Scarborough’s older homes and clay soil make basement water a common headache, from seeping walls to backed-up drains after a heavy storm. IcyReno waterproofs, underpins, and repairs drains across Scarborough, and we start every job by finding the real source of the water instead of guessing.
Scarborough has a lot of homes built from the 1950s through the 1970s, many with original clay weeping tile that has since silted up or collapsed. When that drainage fails, water pools against the foundation and finds its way in. We replace failed weeping tile with PVC, waterproof the foundation, and add sump and backwater protection so the next big rain is not a problem. For homeowners adding space, we also underpin to gain legal basement height.
We serve Agincourt, Malvern, Guildwood, Birch Cliff, and the rest of Scarborough.
Scarborough has a lot of homes built between the 1950s and 1970s, and many still run on their original clay weeping tile, which silts up and collapses over time. When that drainage fails, water pools against the foundation and works its way in, especially after the heavy summer storms. We replace failed weeping tile with PVC, waterproof the foundation, and add sump and backwater protection. For homeowners adding space, we also underpin to gain legal basement height, from Agincourt to the Bluffs.
We serve Scarborough from Agincourt and Malvern to Guildwood, Birch Cliff, Cliffside and the Bluffs. A lot of the housing here went up between the 1950s and 1970s and still runs on original clay weeping tile that has since silted up or collapsed. When that drainage fails, water pools against the foundation and finds its way in, especially after the heavy summer storms that roll through the east end. We replace failed weeping tile with PVC, waterproof the foundation, and add sump and backwater protection. Homes near the Bluffs also deal with grading and slope, which we factor into the drainage plan.
Usually failed clay weeping tile or foundation cracks letting water in under pressure. A free inspection finds the exact source before we quote the fix.
Yes. We replace old clay weeping tile with modern PVC and connect it to a sump system so your basement drains the way it should.
Often, yes. Sloped lots near the Bluffs move water differently, so grading and exterior drainage matter more. We factor the slope into the plan after an on-site look.
It depends on interior vs exterior and how much of the foundation is involved. See our Toronto waterproofing cost guide for 2026 ranges, then book a free Scarborough inspection for your exact number.
