Interior Moisture Sources
Sometimes the water in our basements originates there. Water for such sources
include dryers, showers, cooking, humidifiers, and even the moisture from newly-constructed concrete.

Ideally, it is best to waterproof your basement in Barrie when construction of a building is going on. Newer construction may not allow you a basement waterproofing due to local building code requirements. In fact over the course of 3 to 5 years, exterior waterproofing materials wear off because of the ebb and flow of groundwater. It depends on the type of soil, location, and landscape slope (grade);whether a basement can have longer-lasting exterior waterproofing. Regardless, all homes become vulnerable at some point.
