Common Questions

Exterior waterproofing typically ranges from $150 to $300 per linear foot. For an average London home, the total project cost usually falls between $15,000 and $25,000 depending on foundation depth and soil conditions.

Yes, interior waterproofing is significantly more affordable because it avoids deep exterior excavation. It generally costs between $60 and $120 per linear foot, bringing a typical project to $3,500 - $10,000.

If you only have a localized leak, foundation crack injections (using epoxy or polyurethane) typically cost between $500 and $1,500 per crack.

Yes, Southwestern Ontario's clay-rich soil holds water against foundations longer and is harder to excavate. This can increase labor costs and require heavier drainage layers compared to sandy soils.
