Frequently Asked Questions
Will You Repair the Entire Foundation?
If your entire foundation needs to be stabilized or waterproofed and repaired to prevent future damage, we will provide you with an effective and lasting solution that ensures your safety and the marketability of your home. Every project that we take on includes a thorough and honest inspection, followed by our recommendation for the work that is required. We never make false claims or engage in band-aid solutions. Quality work and customer satisfaction are our priorities.
Is Foundation Waterproofing Really Necessary?
If moisture can seep through the foundation and collect in your basement, it can lead to mold growth that can cause serious health problems and further damage to your home. Basement waterproofing provides a protective barrier on the exterior foundation walls to prevent water infiltration that can lead to mold and other foundation issues. Nobody wants a wet basement caused by poor foundation waterproofing (or incorrect sump pump installation) for that mater.
When Should I Get My Stone Foundation Inspected?
Small issues can quickly escalate, especially if you own an older home with a stone foundation. That’s why you should arrange to have a foundation inspection as soon as any moisture, deterioration or movement is suspected to diagnose any issues that could need repair now. We offer the necessary repairs for tiered armour stone foundations as well.
How Do You Determine If Something Needs Repair?
Our team of experts will come to your home and conduct a thorough on-site inspection to determine the problem and all the relevant risks.

What if we've just had newly completed landscaping?
Unfortunately most of our services such as foundation crack injections, waterproofing services, foundation restoration or concrete foundation repair require us to dig in to the ground to gain access. Basement leaks and wet basements caused by a cracked foundation require us to gain access from the outside in many cases. That said, our top notch foundation repair contractors are only going to remove the minimum amount of required soil to complete the work which will have minimal impact. We will speak with you about weeping tile replacement and are always extremely helpful to provide a successful outcome.
