping tile installation to French drain installation and beyond. We can even assist you with basement crack repair and window well installation work.

How Much Does Basement Waterproofing Cost Per Square Foot?

Exterior basement waterproofing in the greater Toronto area starts at $100 per liner square foot. Contact our professional team today for a free obligation consutation and on-site estimate.

How Does Basement Waterproofing Work?

Internal waterproofing service is a pretty simple concept. First and foremost, it entails digging a trench from within your basement. This trench should run directly alongside the problematic space. Once the trench has been dug, drainage system insertion starts.

The purpose of this system is to guide water accumulation over to ways out of the home. Concrete is then poured in order to close the trench. This provides property owners with the promise of basements that are perfectly dry and comfortable.

Can A Sealant Fix My Basement Leak Issue?

Plumbers rely on internal sealants as a means of stopping additional water escape, preventing potential water damage. These kinds of sealants are not necessarily effective in stopping leaks for good. They can be useful for the sealing of conspicuous cracks that are present on floors, ceilings and walls.

Note that weeping tiles and French drains are both typical sights in the internal waterproofing world.

Why Is Internally Waterproofing Your Home A Good Idea?

Internal basement waterproofing in Vaughan can be beneficial for many households. It doesn’t negatively influence outdoor surroundings in any manner, and it safeguards basements of all kinds from the hazards of the outdoors, too. It minimizes hydrostatic pressure while being remarkably budget-friendly.

What is The Difference Between Internal & External Waterproofing?

The difference between internal and external waterproofing is that internal waterproofing seeks to waterproof your basement walls from the inside and includes the installation of a internal drainage system to redirect water away from your homes foundation. This also includes the installation of sump pumps which seek to divert water that has made it into your basement away to prevent water damage and mitigate risk of mold forming.

External waterproofing on the other hand brings the waterproofing process to the outside of your foundation and is considered to be the best solution in-regards to protecting your basement foundation, but in certain applications is not possible, due to a list of potential factors. Our waterproofing contractors can advise you on the best course of action to stop your basement walls from leaking.

What Can Cause a Wet Carpet in the Basement?

There are several potential causes of a wet carpet in a basement in Toronto. Some of the most common include:

Leaky pipes: A leak in the plumbing system can cause water to seep into the basement and cause a wet carpet.
Flooding: Heavy rain or snowfall can cause water to seep into the basement through cracks in the foundation or through window wells.
High humidity: High humidity levels in the basement can lead to condensation on surfaces, which can cause a wet carpet.
Clogged or malfunctioning sump pump: A sump pump is used to remove water that has accumulated in the basement. If it is clogged or not working properly, it can cause water to buildup and create a wet carpet.
Improperly installed or maintained drainage: Improperly installed or maintained drainage systems can cause water to collect around the foundation and seep into the basement, creating a wet carpet.
Improperly installed or maintained window wells.

It is important to identify the cause of the wet carpet and take appropriate action to fix the problem. It’s better to seek professional help in order to find out the source and prevent any further damage.
