Foundation Repair Markham

A home is as strong as its foundation. Soil movement or erosion, or poor drainage can bring about structural issues that may be difficult to come back from. We assess the situation and determine the best process to eliminate your problem before it evolves. From sealing minor cracks to long-term repairs, we have the experience to save your home.

Basement Underpinning Markham

A method to stabilize and fortify a house’s foundation, underpinning involves digging under the house to shore up the structure with support. A new basement floor is poured and that provides more livable space at the same time as it makes the foundation sturdier.

Basement Underpinning Cost in Markham – from $80 per sq ft

Bench Footing Markham

Similar to underpinning, bench footing provides more space by lowering the basement floor. The support from the foundation repair comes from a ledge around the house’s perimeter that holds the foundation. Inside that ledge, the new floor is poured. Less disruptive and less costly, this is suitable for moderate foundational support.

Bench Footing Cost in Markham – from $100 per linear ft

Basement Wall Crack Repair Markham

Careful examination determines where the cracks are located: on the interior or exterior. Interior cracks are filled with an epoxy injection to create a seal. Ground is cleared to access exterior cracks, sealed with hydraulic cement, rubberized asphalt, and covered with a waterproof membrane for added protection.

Foundation Crack Repair Cost in Markham – interior from $600+ per crack, exterior from $1,800+ per crack

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main causes of basement leaks?

Basement leaks are mainly caused by external influences on a house’s foundation. Water pooling from poor drainage, hydrostatic pressure from soil saturation, and plumbing system failures are major causes. While interior cracks or a porous foundation can contribute, much of the damage comes from outside the home.

How long does basement waterproofing take?

The basement waterproofing method, the project size, the foundation’s depth, the amount of damage, and the amount of materials needed to complete the job affect the length of time basement waterproofing takes. Generally, a full interior or exterior waterproofing can take up to 2 weeks. Have us complete an on-site, free estimate to provide a clear timeline.

What are the differences between exterior and interior waterproofing in Markham?

Exterior waterproofing strives to keep water from even reaching the foundations’ walls while interior waterproofing seeks to manage water that has already found a way into your home. For a more complete method to protect your home from water damage, a combined approach offers a full preventative answer.

Is basement waterproofing in Markham worth it?

Yes. A sound and comprehensive waterproofing of your home in Markham will bring multiple benefits. It eliminates water damage from basement flooding, increases the quality of life by greatly reducing mould and mildew growth, and increases the property value of your home for potential buyers.

How much does basement waterproofing cost in Markham?

In general, for interior waterproofing, the cost is approximately $80 / linear foot, and exterior waterproofing begins as $100 / linear foot. These prices are the base point and may change due to various factors. For an overall price for your home, feel free to call for an on-site, free estimate for an accurate, personalized answer.

Can I waterproof the basement in a finished basement?

Yes. Sealants, waterproof membranes and installing a sump pump are effective interior methods. Exterior waterproofing includes digging down beside the foundation, installing exterior waterproofing and possible weeping tiles before covering up the excavation to create full protection and a dry basement.

Can a wet basement be fixed?

Yes. If the situation is minor, you can redirect downspout water away from the foundation, prevent condensation with a dehumidifier, and insulate pipes to stop condensation. If the problem is more dire than can be solved with quick fixes, contact the pros at AquaMaster to find the best solution to fix your problem.

How often should your basement in Markham be inspected?

There isn’t a set time that is recommended for a visual inspection of a basement. If the basement is habitually used, a quick look for leaks, mould, and cracks can be done regularly. After worrying events like a heavy downpour, a thorough inspection for pests and odours as well as of your sump pump is suggested.
