Waterproofing that keeps watching after we leave
Most contractors waterproof your basement and disappear. RenoNext installs a connected sensor in your sump pit that tracks the water level and your pump 24/7 — and texts you the moment something looks wrong, long before water reaches the floor.
This is what your sump pit looks like, in real time
A working sample of the RenoNext sump monitor — water level, every pump run, and instant alerts. The readings below update live.
Sample data shown for demonstration. Your real sensor reports from your own basement.
Why a monitored system beats ordinary waterproofing
Waterproofing fails silently — a stuck float, a tripped breaker, a worn pump. Monitoring turns those silent failures into a notification you can act on.
Instant flood alerts
If water climbs past the warning line, you get a push notification with the exact level — minutes count when it's rising.
Pump health tracking
Every run is detected and timed. Short-cycling or a pump that won't start while water is high is flagged before it fails completely.
Power-loss detection
Storms cut power and flood basements together. The sensor runs on backup battery and warns you the moment mains power drops.
Proof on your record
Pump activity and water levels become part of your HouseFax home record — proof the system works, useful at resale.
Five failures it catches before you would
The sensor watches for the specific ways a basement goes wet — and tells you which one is happening.
High water
Water rises within 15 cm of the lid — overflow is imminent.
Pump failure
Water is high but the pump has not run — a stuck or dead pump.
Short-cycling
The pump runs unusually often — a sign of a failing float or check valve.
Power loss
Mains power dropped; the unit is on backup battery.
Sensor offline
No readings received — the system tells you it has gone quiet.

How monitored waterproofing works
One project. Protection that doesn't stop when the crew drives away.
We waterproof
Interior or exterior system, foundation crack repair, and a properly sized sump and backup — done right first.
We install the sensor
A connected water-level sensor mounts over your sump pit and starts reporting within minutes.
You get alerts
Watch the live dashboard any time, and get a push notification the moment a reading crosses the line.
Every reading becomes part of your home's record
Your sump's water levels and pump runs don't just trigger alerts — they're saved to your HouseFax, the digital record of work on your home. It's documented proof the waterproofing system is doing its job, yours to keep and share with a buyer at resale.

Smart waterproofing FAQ
What is monitored (smart) waterproofing?
Monitored waterproofing pairs a proper interior or exterior waterproofing system with a connected water-level sensor in your sump pit. The sensor measures how high the water sits, detects every time the pump runs, and sends alerts to your phone the moment water rises too high, the pump fails, or mains power is lost — so a failure becomes a notification instead of a flooded basement.
How does the sump pump sensor detect a problem?
The sensor reads the distance to the water surface once a minute. From that history RenoNext infers each pump run, the water level, how often the pump cycles, and how long it runs. If water climbs past the warning or high thresholds, the pump short-cycles, the pump stops responding while water is high, or the unit goes offline, you get an alert with the exact reading.
Does the sensor work if the power goes out?
Yes. Storms that flood basements often knock out power too. The sensor runs on a backup battery and reports "mains power lost — running on backup battery," so you know to check your pump or backup system before the pit fills.
Is the monitoring an extra cost on top of waterproofing?
The sensor and first year of monitoring are included with eligible RenoNext waterproofing projects. We confirm the exact inclusions in your written quote before any work starts — no surprises.
Do you waterproof across the Greater Toronto Area?
Yes. RenoNext handles interior and exterior waterproofing, foundation crack repair, and sump systems across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and the surrounding GTA.
