GJ MacRae Foundation Repair

The horror of wet carpet in the basement along the foundation wall that you know wasn't the result of a dropped glass of water. It is unfortunately what many of us with block foundations in older homes have experience with. Gavin and his crew were professional in their area of expertise from the first call through to the end of the job. Core work included gaining access to the foundation wall to allow for waterproofing and upgrading the weeping tile system. The work was completed safely, on schedule, thoroughly as per the scope and cleaned up fully. All questions were answered with recommendations and zero pressure. I'd definitely recommend to consider GJ MacRae Foundation Repair to correct foundation wall leaks and improve the performance of your home.

Amazing company to work with. From the initial contact to the completion of the job, Gavin and his crew were fantastic. Very detailed and accurate quote outlined the job, providing a clear understanding of the job at hand.
Not only did they do a fantastic job, but they were ok and out within days but ensured the job site was as clean as possible.
These guys will be my go to if I ever need additional work done.

We've been using Gavin and Noreen for years and the MacRae's work has always been amazing. Gavin knows his stuff and is more than happy to give you different ideas or recommendations to help resolve the problem. He is always personable, respectful and professional. The team was very flexible with their schedule given the challenges we had co-ordinating permits. They did a fantastic job, as usual. I recommend Gavin to anyone who has foundation issues - you won't regret the choice.

GJ MacRae replaced a major part of the foundation in a century home I purchased. I was very happy with their initiative, communication, speed, and quality of the work done. They took the initiative of arranging the contract with the listing agent when the seller was dragging their feet. Due to the late start date, we didn't think a job of that size could possibly get done before closing, but they pulled it off. A few weeks later, I noticed a small leak after a major rainstorm, they assessed, repaired, and installed an interior weeping tile within a day. They do great work and they stand by it. Highly recommend.

In 2007, I contacted GJ Macrae to estimate work for a basement leak. We decided to fix the single crack from the outside wall.
Years later we noticed a very minor leak from that same wall. I called them with my concern and with no hesitations the son came by, checked it out. He was very honourable and fixed it right away. It has been a few years now with quite a few heavy downpours, and it has held up perfectly.
Thank you to GJ Macrae Repairs

The crew was very professional, they went above and beyond and we're very happy with the end result. I would highly recommend GJ MacRae Foundation Repair to anyone in need of their service

We had a crumbling foundation at the finished finished the house where the previous owners had put on an addition. This was also causing the floor above to become uunstable. We contacted Gavin at MacRae Foundation Repair, they gave us a quote and a time frame for the work to be completed. They were very professional, they finished within the time frame and did everything they said. They left the area completely clean. We were very happy with the work that they performed and would highly recommend them, and would use them again if the need ever arose.

When we bought our100 year old house, the basement had been waterproofed- sort of, Perhaps in the 1990s. We were having other work done when the contractor noticed a leak in the basement. When we inspected it, the so called waterproofing was a single layer with gaps. At least one wall (the side with the back porch) had not been waterproofed at all.

We elected to re-do the waterproofing completely as this was holding up other renovation plans. The MacRae folks did a very good job. This including waterproofing one wall from the inside rather than talking off the rear two story porch, We recommended them to our neighbours for their waterproofing needs and I understand that they were happy. We did experience some issues caused by the rubble foundation, the MacRae folks came out right away and fixed the matter.

As lick would have it, the exterior stairwell into the basement started to crumble... the was an area not included in the original work. We have to rebuild this. This required gearing a permit and an engineer's recommendation. The MacRae folks recommended an engineer. Once we had the permit - which took a while – the work was done quickly and well.

We had GJ Macrae underpin our 1890s house in Leslieville over the summer. The team showed up on time every day, the project moved so smoothly. I wish I had another basement for them to underpin.

Highly recommend GJ Macrae for any basement or underpinning work. The final result looks fantastic, we have a beautiful basement, with nice tall ceilings!

The whole team was a pleasure to work with! 5 stars!

Dean & team were very professional - very happy with the result.
