Our demolition services include residential and commercial structure removal with safety and compliance as priorities. We supply safety fences, remove debris according to Ministry of Environment standards, and clean sites thoroughly. Our team handles permit requirements and uses appropriate machinery to ensure efficient, code-compliant demolition projects.
Septic Systems
We install and repair septic systems including Ecoflo Biofilters, a certified alternative wastewater management solution. These systems use peat moss filtration for efficient treatment, requiring minimal maintenance compared to traditional septic tanks. Our Ontario-authorized installations ensure compliance with building codes and environmental regulations.

We specialize in wet basement repairs and foundation reinforcement. Our guaranteed solutions address water seepage through concrete, preventing mold growth and structural damage. Techniques include external sump installation and regrading to redirect water away from properties, ensuring long-term dryness and safety.
