Aquatech Basement Waterproofing

Had a basement flooding last year and didn't know the source of water that cause that flooding. Talked to some other basement waterproofing companies; I asked them to help me to understand the main reason for the flooding before doing any action. They just wanted to sell and install a pump with no logical answer to our questions. I rejected all of them as I plan to spend money on my basement remodelling and didn't want to do before understanding the problem. Finally I called Aquatech and Nico Barbieri came out to take a look the problem. I met and talked to Nico a professional guy that patiently lessened to my story and offered me a camera inspection for no charge to solved the puzzle prior to doing any other action. The day after Nick Feskiv another experienced professional came with camera equipment and did a fully investigation on our basement dewatering system and happily helped me to find the route of the problem and provide the solution.
Next day two hardworking and honest technicians ;Slava and Igor, came to my house and did a perfect job in our basement. They even helped me with other side jobs and made prefect clean up after they completed their job; very appreciated for that Slava and Igor.
I find this to be the sign of a company that is honest and wanting to take care of clients for the long term. I would definitely use them in the future and recommend them to anyone that needs there type of service without question.

Aqua Tech waterproofed my basement a couple years ago. Great job, fair price, no complaints. Unrelated, I recently wanted to run a short length of drainage pipe underground. No one I talked to wanted the job, so I called Andrew and asked if he could help. He remembered me, took the job, and his guys knocked it out in under an hour. Oh and the best part? FREE!!! He wouldn't take any money from me! Considering using a different company? Hire these guys and you'll sleep well, I promise. Thanks again Andrew!

I highly recommend Aquatech for waterproofing. I did a lot of research, and was very impressed with their waterproofing process compared to others. They dug (by hand) to below the top of the footing, cleaned the foundation, parged where needed, trowelled on a rubber waterproofing, applied a fibreglass mesh, then another coat of waterproofing, before attaching a dimpled membrane to the foundation. They then installed a cloth covered weeping tile, backfilled with some stone, and added a horizontal cloth layer before backfilling with the excavated dirt and topping with stone. We also had Aquatech install a sump pump in the basement to discharge the water into the backyard. A separate receipt was provided to get a reimbursement from the city for the sump pump install.

Nico was great to deal with, and didn't come off as a snake-oil salesman. Igor and Jack were very hard working, courteous, and did a great job. The membrane was neatly finished above grade, which was important to me after seeing some sloppy work on neighbours' homes. The guys were able to keep my picky neighbour happy as well, and did a great job on cleanup afterwards.

It's been a month, and not a hint of moisture in my basement. Happy with process, price, and work performed.

In my 35 plus years experience in the construction and engineering industry I have never met a better group of individuals that, in my humble opinion, are the best in the basement waterproofing business.

The best way to describe my dealings with Aquatech and in particular, Anna, Andrew and the construction crew comprised of Igor (the foreman) and Igor (the lead hand) is as follows:

Professional, respectful, knowledgeable, excellent workmanship, extraordinary people skills, punctual, expeditious, down to earth, no pressure sales tactics, excellent communication skills, immaculate job cleanup, excellent workmanship guarantee.

I contacted Anna from Aquatech Waterproofing on a weekend to coordinate a site visit and quote for my mother in law's house. She had experienced some water coming in between the block foundation wall and top of concrete slab in her basement. Since she was planning on doing basement renovations I strongly advised her to correct this water problem as soon as possible.

From my initial contact with Anna I was extremely impressed with her prompt and courteous response. From reading Aquatech's reviews on Homestars, I asked Anna if she could please send out Andrew to provide me with a quote.

I met with Andrew on site and he proceeded to analyze the problem areas with a detailed and thorough inspection inside the basement walls (and outside as well) with a special imaging camera and moisture measuring device. Specific areas were targeted by Andrew that needed to be addressed by means of excavating the exterior against the foundation wall down to the old weeping tile. The old failing weeping tile was replaced and the foundation wall waterproofed and 2 small sized window wells installed.

If you have any concerns about a damp or leaky basement I highly recommend that you contact Aquatech - you will not be disappointed.

Andrew from Aquatech came by today because we have water in our newly renovated basement. He was quick to figure out what was causing the problem and created a temporary solution. He did not charge me for the visit. This was a first for me - imagine a technician who did not charge! We now have a very detailed quote for a full waterproofing of our exterior wall that seems more than fair and after this encounter with Andrew I am confident that Aquatech will do an outstanding job. If only there were more Andrews.....!!!

Andrew described the most thorough solution to my basement leak problem. Of 5 estimates, Aquatech was the most reasonable with a timeline for the job that was most convenient.
His crew, Slava and Bob, worked through 2 wet and cold days. Part of the job involved moving the heavy pavers in a walkway and replacing them after the job was done. They looked better than they had looked before they started the job. If settling occurred 6 months later , Andrew assured me that they would return and reset them. No other companies would do this.
I was very impressed with how they cleaned up the work site and their eagerness to answer any questions I had while they were working. I watched the camera inspection of my weeping tiles to assure me that no other problems existed. Having a transferable warranty is also a plus when I'm ready to sell the house.
Thank you, Andrew, Slava and Bob

Excellent service and unbelievably conscientious and hard-working labourers (especially Ruslan). Nico was prompt with a quote and thorough in his explanations of what was going to be done for almost the the full perimeter of the house, and the work was begun in just a few days. They had to work around a gas line and under a deck (which they even put back together on their own volition) and move large stone stairs. Each day, they made sure the work area was either finished or made safe, and when the work was complete, they cleaned up everything perfectly. They were fast, efficient and very pleasant. Given how costly, disruptive and messy this type of work can be, we were impressed at how well things turned out.

Bob and Slava did my waterproofing. They were on time and very professional. They fixed interlocking which was not part of thier service. Nico also managed to meet my schedule. I do recommend aquatech for waterproofing.

Aquatech waterproofed the exterior of our house and they did a great job. During the entire process (from quote to completion), Andrew (the supervisor) was always available to answer our questions. I was also quite impressed with the two-man crew (Andrew and Andrew). They worked hard and were always professional and polite. Every evening, they cleaned up and made sure that the area was safe so we never had to worry that our neighbours would have a mishap in our shared lane.

Aqua Rech deserves a 10+ rating. Good pricing, fast service and excellent follow up whenever an issue arises. Had three cracks repaired in February 2016 and developed minor subsidence problems. Andrew (Sr. Tech) was here almost immediately and problem fixed within days. Friendly, courteous staff are pleasant to deal with. This company has earned its good reputation.
