QuestionsBefore you call
General
What services do you offer?
Foundation crack repair, leaking and wet basements, sump pump installation and repair, window well leaks, and interior and exterior waterproofing, anywhere in the GTA.
How do I know the work is insured?
Before anything starts, ask for proof of liability insurance and WSIB coverage, and get the quote in writing. Any reputable waterproofing company will show you both.
Do you offer free inspections?
On-site estimates are often free. Confirm when you book the visit.
What areas do you serve?
The Greater Toronto Area, including Toronto, Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Durham Region, Mississauga, Brampton and Halton. See the full list above.
How do I schedule an appointment?
Call or text 416-995-6504, or send the form. We'll go over the details with you and book a time for a pro to look at it in person.
Can you handle emergency situations?
If water is coming in right now, call or text instead of using the form and tell us it's urgent so we can flag it. How fast someone can come out depends on availability that day.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment methods and any deposit are set out on your written quote, so you know before agreeing to the work.
Costs & financing
How much does basement waterproofing cost?
It depends on the cause. Sealing one crack from inside costs far less than digging outside to waterproof a whole wall. A pro will look at it in person and quote you before starting.
Do you offer financing?
Financing or payment plans may be available for larger jobs. Ask about it when you get your quote.
Are there government rebates available?
Some GTA cities offer subsidies for flood protection, such as backwater valves and sump pumps. The City of Toronto's Basement Flooding Protection Subsidy Program is one example. Check your city's website for what applies to your home, and apply before the work starts if the program requires it.
What factors affect the cost of waterproofing?
Where the water is coming in, whether the fix is inside or outside, how many feet of wall need work, how deep the foundation is, how easy it is to dig (decks, driveways, landscaping), and whether the basement is finished.
Technical
How do I know if my basement needs waterproofing?
Common signs: water or damp patches on the floor or walls, cracks in the foundation, a musty smell, white chalky residue on the concrete, peeling paint, or mould along the bottom of the walls.
What's the difference between interior and exterior waterproofing?
Interior work happens inside the basement: sealing cracks by injection, or installing a drainage channel and sump pump to carry water away. Exterior work means digging down beside the foundation to add a waterproof membrane and new weeping tile. A pro will recommend one based on where the water is coming from.
How long does waterproofing last?
It depends on the method and the quality of the work. A properly installed exterior membrane is meant to last for decades. Ask about the expected lifespan and warranty for your specific job when you get your quote.
Can I waterproof my basement myself?
Some things, yes: extend downspouts at least six feet from the house, slope soil away from the foundation, and keep window wells clear. Active leaks through cracks or the floor, and anything that involves digging, are best left to a pro.
Is the work guaranteed?
Get the warranty in writing with your quote, including what it covers, how long it lasts, and whether it transfers if you sell.
Will waterproofing increase my home value?
A dry basement is easier to sell, since water problems often come up in buyers' home inspections. Keep the invoice and written warranty to show buyers the problem was fixed.
