Foundation Repair & Waterproofing in Vancouver & Burnaby

Foundation Water Damage in Vancouver — A Common Problem

Vancouver's heavy rainfall and high water table make foundation water damage one of the most common homeowner concerns in the region. Water that pools around your foundation can seep through cracks, erode soil, and cause structural damage that's expensive to repair if left unchecked. HYDROPRO PLUMBING & WATER LTD provides expert foundation repair services focused on the plumbing and drainage aspects that cause most water-related foundation issues.

Signs of Foundation Water Problems

• Water seeping into your basement — even small amounts of moisture indicate hydrostatic pressure against your foundation walls
• Efflorescence — white mineral deposits on concrete walls showing water is moving through the material
• Musty odours or mold growth — excess moisture creates ideal conditions for mold, which poses health risks
• Cracks in foundation walls or floors — horizontal cracks are especially concerning as they indicate lateral pressure from water-saturated soil
• Sticking doors or uneven floors — foundation shifting caused by water erosion beneath your home
• Peeling paint or bubbling drywall in basement areas from moisture intrusion

Our Foundation Repair Solutions

Exterior Foundation Waterproofing

The most comprehensive approach to foundation water problems. We excavate around the foundation, apply waterproof membrane coatings, install drainage board, and lay new French drain (perimeter drain) systems to redirect water away from your foundation. This exterior approach stops water before it contacts the foundation wall.

Interior Drainage Systems

When exterior excavation isn't feasible, interior drainage systems collect water that enters the basement and channel it to a sump pump for removal. This includes installing interior perimeter drains, sump basins, and pump systems to keep your basement dry.

Foundation Crack Repair

We repair foundation cracks using epoxy or polyurethane injection, which fills the crack from the inside out and creates a waterproof seal. For structural cracks, we use carbon fibre reinforcement straps or wall anchors to stabilize the wall while sealing the water entry point.

Grading and Drainage Correction

Often, foundation water problems originate from poor surface drainage. We correct grading around your home, install proper downspout extensions, and ensure all surface water flows away from the foundation — a simple solution that prevents most water intrusion.

Why Foundation Issues Require a Plumber

Most foundation water problems are plumbing and drainage problems. Leaking water mains, broken sewer lines, failed perimeter drains, and improper grading are all plumbing-related causes. Our team addresses the root cause of water intrusion, not just the symptoms. We also coordinate with structural engineers when needed to ensure comprehensive repairs.
