Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our comprehensive waterproofing solutions protect basements from water intrusion through foundation walls and floors. Using advanced Delta MS drainage membranes and weeping tile systems, we create complete moisture barriers that last decades. Services include both interior and exterior applications, with specialized solutions for high water tables and challenging soil conditions. All work backed by our industry-leading 25-year transferrable warranty.
Foundation Crack Repair
We specialize in permanent foundation crack solutions using hydraulic cement and structural reinforcement techniques. Our experts diagnose crack causes including soil movement and hydrostatic pressure, then implement repairs that restore structural integrity. Services cover all foundation types including poured concrete, block, and stone walls with guaranteed leak prevention outcomes.
Drain Camera Inspection
Our high-resolution drain cameras identify blockages, root intrusion, and pipe damage without excavation. This technology enables precise diagnosis of sewer and weeping tile issues, allowing targeted repairs that minimize disruption. The same-day diagnostics help qualify customers for city rebate programs through documented problem verification.
Sump Pump Installation
We install high-capacity sump pumps with battery backup systems to prevent basement flooding. Our installations include proper pit sizing, check valves, and discharge line routing to meet local code requirements. Emergency battery backup systems ensure continued operation during power outages, a critical feature for Toronto's severe weather patterns.
Backwater Valve
Our backwater valve installations protect against municipal sewer backups by preventing reverse flow during heavy rains. Certified technicians ensure proper placement and compliance with city regulations, helping homeowners qualify for up to $3,400 in local rebate programs while providing critical flood protection for basement living spaces.

Questions
Can you stop basement leaks from inside?
Yes, we use specialized products to seal basement walls and floors from the inside, preventing mold growth and eliminating musty smells while preserving structural integrity.
What causes white powder on basement walls?
Efflorescence indicates moisture penetration. Our waterproofing solutions address the source by sealing concrete walls and preventing lime leaching that weakens foundations.
How do you fix musty basement smells?
Our waterproofing process eliminates dampness that causes mold growth and fungus spores, improving air quality and eliminating health risks associated with basement moisture.
What's the difference between damp-proofing and waterproofing?
Damp-proofing only retards moisture, while our waterproofing systems create complete barriers against water penetration using flexible membranes that bridge hairline cracks as foundations settle.
What happens if I delay basement repairs?
Moisture issues worsen over time, leading to structural damage, mold growth, and decreased property value. Our free inspections help identify and resolve problems before they escalate.
