Stop Water Intrusion Before It Becomes a Bigger Problem

If you see any wet spots, musty smells, or visible water leaking in your basement, then it is time to take action. At United Trade, we are the experts in termite inspection for both residential and commercial buildings throughout Canberra. We are a highly skilled team of experts and are capable of preventing even the most difficult water leaks.

Living in a city like Canberra means you're used to unpredictable weather and a variety of climatic conditions — from dry spells to torrential downpours. This variability can take its toll on basement structures, especially those where waterproofing has already failed or the drainage system is out of date. Our basement leak repair is built to accommodate these local obstacles while delivering precise results that last and stop leaks, prevent mould, and protect your foundations.

What United Trade Offer

Why Your Basement is Leaking

Basement leaks come in many different shapes and forms, and solving the problem requires knowledge of their cause. Periodic hydrostatic pressure, foundation wall cracks, poor exterior drainage, and failed waterproof membranes are some examples of the many potential causes. These are not issues that just go away if left untreated, they typically get worse and worse over time, causing structural damage, interior damage, and unhealthy living conditions.

For us at United Trade, the first thing we do is inspection. We find out if your basement leaks are caused by foundation wall cracks, bad floor joints, plugged weeping tiles, or surface water that doesn’t recede properly. We provide tailored repair solutions to get to the root of the problem, not just its symptoms.

We are not into quick fixes. Our objective is to offer a complete basement leak repair solution in canberra so your home can stay dry, safe, and structurally sound, no matter what Canberra’s weather can throw at it.

Why You Should Seek Professional Basement Leak Repair

When you get around to that part of the basement, you want to make sure it’s not only comfortable but that it’s protected, valuable, and worry-free for the future. A wet basement is one of the best ways to get your basement to grow mould, ruin your property value, and degrade your indoor air quality. Over time, these problems can impact your family’s health and your home’s resale value.

With professional basement water leak repair services in ACT Canberra, you can also trust that your home is protected from further water entry. Professionally finished basements get rid of the visible water damage as well as protect the electrical work to prevent rotting of joists and other structural issues while improving insulation and lowering energy costs.

And a dry basement gives you all kinds of options for the way you use the space. Whether you intend to renovate it and turn it into a living space, use it as a storehouse, or just enjoy a bit of peace of mind when the storm season comes around, our services provide you with the most solid foundation –literally–on which to complement your property.

How We Work: What Happens When You Engage United Trade

When you call United Trade for service to fix your leaking basement, you’re calling experts who care about getting the job done right, helping you understand what’s going on, and making sure you receive only the very best in quality of workmanship. Our process starts with a thorough examination of your property. Using sophisticated moisture-detecting equipment and visual inspection, we identify the location and scale of the leaks.

Once we have identified where the water is coming from, our repair options may be to inject the cracks from the interior, install our internal waterproofing membranes, or work with your existing drainage system to better it with weeping tiles and sump pumps. In some situations, we advise clients to look into an additional waterproofing option externally, especially if a significant amount of groundwater intrusion is coming in.

And as ever, our work is done with the least amount of interruption and as much transparency as possible. We talk you through the process, give you an indication of timing, and make sure the area is clean and safe once we have done our job. We provide industry-standard warranties for each of our services, and we guarantee all of our repairs.
