WATERPROOFING SERVICES IN BURLINGTON
Burlington's location between Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment creates extraordinary waterproofing challenges. From lakefront properties dealing with fluctuating water tables to escarpment homes managing steep slope drainage, our team understands the complex geology of glacial deposits transitioning from sandy lakeshore to limestone bedrock. With 186,000 residents and homes averaging 35-45 years old, foundation protection requires specialized expertise.
Burlington's Unique Geography
The dramatic elevation change from Lake Ontario (75m) to the Niagara Escarpment (250m) creates complex water flow patterns. Escarpment springs, seasonal runoff, and lake-effect precipitation combine with varying soil conditions to challenge traditional waterproofing approaches.
