Umbrella Waterproofing, Drains And Plumbing Solutions

basement stack was clogged right below the clean out. All greese! 11yr old home in markham (just bought house last year). I rented and snaked the pipe for over 2hrs with no luck. Then we called another plumber and they also tried snaking for another 2hrs. They seemed to get further but was not draining and they recommended hydro jetting. After calling multiple plumbers with reputable ratings on homestars I ended up choosing Umbrella who's rates where more than half of the price of everyone else's quotes! Bodanna is very professional and knowledgeable as she knew right away what the issue was. She walked me through the procedure and what to expect from the plumber (Vlad). When Vlad arrived he was on time, very careful and clean walking us through everything he was doing. He even used the camera to show us what was being found and how it was progressing at no extra charge! All of the other companies where charging additional $300 to just use the camera! End of the day our problem is solved and we can now use our sink and dishwasher. I will definitely be using them in the future if need be. Thanks Bodanna and Vlad!

I had a ton of water under my newly built deck that would not drain. I was referred to Umbrela and it was a great experience. Bohdana was extremely accommodating with my work schedule to set up a meeting with Vlad and kept me updated. Vlad was very knowledgable and had a great detailed plan on how to drain the water via a French drain system. The workers showed up on scheduled time, completed the drainage system in two days and cleaned up to the point where it looked like nothing happened.

I will definetly use Umbrella again and will refer to friends and family.

Our basement flooded from the window wells during the flash flood. Vlad was very knowledgeable. He checked inside the basement for cracks and moisture level, (there were none); explained the possibilities and areas of concern and gave me a reasonable itemized quote. A guy from another high-rated homestars company came and gave a quote for $8000 saying they would have to excavate the whole side of the house without even taking a look at the condition of the foundation... so glad I didn't go with them!
So grateful that they could fit us in quickly despite their busy schedule. The work was done by two men over a period of 3 days. They dug out the trench, made sure the weeping tiles were working efficiently by sending a camera down them, one of the weeping tiles was completely blocked. They put in a new one at no extra charge which I was so grateful for. They waterproofed the area putting, I believe, 3 different layers of protection. They completed the work leaving the place looking neat and tidy. All throughout they worked very hard and efficiently. I thoroughly recommend this company for your waterproofing needs.
Thank you!

We had Vlad come over to take care of a sewer backup in our basement, which turned out to be an issue with grease building up in the Kitchen sewer stack. Vlad was able to identify and fix the problem quickly, and he was very courteous and professional the whole time.
Will definitely call Vlad again when we have other plumbing concerns.

Vlad, the diagnostic lead is a very knowledgeable individual. He explained clearly what his team would be doing and answered all my questions. Michael and team showed up on time and worked very hard and were very methodical in their approach - removing interlock, excavating, applying hydraulic cement, rubberized bituminous membrane, light poly cover, structural air gap membrane, new weeping tile, video camera inspection, etc.. After interlock re-installed, they cleaned up the area. This is a very professional team (including Bordahna the Customer Service contact) that I would not hesitate to recommend.

The other a friend of mine said his basement was leaking and if I knew any body that could do a great job. So I gave them a name of Umbrella Waterproofing that I used in January of 2014 just after that ice storm we had in Ontario. My house is 58 years old and I started getting water in my basement, It was the original foundation that needed to be resealed. Vlad Bohdana came out with his helper and started digging all around down to foundation. He was very friendly and explained the process to us. After trench was dug they put some coating on wall to seal bricks then after a rubberized sheet all around for extra protection, then filled in hole. Because it was January and ground was frozen. I had to wait till may to reinstall patio walkway in front of house, which they did and was good as new. I was very happy with work they did and was give a 25 year warranty on work. Thanks for a good Job Vlad. John P a fellow Ukrainian

We have a 1890s home in Cabbagetown with probably the original sump pit and a decades old worn out pump. Umbrella filled the 5 foot deep pit with gravel. Put in a proper sealed sump tank and new sump pump and topped it all in with concrete. This was done on a Saturday. And all extremely professionally. I cannot say how nice it is to deal with such true professionals from start to finish. Everyone extremely nice and courteous. Vlad, Bohdana and his workers were great. Cannot recommend them highly enough. They really know what they're doing.

Underpinning a 100 year old Toronto home from 5’6” to 8’ ceilings is a daunting project for any contractor. Our project consisted of underpinning, waterproofing, sump pump and sewage ejector installation, increasing our city water service to 3/4” copper piping, as well as additional plumbing work. With any major project we undertake, we conduct extensive due diligence. For this particular project, we obtained no less than seven complete job proposals. Vlad and Bohdana, of Umbrella, set the tone right from our very first interaction all the way through to the end of the job and many follow up discussions thereafter. Umbrella’s quotation was clear and complete with Vlad answering many questions, providing references and recommending a superb structural design firm. Work started on time and the actual project duration was less than their competitors said the project would take. Umbrella’s trades people were clean, considerate and responsive and Vlad and Bohdana never hesitated to answer the phone or promptly return messages to provide status updates or take instructions. Umbrella’s work passed all city inspections and when the city had questions on one inspection, Vlad promptly provided all required clarifications. I unreservedly recommend Umbrella Waterproofing, Drains and Plumbing Solutions for your basement project.

Vlad, Bohdana and his workers were fantastic. They answered all of our questions and were very professional. Our waterproofing wasnn't a small job and they finished it flawlessly and in 3 days! We are so happy with everything and would use them again. Definitely a company we would recommend.

I had my basement done seven years ago and it is still bone dry today.
We are now selling our home. So, I recently called Vlad and Bodhana to get the warranty transferred and I was reminded of how attentive and helpful they were.
I highly recommend this company.
