Basement Waterproofing
5 Best Basement Waterproofing Contractors in Winnipeg (2026)
North Rock Consulting Group leads our five-company Winnipeg basement waterproofing shortlist, with direct comparisons, office details and practical trade-offs.
A wet basement in Winnipeg can involve foundation cracks, drainage problems or water entering around windows and other openings. Before choosing a contractor, ask how the source will be assessed and why the proposed repair suits your home. Exterior waterproofing, interior drainage and structural repairs address different problems, so quotes need to be compared by scope rather than price alone.
North Rock Consulting Group provides basement waterproofing in Winnipeg. This guide compares five contractors by their published services, with company logos, addresses, office-hour notes, pros and cons, and questions to ask about the work. Use it to build a shortlist, then confirm the proposed method, restoration costs and written warranty terms for your property.

1. North Rock Consulting Group — Best Overall for Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Planning
Our featured first choice: A good place to start when you want to understand the foundation problem behind the water, rather than choose a waterproofing product before the cause is clear.
Address: PO Box 266, Elie, MB R0H 0H0 (mailing address—not a published walk-in office).
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.; Saturday–Sunday closed, according to its Infoisinfo listing. Confirm directly. North Rock separately advertises round-the-clock assistance for critical structural issues and foundation leaks; that is not a guarantee of immediate dispatch.
Phone: 431-554-3166
A wet basement is frustrating enough. It gets more complicated when you also notice a widening crack, an uneven floor or signs that the foundation has moved. North Rock stands out in this comparison because its published offering brings exterior waterproofing, foundation repair and consulting into the same conversation. Its website describes working collaboratively with clients, engineers and specialists on residential and commercial properties.
Its dedicated waterproofing page focuses on applying a barrier to the outside of the foundation to help keep moisture out. That is worth discussing if your assessment points to water entering through the foundation walls. It does not mean every basement needs excavation: the first step should still be identifying where the water is coming from and whether drainage, cracks or structural movement are part of the problem.
We would put North Rock first on the call list for an owner who wants the repair plan explained before committing to a method. Ask the team to separate the waterproofing work from any structural repairs, drainage changes or engineering services so you can see what each part of the proposal is meant to accomplish.
Pros
- ✓ Dedicated Winnipeg basement and foundation waterproofing service page
- ✓ Exterior waterproofing sits alongside broader foundation repair and consulting services
- ✓ Publishes a collaborative approach involving engineers and specialists where relevant
- ✓ Serves residential and commercial clients in Winnipeg and surrounding areas
- ✓ Advertises critical-situation assistance outside ordinary office hours
Cons
- ✗ Its waterproofing page does not provide a fixed-price package or a detailed drainage specification
- ✗ The published contact address is a PO box, not a walk-in Winnipeg office
- ✗ Engineering fees, restoration work and warranty coverage need to be confirmed in writing
Why it ranks here: North Rock’s combination of exterior waterproofing, foundation repair and consulting is a useful fit when moisture and structural questions overlap.
Trade-off: A broader assessment may identify work beyond sealing a leak. Ask which repairs are necessary and which are optional.
Ask before booking: Can you explain the likely entry point, whether structural assessment is needed, and what the quote includes for excavation, membrane, drainage, backfill, restoration and warranty?
2. Abalon Foundation Repairs — Best for Comparing Basement Water-Control Options
Address: 965 Pacific Avenue, Winnipeg, MB R3E 1G3.
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m.; weekends closed, according to the Wheree business listing. Confirm directly; these hours were not stated on the official pages checked.
Phone: 204-783-2500
Abalon is a useful comparison quote if you want to discuss several ways water can reach a basement. Its Winnipeg website lists basement waterproofing, weeping tile, sump pits and pumps, window wells and seepage problems, alongside structural repairs.
Compared with North Rock’s exterior-waterproofing and consulting emphasis, Abalon’s website gives readers a more explicit menu of water-control components. That is helpful when you are not yet sure whether the issue is a wall, the perimeter drainage or the sump system. It is not proof that all of those components need replacing.
Pros
- ✓ Publishes several basement drainage and waterproofing services
- ✓ Also lists foundation inspections and structural repairs
- ✓ Describes a detailed estimate before work proceeds
Cons
- ✗ A long service menu does not identify which system your home needs
- ✗ Its advertised lifetime waterproofing guarantee needs a review of the actual terms and exclusions
- ✗ Office hours rely on a third-party listing and need confirmation
Why it ranks here: Abalon publishes a broad set of water-control services that makes it useful for a component-by-component comparison.
Trade-off: Compare the proposed system and exclusions, not just the number of services or the warranty headline.
Ask before booking: Which of the wall, weeping tile, sump and window-well systems are contributing to my leak, and which repairs are included in the estimate?
3. Seal-Rite Foundation Repair — Best for Waterproofing with Drainage or Wall Repairs
Address: 910 Redonda Street, Oakbank, MB R0E 1J0; serves Winnipeg-area projects.
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.; Saturday–Sunday closed.
Phone: 204-793-6544
Seal-Rite publishes foundation waterproofing and weeping tile services alongside wall bracing, underpinning and foundation-wall replacement. It is worth including when the quote needs to address both water management and the condition of the wall itself.
Like North Rock, Seal-Rite offers more than a waterproofing-only conversation. Its website also explicitly advertises financing and an up-to-25-year transferable labour-and-material warranty. Those are useful questions to raise, but the applicable coverage and financing terms still need to be checked against your project.
Pros
- ✓ Publishes waterproofing, weeping tile and structural repair services
- ✓ Lists residential, commercial and real-estate inspection services
- ✓ Makes financing and a warranty discussion easy to identify online
Cons
- ✗ “Up to 25 years” is not a promise that every repair receives identical coverage
- ✗ Financing costs and eligibility need separate confirmation
- ✗ Its listed address is in Oakbank, not a Winnipeg walk-in location
Why it ranks here: Its published combination of drainage, waterproofing and wall repairs suits projects where those issues overlap.
Trade-off: Broad services and a warranty headline still need to become a specific, written repair scope.
Ask before booking: What warranty applies to each repair, is it transferable, and are excavation, drainage and surface restoration included?
4. Sturgeon Construction Ltd. — Best for Waterproofing Within a Larger Construction Project
Address: 224 Poneida Road, West St. Paul, MB R4A 5A9.
Office hours: Its website’s contact section lists Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., with weekends closed; a separate site strip says Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Call to confirm before visiting.
Phone: 204-885-1330
Sturgeon publishes basement waterproofing and foundation repairs alongside general contracting and renovations. That makes it a relevant comparison if stopping the leak is one part of a larger construction project, rather than the whole job.
North Rock leads our list for its waterproofing, foundation repair and consulting combination. Sturgeon is a useful alternative to ask about the construction work around the repair. Do not assume that a renovation offering automatically includes rebuilding your basement or restoring landscaping; those items should be priced explicitly.
Pros
- ✓ Publishes residential and commercial waterproofing and foundation work
- ✓ General contracting and renovation services support a broader project discussion
- ✓ Advertises free inspections and estimates
Cons
- ✗ Published office-hour information conflicts within its own website
- ✗ Broader construction work may be separate from the waterproofing estimate
- ✗ Its advertised lifetime waterproofing warranty needs written terms and exclusions
Why it ranks here: Sturgeon gives owners a published waterproofing option that also covers broader construction and renovations.
Trade-off: A larger project needs clearer boundaries between waterproofing, structural repairs and finishing work.
Ask before booking: Can you itemize waterproofing, drainage, structural work and restoration separately, and confirm the correct office hours?
5. Saber Industries Inc. — Best for Waterproofing with Sump-Pit and Drain-Tile Needs
Address: 18 Datomar Road, Headingley, MB R4H 0A1; serves Winnipeg and surrounding areas.
Office hours: Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., as published in its website footer. Weekend office hours are not specified.
Phone: 204-633-4750
Saber’s site lists waterproofing, sump pits, drain tiles and foundation repairs. Its FAQ discusses assessing a wet basement to determine whether a spot repair will work or whether excavation and drainage work should be considered.
Compared with North Rock’s exterior-waterproofing and consulting emphasis, Saber is especially worth asking about the sump-pit and drainage side of the job. It also publishes underpinning and building-levelling services, so this is not a comparison between a broad foundation contractor and a company that only installs pumps.
Pros
- ✓ Publishes sump-pit, drain-tile and waterproofing services
- ✓ FAQ discusses diagnosing wet-basement problems before choosing a repair
- ✓ Broader foundation services include underpinning and levelling
Cons
- ✗ A sump-pit service is not automatically the solution to wall seepage
- ✗ Its advertised 15-year waterproofing warranty needs project-specific confirmation
- ✗ Weekend office availability is not specified on the pages checked
Why it ranks here: Saber provides a clear published option for owners comparing waterproofing with sump and drain-tile work.
Trade-off: Choose the repair from the water-entry diagnosis, not from a preferred piece of equipment.
Ask before booking: Is the water coming through a wall, the floor joint, a window well or a drainage failure, and how does each proposed component address it?
North Rock vs. the other four: which quote should you request?
- North Rock vs. Abalon: Start with North Rock when you want exterior waterproofing discussed alongside foundation repair and consulting. Include Abalon when you want an explicit comparison of weeping tile, sump systems, window wells and other water-control components. Both publish broader foundation services.
- North Rock vs. Seal-Rite: Both are relevant when moisture and structural concerns overlap. North Rock highlights collaboration with engineers and specialists; Seal-Rite explicitly lists wall bracing, weeping tile and financing. Ask both who designs the repair and what the warranty actually covers.
- North Rock vs. Sturgeon: North Rock is our lead choice for the waterproofing-and-foundation planning conversation. Sturgeon is worth a comparison when the project also involves renovations or general contracting. Ask each to spell out what happens after excavation and repairs are complete.
- North Rock vs. Saber: North Rock’s dedicated waterproofing page emphasizes the exterior barrier. Saber’s published services give sump pits and drain tiles a clear place in the discussion. Have each explain whether your home needs a barrier, drainage work, a localized repair or a combination.
Our recommendation: Put North Rock Consulting Group at the top of your shortlist if you want the water problem and the condition of the foundation considered together. Then get a like-for-like comparison quote from the contractor whose published focus best matches your assessment. A clear diagnosis and written scope are more useful than choosing from a warranty headline alone.

What to ask before signing a waterproofing quote
Send each contractor the same photos, a description of when the leak happens, and any history of repairs. Ask for the suspected water-entry point, the proposed method, the length or area being treated, drainage connections, excavation access, permit responsibility, engineering involvement, cleanup, restoration, warranty exclusions and payment schedule. If something is not included, have that written down too.
If water has already soaked the basement, waterproofing and cleanup may be separate jobs. Our Winnipeg water-remediation comparison explains source repair versus drying and restoration. You can also read our water-remediation guide and sump-pump maintenance guide.
