Leaky Basement Repairs in Milton?
Basement leaks are not a new thing in Milton! While most homes don’t have proper waterproofing installed during their original construction, water can still damage and wreak havoc on unprotected foundations, causing structural damage, mold growth, and costly repairs. Usually, two major factors lead to leaks: standing outside water or cracks in the foundation wall. During heavy rain, water can seep through concrete basement walls if no rubberized membrane is applied. Hydrostatic pressure can also make your foundation walls more prone to cracking, so it’s necessary to have a proper defense to resist these forces. Whether you own a residential or commercial building in Milton, effective waterproofing measures are crucial for a long-standing structure.
With the right basement waterproofing company like GJ MacRae, you can safeguard your property and enjoy peace of mind, knowing that your investment is protected by the highest quality foundation repair and basement waterproofing repairs available in the GTA.

A Word from Our Customers
Anthony Brown

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.

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 Milton
01
Firstly, we start by inspecting your basement to identify the source and extent of water infiltration. This includes checking for cracks, leaks, and signs of moisture.
02
In some cases where water is entering through the foundation walls, external excavation may be necessary. We dig around the perimeter of the basement to expose the foundation walls for further inspection and repair.
03
We then repair any cracks, gaps, or damaged areas in the foundation walls using appropriate materials such as hydraulic cement and rubberized membranes. This helps to ensure a solid foundation and prevent future water penetration.
04
Once we finish the foundation repair, an interior drainage system may also be required. The most common inside waterproofing repair is installing interior weeping tile below the basement concrete floor. This system collects water that enters the basement and directs it to a floor drain or sump pump.
05
It may be time to install a sump pump! A sump pit collects water from the interior drainage system. It pumps it away from the foundation wall with a pump, preventing water buildup below the concrete floor and relieving hydrostatic pressure.
06
The inside basement walls may be treated with an interior waterproofing membrane installation that creates a barrier against moisture. This helps to stop water from seeping through the walls and causing damage.
07
If necessary, an interior drainage channel may be installed along the base of the basement walls. This channel collects any water that seeps through the walls and directs it toward the interior drainage system.
08
For added protection, an exterior waterproofing membrane or coating can also be applied to the foundation walls. This helps to prevent water infiltration from the outside, providing a comprehensive waterproofing solution.
