For the DIY enthusiasts, there are a few basement waterproofing techniques that are relatively easy to install. Flex seal, a minimalistic french drain, ready-to-apply waterproofing kits from the big stores — the market is full of solutions, and there are plenty of stores where you can find them in Newmarket.
It’s important to note that none of them are capable of delivering a 100% guaranteed result.
If you have hollow spots inside your basement walls, in concrete blocks, the water will find a way inside.
It works the same way with foundation cracks: just sealing it won’t do the trick.
DIY basement waterproofing kits work perfectly when you’re on a tight budget and need to win some time before ordering the full-scale work from a professional waterproofing company.
