Basement Water Leakage Problem in Burlington?
Whether you live in Oakville, Hamilton, or Downtown Toronto, the Greater Toronto Area sees its fair share of rain and snow! That factor, amongst others, can lead to the buildup of groundwater and its attendant hydrostatic pressure that can force water through concrete foundation cracks, damaged concrete foundation walls, and damaged weeping tile systems (and potentially straight into your basement!) These concerns demand careful waterproofing and drainage considerations rarely implemented in residential building envelopes during original construction. This is where GJ MacRae Foundation Repair, Toronto’s leading basement waterproofing company, can help.

A Word from Our Customers
Anthony Brown
2024-04-18
We had a leak from two sources in our furnace room, that occurred after a moderate to heavy rainfall. We hired GJ Macrae to excavate by the outside wall, repair the cracks and protect the wall with a membrane and mesh. Part of the trench had to be dug by hand, due to a gas line, and part could be done by machine. The GJ Macrae team were all very skilled and professional, and completed the job in three days. Now the trench has been refilled with the earth and gravel and it will take some time for the ground to settle. We have had a few heavy rains since the job was completed, and our basement is now completely dry! We highly recommend GJ Macrae!

From our initial discussion with Dean through to the completion of the project I was most impressed with knowledge and professionalism. We had foundation damage from a tree root and they took the time to explain what was required and the steps involved in rectifying the situation. I highly recommend GJ MacRae for any foundation work you may need.

Honest, courteous, thorough, professional, reliable, on-time, clean and trustworthy. Solved our home’s basement water concerns caused from living on the flood plain (water table). Would definitely recommend GJMacRae Ltd as the company to fix your wet basement. Dean and his crew’s attention to detail solved the various challenges of our 91 year old home.

Dean, came out right away after we noticed water in our basement and provided an estimate. Communication with him was easy and he answered all my questions. Work was done within the week. I had a great experience and will recommend to others.

Gavin and his team did a great job. Right from quoting the job I had confidence they can do the job well and had the experience. Great videos on their website really help you understand what’s involved in foundation repair.

Job was done in 2 days which I was amazed it could be done that quickly! That’s a lot of pails of concrete and rock that had to be shuttled in and out of the house!
The guys were all very friendly and let me know everything that was being done and answered all my questions!
The bowed wall looks solidly supported now with carbon fibre strapping and the water found beneath the floor is now being safely routed through newly installed
Plastic Weeper to our sump.
We now have peace of mind that we can finish the basement with no leaks or crumbling walls!
Thankyou Gavin, Maggi, Ricardo and Jay!

We would like to express our gratitude to G.J. McRae for the exceptional job they did in restoring our peace of mind. Every time it rained or snowed, our basement would leak, causing us great distress. However, the crew from G.J. McRae arrived promptly, worked diligently, and efficiently resolved the issue. They even left our backyard in excellent condition, cleaning up after themselves. We cannot thank you enough for the outstanding service and for making us feel confident that the problem is now completely resolved.
We are so happy to be able to not worry about this any longer.

Workers were on time and professional. Quality and value for money. My only issue was the concrete poured was a little uneven causing a small lip near the drain. We managed to smooth it out. Would highly recommend GJ MacRae Foundation Repair.

Our experienced staff and high-quality repair process ensure we always deliver high-quality results.
We offer comprehensive basement waterproofing services for all types of homes, including interior and exterior basement waterproofing, underpinning, crack repair, and much more. Our skilled, expert workmanship produces guaranteed basement waterproofing solutions that last the test of time.
Say goodbye to leaky basements because we specialize in basement waterproofing in Toronto for below-grade concrete blocks, poured concrete, field stone, and rubble stone foundation walls. With nearly 50 years of service, getting a dry basement backed by the most reliable warranty in the GTA is just a phone call away.
Is there a crack in your poured, block, or rubble stone foundation wall, and is this crack allowing water to leak into your basement? Why do interior crack injection methods simply not work? Trust the experts and see why GJ MacRae carries the most reliable foundation crack repair warranty in the business.
A century-old technology reborn! Our services also include interior and exterior weeping tile systems coupled with deep insights and experience relating to drainage. Ask us about the difference between interior and exterior drainage methods and enjoy the benefits of our extensive expertise.
Basement windows are a great natural light source and can act as a designated fire escape, but what happens when window wells deteriorate, clog, and leak? Our hand-excavated exterior window well repair solutions are permanent and allow for guaranteed unimpeded drainage all year long.
Sump pumps and sump basins are integral to all below-grade drainage strategies due to their simplicity, reliability, low cost, and proven effectiveness. Ensure your sump pump, basin, and battery backup system are well maintained and ready for the next significant rain or thaw.
We also specialize in structural foundation shoring, concrete footing and replacement, concrete foundation wall reinforcement and replacement, structural underpinning installations, and all phases of below-grade concrete foundation repair, reinforcement, and rebuilding.
Are your foundation walls spalling, eroding, or fragmenting? Is this damage accelerating through the years? Stopping moisture penetration through your above-grade concrete structure is imperative. We offer brush parging, s-type, adhesive, mesh, fiber, and thermal-slurry solutions for a lasting barrier.
GJ MacRae pioneered the overflow underpinning method in the Greater Toronto Area. Our underpinning process allows for safe, reliable vertical increases in basement ceiling height that can turn crawl spaces into full living quarters for less cost than a standard second-story addition!
When your foundation walls begin to show signs of cracking or bowing, it’s generally an indication of severe exterior lateral pressure from roots, hydrostatics, or poorly draining soil. Click below to learn more about our complete carbon fiber foundation reinforcement applications.
The GJ MacRae Solution
Basement Waterproofing Burlington
01
The beginning step of our basement waterproofing process begins with a thorough initial analysis of your basement. We’ll examine the current condition, identify existing issues, and discuss your concerns and objectives.
02
Next, our experts conduct a detailed inspection to identify the source of moisture and water intrusion in your basement. This includes checking for cracks, assessing the drainage system, and examining potential entry points for water.
03
Based on the assessment and inspection, we’ll develop a customized waterproofing plan tailored to your basement’s needs. This plan will outline the recommended solutions and the steps involved.
04
If foundation cracks are present, we’ll prioritize repairing them. Our skilled technicians will use specialized materials and techniques to seal the cracks, preventing further water intrusion.
05
To ensure comprehensive protection, we’ll address the exterior of your basement, which may involve excavating around the foundation, applying waterproof coatings or membranes to the foundation wall, installing drainage systems, and optimizing grading for proper water diversion.
06
Interior waterproofing may also be an option for repair. We’ll apply waterproof membranes to the interior walls with a new weeping tile system. This creates a robust barrier against moisture penetration and helps to keep your basement dry and free from water damage.
07
We recommend installing a sump pump system in areas prone to excess water accumulation or existing damaged drain tile. The sump system collects water that enters the basement and pumps it away from your home, ensuring a dry and protected environment.
08
Once the waterproofing process is complete, we provide ongoing maintenance and support. We’ll guide you on maintaining your basement’s waterproofing integrity and address any concerns you may have. We aim to ensure long-lasting effectiveness and a dry basement for many years!
