Foundations & Parging across Ontario

Cracks, leaks, spalling parging, dealt with properly, from the outside where it matters.

Overview

Why this service matters, and how we approach it.

Foundation problems get expensive fast if ignored. A hairline crack becomes a wet basement becomes mould remediation becomes structural settlement. Catching problems at the foundation stage is a fraction of the cost of dealing with the symptoms.

We diagnose foundation issues honestly, recommend the least invasive effective repair, and carry it out with lifetime warranty on our crack-injection and exterior waterproofing work.

What's included

How we approach every foundations & parging project.

Exterior waterproofing

The gold standard, excavate to footing, membrane, drainage board, new weeping tile.

Polyurethane crack injection

Interior injection for isolated cracks, faster and cheaper than full excavation.

Parging & resurfacing

Replace spalling parging with fibre-reinforced mix that actually stays on.

Structural underpinning

For settlement issues, we work with structural engineers on detailed plans.

My basement is damp, is it the foundation?
Maybe, maybe not. Often it's surface water from inadequate grading, downspout discharge too close to the house, or gutter problems.
Exterior or interior waterproofing?
Exterior is the proper fix, it stops water from entering the wall at all. Interior drainage systems just manage water after it's already in the block.
How long does foundation work take?
Crack injection takes a few hours per crack. Full exterior waterproofing of one wall takes 3 to 7 days depending on depth and access.
How much does crack injection cost vs full waterproofing?
Crack injection runs $400 to $900 per crack. Full exterior waterproofing of one wall runs $6,000 to $14,000.
Will exterior waterproofing damage my garden?
We protect landscaping where possible, but realistically we need 1.5m of working space along the wall.
