We have ground water entering our home about a year ago. We had issues with our insurance company getting the work done so we could have the exterior wall looked at for leaks. We had our Contractor recommend Above & Beyond Construction come to our home to assess the damage a what needed to be done. When Andriy came to assess a give a quote he was very courteous and very professional, very knowledgeable in what needed to be addressed. From start to finish Above & Beyond was very professional took care of all the issues that were present and sealed up everything that needed attention. Very helpful in this whole process from start to finish. One of the nicest people I’ve ever had the opportunity to deal with a major problem with our home. Made us aware of the situation and addressed it very professionally and quickly. If anyone who is looking for a great solution to foundation issues and building a great relationship with a homeowner Andriy is your guy.

A friend recommended Above and Beyond Construction Corp to me, so I reached out to them for the underpinning project with interior waterproofing. I’m really glad I listened. From the first meeting, Andriy explained everything clearly and made the whole process feel simple and stress-free. The crew handled the underpinning with great care, kept the workspace clean, and worked very efficiently. The interior waterproofing was done with the same attention to detail — you can tell they take pride in delivering quality work. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. No surprises, solid communication, and excellent results. I’m thankful my friend shared their contact. If you need underpinning or waterproofing, this is the company to call.

I hired Above and Beyond Construction Corp for exterior waterproofing, sump pump installation, and a backwater valve. The entire experience was outstanding. Their attention to detail is incredible — everything was done clean, neat, and professionally. The crew works hard, stays organized, and truly cares about doing the job right. Andriy is very good at explaining every step clearly so you understand exactly what’s being done. Great prices, great service, and a great team. I highly recommend Above and Beyond Construction Corp for any waterproofing or drainage work!

I wrote a crazy long review (sorry ADHD) and now I'm going to bullet point why Above and Beyond are truly excellent - The quote was the quote, so no surprises, no mark up or add ins or nonsense which makes people apprehensive to work with trades - The work was expedited very very quickly. 37ft parimeter completed over two days (3 man crew, 10 hr days) - My old house of course revealed many reasons why water had been coming in (literally brick falling off the foundation). Andriy explained to me the remedy and also showed me the work - Photographed everything for me (although I work from home and saw most of it) for my records - Kept the site area clean and safe and left me with nothing other than a dry, waterproof basement, and complete satisfaction - I'm going to say this like a snob. I work with a lot of trades (I'm a realtor), and what I typically consider a great transaction is the price being what it's supposed to be, the work being the quality and job that is quoted, and that it's left in better shape when all is said and done. Above and Beyond did this so so well. Could not recommend more highly. - One last unrelated item. Our goal was a dry basement, which it is now, however, a great biproduct of having the basement waterproofed that I've already noticed is that the homes general insulation and temperature retention has improved noticeably.

Above and Beyond have been incredible to work with.

We really appreciate their help and will be recommending them wholeheartedly in the future.

Protect your home’s foundation and prevent costly damage. Above & Beyond Construction, your trusted basement waterproofing contractor in Toronto, understands the importance of a stable foundation in maintaining your home’s integrity. Common causes of wet basements, such as heavy rainfall, melting snow, and flooding, can increase pressure on your foundation. If left unchecked, these issues can lead to significant structural damage to your foundation and basement walls, resulting in expensive repairs such as foundation replacement or mould removal.

Factors we Consider before Underpinning

We base our waterproofing services on your home’s unique needs, including foundation repair and advanced drainage systems, to ensure a dry, secure basement. We know that waterproofing isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Several factors influence the best course of action for your property:

The slope and drainage around your foundation affect hydrostatic pressure. We evaluate how water moves around your home and identify the best redirecting method.

Whether your foundation consists of concrete, concrete block, brick, or stone, each material demands specific waterproofing techniques. We possess the expertise to tackle the unique challenges presented by each type.

A weeping tile system is essential for directing water away from your foundation. We inspect, repair, or replace damaged or clogged systems to prevent water accumulation.

Signs You Need Basement Waterproofing

We go beyond simply fixing the symptoms; we identify the root cause. Our experienced team assesses your foundation, looking for telltale signs like:

  • Hairline cracks in the foundation walls

  • Uneven settling or sloping floors
  • Damp or musty odours
  • Visible water seepage or puddles
  • Cracks in drywall or plaster

Benefits of Basement Waterproofing

✓ Reinforce Stability

A solid waterproofing foundation is important for your home’s structural integrity. Basement waterproofing strengthens your foundation, preventing cracks and settling caused by hydrostatic pressure and moisture. By addressing potential weaknesses, you ensure your home remains stable and avoid costly foundation repairs due to water damage.

✓ Prevent Flooding

A waterproof basement acts as a barrier against unexpected flooding. Effective waterproofing eliminates the risk of a wet basement, protecting your belongings and preventing extensive water damage. Our waterproofing services include advanced drainage systems, such as sump pump installation (with backup options), weeping tile systems, backwater valves, and sealant applications, ensuring your basement remains dry even during heavy rainfall.

✓ Better Quality of Health

A damp, untreated basement encourages mould and mildew growth, leading to poor air quality and potential health issues. Basement waterproofing creates a healthier living environment. By eliminating moisture, you prevent the development of allergens and irritants, ensuring clean, breathable air throughout your home and protecting your family’s well-being.

✓ Improve Energy Efficiency

A dry, waterproof basement contributes to better insulation and energy efficiency. Moisture can compromise a home’s insulation, leading to increased energy consumption. Waterproofing your basement creates a consistent thermal barrier, reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling and lowering energy bills.

✓ Increase Home Value

A professionally waterproof basement is a great asset, increasing your home’s market value. Potential buyers recognize the importance of a dry, stable foundation. Investing in basement waterproofing shows proactive maintenance and provides peace of mind, making your property more attractive and increasing its resale potential.

✓ Invest Now, Save Later

Investing in basement waterproofing helps prevent future repair costs and can lead to potential financial assistance. Toronto’s basement flooding subsidy program reimburses up to 80% of the cost of installing a backwater valve or sump pump, allowing you to protect your home while maximizing your savings.

Proactive waterproofing also prevents structural damage, mould growth, and property loss. By investing in our waterproofing services now, you protect your investment and avoid the financial burden of extensive repairs caused by a wet basement in the future, providing you with a sense of security and peace of mind.

FAQ

Basement underpinning is the process of lowering your foundation to reinforce and strengthen it to either correct foundational issues or ensure your basement is up to code. Underpinning contractors dig up the soil underneath the basement so the basement can be lowered. When the soil is removed, additional concrete is poured onto the new surface area, strengthening it and making it more secure. An additional benefit of basement underpinning is that it gives the basement more height, making it more usable and comfortable. Given the complexity of this task, it must be done by qualified and experienced underpinning contractors in Toronto.

The duration of the basement underpinning process depends on several factors, including the size of the basement, the extent of the work required, and the specific conditions of your property. On average, a typical underpinning project can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. However, more complex projects or larger basements may take longer.

The cost of waterproofing your basement will vary based on the method used, the size of the basement, and the scope of the project. But on average, waterproofing contractors in Toronto will charge anywhere from $70 to $350 per linear foot. The average cost for basement waterproofing is $100 per linear foot. It’s important to note that the cost of interior waterproofing and exterior waterproofing differs, with exterior waterproofing costing more. If waterproofing is being done as a result of moisture issues, the extent of the damage will impact the cost. In general, expect to spend between $15,000 — $30,000 to waterproof your basement.

Signs that your basement needs waterproofing might include persistent water stains, damp or musty odors, visible mold or mildew, white powdery residue on walls (efflorescence), and widening cracks in the walls or floor.
