Basement Waterproofing in Ajax, Ontario
Interior & exterior waterproofing, foundation crack repair and sump pump installation — backed by a lifetime transferable warranty.
A wet basement is more than an inconvenience — it's a threat to your foundation, your air quality, and your home's value. If you're seeing water stains, efflorescence, musty smells, or cracks in your foundation walls, your home is telling you something.
Durham Basement Pros keeps Ajax basements dry — from 1980s-era homes in Westney Heights to newer builds in Nottingham and Audley, we know exactly how water behaves in Ajax's clay-heavy soil — and how to stop it for good.

Why Ajax Homes Get Wet Basements
Much of Ajax — Westney Heights, Riverside, Pickering Village — was built in the 1970s–90s on dense clay soil with a high water table. Original weeping tiles clog, exterior membranes degrade, and every spring thaw or summer downpour pushes water against aging foundations. Add Durham Region's freeze-thaw cycles opening small cracks wider each year, and even homes that were dry for decades start leaking.

It depends on the water source. Seepage at the wall-floor joint often suits an interior system; recurring leaks through wall cracks or failed exterior membrane call for exterior work. Our free inspection identifies the source before we recommend anything.
Crack injections: half a day. Interior systems: 1–3 days. Full exterior waterproofing: 3–7 days including excavation and restoration.
Yes — lifetime transferable warranty on waterproofing systems. It transfers to the next homeowner, which helps resale.
That program is Toronto-specific, but we'll flag any Durham Region or municipal rebates you may qualify for during the inspection.
