How to avoid needing basement waterproofing before Toronto’s spring thaw

The spring days are trickling in and Toronto’s starting to warm up — but with the change in seasons comes the annual big thaw.

Yup, it’s time to say goodbye to all the snow and slush and prep for surging lakes and streams. Unfortunately, the spring thaw also gives way to the very unfortunate scenario of leaking basements. 

So what’s a Toronto resident to do to protect their home’s foundation? Cue DryShield Basement Waterproofing and their handy tips and tricks to keep your Toronto basement waterproofed and dry. Here are three ways to prevent a basement leak repair this season.

Clear downspouts and gutters

Clogged downspouts and gutters are the perfect ingredients for a basement leak. DryShield Waterproofing suggests getting down and dirty to clean out those pipes from debris — while directing the water away from your foundation. 

Whether you use a garden hose, a wet/dry vacuum, or just your hands, making sure these laneways are free-flowing can help you save your basement (and your ankles) from a wet mess.

Check out your sump pump

Sump pumps are one of the most important pieces of equipment that can prevent basement leaks and water damage. When the snowmelt increases as the temps get warmer, there’s also a chance heavy spring rain can wreak havoc on your home’s basement. 

dryshieldDryShield experts say that double-checking your sump pump discharge lines are free from blocks or clogs can greatly improve your chances of sticking out the thaw and bypassing basement leaks. 

Waterproofing for the future

You can never be too prepared for the unexpected horror of a basement leak, and that’s why DryShield is here for all your leaky basement needs. As one of the largest waterproofing contractors in the city, you can rest assured that your home will be nice and dry.
