Waterproofing

Hi All,

Does anyone know of, or can anyone recommend a good foundation/basement waterproofing company?

I could have sworn I read a discussion about this on The Leslieviller about a year ago (or so)...but I have searched the site and cannot locate the thread.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

thanks,

Meaghan

I just had Ascot waterproof my foundation (our house was getting an indoor pool every time it rained). They did a great job and were on time and on budget and very good and professional to work with. They do a lot of work in the Leslieville area so they know the conditions they will find, too, which is an added bonus. (They are located on Queen East, just West of the River.)

We used MudMonkeys in October 2010 and they were FANTASTIC. I would highly recommend them.

Hi there,

just go on the Holmes on Homes website and look under contractors, they are bound to be creditable if he uses them.

My (ex) husband had three different companies out to diagnose our problem and offer solutions. All solutions involved tearing up the ground outside the house, on the premise that there was (a) no weeping tile or (b) it had been broken up over the years and needed to be replaced. Given the space is narrow between my house and the next, a mini-cat couldn't be used: it would have to be dug out by hand, carried out by wheelbarrow to temporarily put the dirt and soil in a container while work was done, then manually truck it all back. Costs were variable between $15 and $20K. We didn't get it done.

Two years ago my sump pump died. I had Bosco plumbers over to replace it. They installed a backflow preventer as well. My basement has been dry ever since. If you're not having weeping from the walls (mine was all from seam cracks between the base of the shoulder walls --the basement had been lowered--and the floor) then that might be all you need. The cost came in under 2K, if I remember correctly.
