Foundation repair & basement waterproofing
Crack repair, underpinning, weeping tile and full exterior waterproofing for wet basements.
A wet basement is rarely a mystery — it is grading, weeping tile, or a crack, and usually more than one at once. We diagnose the actual water path before quoting, because there is no reason to sell you an excavation when a $600 injection would have solved it.
What this covers
- Poured foundation crack injection (epoxy and polyurethane)
- Exterior excavation, membrane and drainage board
- Weeping tile replacement and sump connection
- Block foundation repair and reinforcement
- Underpinning and basement lowering
- Window well, grading and downspout corrections
How we approach it
Diagnose
Find where water actually enters — interior inspection plus exterior grading and downspout review.
Quote
Options presented cheapest-first, with an honest note on what each will and will not solve.
Repair
Injection, excavation or underpinning as required, with full membrane and drainage detailing.
Restore
Backfilled, compacted, graded away from the house and the site put back the way we found it.
Foundations & Waterproofing across Cambridge
We work in every Cambridge neighbourhood — Galt, Preston and Hespeler — as well as Kitchener, Waterloo, Guelph and Brantford. Housing stock varies enormously between them, and so does the right approach: a 1890s Hespeler mill house and a 2015 Blair Road build need completely different mortar, detailing and expectations.
Reviews
Cambridge homeowners, in their own words
Every review below is from a real job in a real neighbourhood — most within ten minutes of each other.
“They installed a stone fireplace for us and the quality of the work was outstanding. The price was fair and they finished when they said they would. We have had three neighbours ask who did it.”
“The stone walkway was applied so evenly. You can tell the difference between someone who does this properly and someone who just lays stone. Excellent workmanship.”
“Very satisfied with the brick restoration. They matched our original brick better than I thought was possible and cleaned up the site every single day.”
“Detail oriented from start to finish. They repointed the front elevation and rebuilt the chimney, and left the job site cleaner than they found it.”
“Quality work, done right. Our front steps and porch have never looked better. Highly recommend to anyone in Cambridge.”
FAQ
Foundations & Waterproofing — common questions
Exterior stops water before it reaches the wall and is the permanent fix. Interior systems manage water that is already in. We quote both and explain the trade-off.
Most single poured-wall cracks land in the $500–$900 range and take a few hours. We will confirm on site.
No. Estimates are free, written, and come with photos of what we found. There is no obligation and we do not do high-pressure follow-up calls.
Yes — fully insured with WSIB coverage on every crew member. We will send you certificates before work starts, without being asked.
Small repairs can often be fit in within a week or two. Larger builds in peak season (May–September) typically book 3–6 weeks out. Chimney and water-related emergencies get prioritised.
