Basement Waterproofing

We had our basement waterproofed with one wall done externally and other walls done internally. Very detailed estimate provided. Rino was very patient with us and responsive to our many questions. Had a blocked weeping tile and some surprises during the excavation but Rino kept us updated on developments and changes in the original plan. Job completed in a reasonable time frame. Work and clean-up was done to our satisfaction.

Exterior waterproofing

The task became more extensive than originally believed due to enormous amounts of cement laid down over the years. The team performed well on the removal and replacement. Recommendations were made by a construction specialist for the handling of an incomplete foundation wall structure and remedied in due course. Although time line was extended by these problems and additional costs incurred, the work was well handled and explained at all stages. Clean up was through.

Hi Ken, many thanks for the review. Unfortunately, as you have stated, issues such as this may arise, and are only apparent when the area is excavated. In such cases, we immediately communicate our findings to the homeowner, and work diligently toward a solution; completing the job effectively and cost efficiently. We are glad you are happy with the result!
Sincerely,
Watertite Waterproofers

Basement Waterproofing

When our 80 year old Mom needed waterproofing in her basement we knew who to call. The work done to our home was done perfectly over 10 years ago. This was a big project and they did it from outside - the way it should be done. Not all companies will do this and others wanted to rip up the entire basement which would create huge additional costs.

Rino was very professional, and provided updates and shared pictures of his recommendations when they found new decision points. He worked to protect the neighbour's property and was able to waterproof the property of the other neighbour at the same time.

This is hard manual labour in and very hot summer, and the site crew kept a very clean and organized site. They kept Mom up to date - as well as me. The heat did delay the cementing of the walkway, but that let it settle properly. Mom is very pleased with the work along with her neighbours. I would definitely recommend Watertite for waterproofing - specifically for their quality of work, and customer service.

We always try to keep you informed at every stage of our work and keeping the job site neat and tidy for you and your neighbours is very important to us. Thanks again for this great recommendation and say “Hi” to mom!

excellence from beginning to end

Watertite provided a very detailed quote outlining exactly what they would do and why. The competition didn't even come close to the same detail. They did exacly what they said they would do, professionally and respectfully, and even finished the job slightly ahead of schedule. The workers cleaned up the job site so well it was difficult to tell that they were even there. Every single phase of my project was handled perfectly and I will recommend them to anyone who asks.

Hi Sam, Thank you for the review. And, Mike and the crew wanted to thank you again for the cooler full of cold drinks and the snacks you provided them on a daily basis. They were much appreciated during that really hot spell. I’m glad you pointed out the crew’s professionalism and friendliness as it is what we pride ourselves on! Thanks again and I hope the basement renovation is going well!

Basement waterproofing

Waterproofed a basement wall before rebuilding the deck. This is my second project with Watertite, the first one was over 10 years ago, no problems. :) The work, as usual was done in a timely manner, well staffed, completed in 2 days. Every step was explained. Rino was on site several times. It's been a year now, no problems. Highly recommended.

Waterproofing

We had problems in the past in our basement and because we are renovating now, we wanted to proactively waterproof the house to make sure it doesn't happen again. Rino was very detailed and patient. The crew was and they were done quickly.

Exterior Waterproofing

The first visit to asses the water problem was thoroughly done. Rino"s estimate as to when the work would start and how long it would last was right on. The five young men who did the job were very professional, started and ended the days at reasonable times, worked hard during the very hot weather and left the site extremely clean. I choose Watertite from a neighbor's reference and I would also recommend Watertite to someone else.

Waterproofing side of house

We had water coming in our basement seeping through the walls for years. After a heavy rainstorm we decided to call watertight. We were past customers. They did great work both times. The crew worked fast and were done on time. We have had no water in the basement since!

More about Watertite Waterproofers

Although dealing with the obvious surface issues such as downpipes, eavestrough's, window wells, grading etc., are the first steps recommended and the ones which are most commonly used, these only mask the symptoms temporarily rather than dealing with the root of the problem. Common sense dictates that you never want water ponding or pooling on the surface against the outside walls, but if it did, it shouldn't end up in your basement. If water or excessive dampness is entering through your basement foundation walls or at the footing level, then you have a serious foundation problem. Foundation waterproofing and restoration of your walls below grade with the installation of a new weeping tile system is really your only proper and long-term solution.

Please remember that unlike in previous generations, basements are now being used as living space rather than just storage or utility space. Basements have become an integral part of homes as they provide much needed and relatively affordable living space unlike additions, which can be cost prohibitive. Therefore, steps need to be taken in order to protect your basement environment as you would the upper floors of your home, should it have a leaky roof. Keep in mind, foundations are what support a house and are vital to its structural integrity.

Unfortunately they have long been neglected, as it was accepted that the basement was a dark, gloomy and musty place. Fortunately, with today's innovative building materials and advanced waterproofing systems, Watertite can offer homeowners a dry basement that will protect your existing finished space or allow you to safely create new living space such as a playroom, office or recreation room without the fear that your new finishes will be water damaged and potentially ruined by mould. Waterproofing your home will give you piece of mind knowing that you have a dry, healthy, livable basement area and at the same time you have extended the longevity and integrity of your foundation walls for many years to come.

Call Watertite for a free consultation before you decide to finish your basement area or if you are experiencing any of the symptoms as outlined in our Do I have a problem section, within your existing finished basement.
