Exterior waterproofing of front sides of house
Thanks Tim, it was a pleasure working for you under the difficult circumstances (Tim lives on a high watertable in the Beaches, and it wasn't until the watertable was controlled that we could do our job properly. There are many streams and watertables in the Beaches and Riverdale area, that make doing the job properly difficult, if you don't know what you're doing) Again, thanks for choosing us to seal your basement.

Interior Basement Waterproofing
Chris, we really appreciate your kind words. I believe you're right, I don't think we ever met. That's the beauty of having a foreman like Mitch that I have complete confidence in. I have many men who have worked for me for a number of years that I trust to be respectful and diligent when it comes to meeting with customers, and stopping water problems.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to come and do the work for you Tina, even though it took 6 weeks. We appreciate your patience. Thanks, Darby
Jeremy we appreciate those kind words. You were extremely accomodating to work for and we were happy we were able to solve the problem with your stone foundation. Thanks again, Darby
Thank you Kevin, its always a challenge sealing a foundation in Cabbagetown, but it's definitley a great feeling when you know you have successfully stopped the water. These homes were built in the 1800's and numerous homeowners have had to do work on the foundation to stop water leaks. Once you have exposed the wall from the outside and have located the problem area, you can be assured you will be able to solve the problem. Thanks again for choosing us. Darby
Interior Basement Waterproofing
Juliette, we genuinely appreciate your review. We were happy we were able to help you with your problem, which is very common amongst houses on the Danforth. Whenever a previous homeowner chooses to lower the floor without properly benching or underpinning you can have this problem. We can waterproof the exterior walls and not stop the problem, only an interior waterproof will work in this situation. We do look forward to waterproofing your exterior walls at a later date if you choose to restore them. Thanks again, Darby

Thanks for the review, I am happy we were able to help you with your home improvement. Sincerely, Darby
WATERPROOFING
Tired of mopping the water in your basement? Does your basement smell of mould and mildew? Is your foundation wall retaining water slowly and deteriorating? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then the following will describe the reasons why, and how, to eliminate the problem. The cause of your basement's musty smell is because your foundation wall is retaining water, be it in the hollow block cavities or trapped behind the double brick or stone wall, as well as the water that is absorbed by the block, brick and stone. This combination causes the wall to produce mould, mildew and epharecense. The water trapped in the wall slowly deteriorates the wall, starting at the bottom.The water that makes its way into the basement through the wall and seems to cause us the most grief may not be the most concerning problem. The same problem will not occur with a solid poured concrete wall. The reason being you will find a defined crack in the solid wall that allows all the water to enter in, without retaining little, or any water.Regardless of which type of foundation you have, it can become watertight, mould and mildew-free by sealing your foundation from the OUTSIDE. With solid poured concrete foundations, you can inject the crack from the inside and the elements stay out.You must expose your foundation wall from grade level to 6" below the top of the footing. Then you must clean the wall thoroughly, exposing the deteriorated areas and cleaning all the dust and dirt from the wall. Then, restore any cracks or loose mortar joints with hydrolic cement. Cement coat the wall,Tar and install 6mm poly plastic on top. Once the wall is treated, install a 4" continuous weeping tile covered with 6 inches of 3/4" stone. Then back-fill the earth compacting at every foot. At grade level slope the earth, concrete, interlocking etc. away from the house.This method never fails. I have used this system over 13 years without fail. I have the references for you to refer to. We also have a photo album to take you step by step through the procedure.So, stop mopping! Relieve your allergies from mold and mildew and restore your foundation. When you do decide to restore your foundation do it the right way - from the outside. Remember, 40% of all my work is fixing other people's attempt to stop the water.
