Where to begin....we would always get a bit of water on the basement floor from heavy rains so we stored eveything on tables. In 2009 we experienced MAJOR flooding where the culverts that carry the river next to our home where blocked with a beaver dam (we live in Beaver Bank, NS Canada) and the river eventually surrounded our home. The hydrostatic pressure filled our basement through the joint at the floor & footings and also a few floor cracks, the pressure was also strong enough that the water actually came in through the floor drains destroying the check balls that were supposed to stop the water!After speaking with local contractors on how to fix the problem, they all decided that their suggestions probably would not work due to the fact that the water outside and inside our basement was at the same level....there is no way digging up around the outside and putting new big O ...or sump pumps...or bubble wrap on the outside would ever work SO I started the search online and eventually came across Sani-Tred and testimonies from people who were able to completely waterproof their basement and save their homes AND it was a DIY product.Although the products are not cheap, my wife and I decided to give them a try and to this day almost 14 years later we have not had a drop of water in our basement since we installed the Sani-tred. The cost ($2,500.00) to completely water proof and Radon proof our basement was at about 25% of the cheapest contractor price to put in their water proofing system that would NOT WORK! "....and also their system would do nothing for the Radon"Since that time we have helped 5 other friend's and family water proof their homes as well and again "not a drop of water" in any of them!One of those homes was our sons who also lived in the highest Radon area in Lower Sackville...now he and family are safe from flooding and from Radon Gas!!!!!Thank you Sani-Tred.....Canada loves your products!!!!

SaniTred products are absolutely amazing! It has the best waterproofing solutions in the market right now. Specially for long term solutions, not something that will only work for a few years. And, not only its products are amazing but the SaniTred team is amazing! Very helpful, eager to help and extremely knowledgeable. Definitely recommended for any waterproofing project.

Ruben Medina

Great materials. Works as advertised.

NineInch Nails

Everyone associated with incredible products is knowledgeable and professional when you call. The products are far superior to the box store products in quality and performance. 100% recommend any contractor or individual purchase products from them. A shout out to Mrs. Jeanine for always taking care of our orders and following through with her insight and professionalism.

We purchased Sani-Tred waterproofing for our garage. We live on the side of a mountain and our garage is on the downhill side where winter snow thaw run-off water and summer rains (monsoons) would cause water seepage to actual flooding of the garage through the garage stem wall. We followed the two step process for filling holes/seams as well as sealing the concrete wall to floor seam. THE SEALING PROCESS WORKED FLAWLESSLY! The garage has not had any leakage since we sealed our garage over three years ago. We highly recommend Sani-Tred products!

Excellent product

Charles Pinner

I've used these products on several houses. If you follow the instructions and apply correctly, it will stop 100% of water infiltration.My only complaint is that packaging was change up and the last time I used the products it took 3 shipments before I got it without damage. Hopefully they have gone back to using the spray foam to secure product in the boxes!!Will be the company I call when in need of water proofing!!

Charles Edwards

I have used the product on two applications. The first time I used it to fill small pin holes on a livestock trailer and then painted/waterproofed the entire trailer. The second time was a repair and waterproofing of an evaporative cooler. Both times the product worked great. This product is well worth the money.

Brian Hodge

I used your product to coat my DE pool filter that had developed some pin hole leaks. Worked great for two years, and bought me some time to save for a new filter ($3500). Really good stuff, and easy to use.

Brent Thomas

This stuff works great, I tried many other ways to keep water out, this is the only one that worked.

Brandon Stearns

This product was amazing. While having a high quality for great results, it was very user friendly.

brandon rickman

We used their products over 30 years ago to waterproof our basement and it’s still doing its job. I wouldn’t hesitate to use it again.

Tammy Kettlehut

I use tye product 2 years ago and so far no leaks, no moisture. What else to add :)

Samuel Cruz

Built some pretty custom projects and their service and product allowed me to get it done and done well.
