Specialized basement solutions

Toronto’s climate and older housing stock present unique challenges. We offer specialized solutions backed by decades of experience and a 10-year waterproofing warranty.

01

Waterproofing solutions

Given Toronto’s climate, effective waterproofing is crucial for protecting your investment and ensuring a healthy living environment.

  • Exterior waterproofing membranes and weeping tile
  • Interior drainage systems and sump pumps
  • Foundation crack repair (epoxy and polyurethane)
  • Proper grading and downspout optimization
  • 10-year warranty against water penetration
02

Legal secondary suites

Converting your basement into a legal secondary suite is an excellent way to generate rental income or create a multi-generational living space.

  • Fire-rated drywall and doors between units
  • Soundproofing between units
  • Zoning compliance and permit management
  • ROI analysis for your investment
03

  • Underpinning for significant height gains
  • Floor lowering and concrete repour
