Common Questions

Yes. Residents affected by the August 2025 floods can apply for the Provincial Disaster Assistance Program (PDAP) with a repair deadline of August 8, 2026. Additionally, the Secondary Suite Incentive (SSI) program offers up to $35,000 (35% of costs) which can cover waterproofing if it's part of a new legal suite development.

Interior waterproofing typically costs between $3,000 and $9,000 ($85–$160 per linear ft), while full exterior excavation and membrane installation ranges from $12,000 to $25,000+ ($180–$300+ per linear ft) due to the depth of Saskatoon foundations and soil conditions.

For a standard poured concrete foundation, a professional polyurethane or epoxy injection typically costs between $600 and $1,200 per crack, depending on the width and accessibility.

Exterior work is best performed between May and October to avoid frozen ground. However, interior drainage systems and crack injections can be completed year-round. Contractors often book 3-4 months in advance for the summer season.
