Interior and exterior solutions engineered to stop water at its source — not just mask the symptoms. Licensed crews. GTA-wide coverage.
The Problem With Water
A damp basement might seem like a minor annoyance, but hydrostatic pressure, freeze-thaw cycles, and saturated soil are working around the clock to force water into your home. Left untreated, water intrusion leads to mold, structural damage, and a dramatically reduced property value.
At DryCore Systems, we don't use temporary patches. We identify the root cause — whether it's failed drainage, cracked walls, inadequate waterproofing membranes, or collapsed weeping tiles — and we fix it with an engineered, permanent solution.
Every waterproofing job we complete is backed by our fully transferable 25-Year Warranty.
Our Waterproofing Solutions
We offer both interior and exterior approaches, selected based on your specific situation, soil conditions, and budget.
Interior waterproofing manages and redirects water that enters through the foundation before it can reach your living space. It's the most common solution for existing homes and is far less disruptive than exterior excavation.
Exterior waterproofing is the most comprehensive solution — stopping water before it ever reaches your foundation wall. Our team excavates to the footing, applies a full waterproofing system, and restores the grade for optimal drainage.
Weeping tiles (perforated drainage pipes) collect groundwater around your foundation and redirect it safely away. Over time, Ontario's clay-heavy soil clogs these pipes — causing them to fail. DryCore replaces both interior and exterior weeping tile systems with modern, long-lasting solutions.
Hairline and structural cracks in poured concrete walls are among the most common entry points for water. DryCore uses hydraulic polyurethane or epoxy injection — a proven technique that fills the crack from the inside out, creating a bond stronger than the original concrete.
How It Works
A certified specialist visits your property, identifies every water entry point, and assesses the cause — not just the symptom.
You receive a clear, itemized written estimate with no hidden costs and multiple solution options ranked by effectiveness.
Our certified crew executes the approved plan, working efficiently with minimal disruption to your home.
Your warranty is issued in writing, fully transferable to future buyers, and backed by DryCore's reputation.
Questions & Answers
Most interior waterproofing jobs are completed in 1–2 days for an average-sized basement. Larger homes or more complex drainage layouts may take 3 days. We work efficiently and clean up after each workday.
Interior waterproofing typically does not require a permit in most GTA municipalities. Exterior work that involves significant excavation may require one. DryCore handles all permitting requirements on your behalf.
Yes. Our 25-Year Warranty is fully transferable to new homeowners at no charge. This is a significant selling feature that many GTA home buyers specifically look for.
Ontario's climate creates severe freeze-thaw cycles that crack concrete and mortar joints. Clay-heavy GTA soil retains water and exerts constant hydrostatic pressure. Combined with aging weeping tiles (most Toronto-area homes have clay tile systems 30–60 years old), leaks are extremely common — but entirely fixable.
