To start, you need to pinpoint exactly where the water is coming from. This is easy to do if your basement wall is not finished and the cement wall is visible. But if you have a finished basement, then you need to investigate where the water is coming from. Is it actually coming from the wall or is it coming in from around the window or somewhere else?

There are two types of foundations that we waterproof: poured cement (concrete) and cinder block foundation. If water is coming from a cinder block foundation wall we will need to waterproof the exterior wall, which usually means excavating down to the footing and applying a waterproofing membrane (not to be confused with damp proofing; a spray application which is not recommended). Repairing a cinder block foundation from the inside usually is just a patch job and you should not attempt such a repair. Depending on the drainage system around the house, you might also require an exterior french drain.

The primary mission of Injection Classique is to aid home and business owners in maintaining the quality and longevity of their property by identifying and fixing problems in building foundations.

Founded in 1992 by Marc Don and the late Bob Cliffe, Injection Classique specializes in waterproofing and foundation repairs that become necessary as a result of water leaking into a building through its foundation.

The team at Injection Classique is made up of dedicated, trained professionals who will use their skill and knowledge to ensure that your property is in perfect condition. Most of our clients reside within the Greater Montreal Area, with our primary client base being in the West Island. However, we do provide services to those living outside this region and in those situations (depending on the distance) we might have to charge a small traveling fee.
