waterproofing basement

lots of good things to say: I was around the whole time so I saw that things were done well; Chico was good at working with me and making sure his people addressed my needs; price was great for this job; and finally, we JUST had a big test - lots of rain - and i heard the sump pump going off and not a drop of water in the basement for the first time. More than happy for Chico to use me as a reference.

Waterproofing

We hired Aqua shield after we had a lot of flooding because of issues with our foundation. Chico and his crew were very friendly and did an amazing job. It was a tough job (in summer weather) and they did a great job- haven't had a problem since. Chico is always friendly and available for any questions and is always willing to stop by if there is anything you need to show him in person. The price was very reasonable I would highly recommend them.

basement waterproofing

A very heavy job, digging down six feet under a low-overhead deck, to install external waterproofing of one basement wall. A friendly efficient team that worked well together and were careful of my garden.

Waterproofing

Chico not only did a great job on a rental property of mine, but also helped friends of mine, during the flooding last summer. He is reasonable and professional. During a stressful situation, his work ethic and clean approach was a much needed breath of fresh air.
Thanks

Waterproofing Basement

Chico and his men are amazing. Everyone was very friendly & hard working. The work was completed in a very timely matter. Chico answered all my questions & concerns. His prices are unbeatable and his work is amazing. I had a very damp smelly basement & since aquashield finished, my basement is completely dry & has no smell whatsoever. They take great care in their work & remove all debris. I could not be happier with my experience with Aquashield. I would recommend them (and have) to anyone. Call Chico, you won't regret it!

Waterproofing

I would highly recommend Chico and his crew, they worked hard in -24 weather to fix my basement wall before the snow was able to melt. Chico was extremely reasonably priced and ensured a warranty. The best money I ever spent. Thank you Chico and crew for the amazing job!!!!

Basement waterproofing

Aquashield Waterproofing came highly recommended by our neighbour. When we contacted Chico, he gave us a very reasonable price to waterproof our basement. He was prompt, polite and helpful at all times, as was his excellent crew. Everyone working for the company was friendly and ready to answer any questions we had. They are extremely professional in the quality of their work. They dug down to the footings and fixed our crumbling brickwork before parging and installing a rubber membrane. They also cleaned up thoroughly once they were finished. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Foundation Repair

Chico and his team were great. From beginning to end, they did a quality and professional job at a fair price. I called Chico based on the Homestars reviews. The exterior garage wall had a large crack running from the window casing into the ground. In tight quarters, they excavated down to the footings, repaired all the cracks, waterproofed and parged. The crew was very interested in keeping me up-to-date on the progress at every stage. Every night, the work area was left tidy and clean. Everyone was very accommodating and worked thru some terrible weather with smiles on their faces. The work was done in Oct 2012 and the guys came back this spring as promised after settling had occurred to re-lay the walking slabs and fix some minor issues.

I wouldn’t hesitate to call Chico again or recommend him to others.

Foundation repair

chico and his guys were great. A previous contractor had started a waterproofing job and botched it royally. Chunks of our foundation were falling off. We called several companies for quotes to parge and fix it. Chicos quote was very reasonable and he was the only one who warned us about the worst case scenario (pouring a new foundation wall) he quoted us on best and worst case. He said no one would be able to tell us without excavating. Once the ground was dug up he was able to show us the damage and that our foundation literally crumbled at the touch. We ended up building a new wall up against the old. He then waterproofed and installed weeping tile. They worked weekends to get the work done. We are very happy with the results, in fact we've hired him again to build some concrete steps.

Waterproofing

We have all heard the horror stories. It’s spring. The snow is melting, the rain is heavy and the basement floods. The reasons for a wet, or even damp, basement, can be many. Heavier rainy seasons and milder winters are causing the ground to freeze and thaw several times before spring. This contributes to constant shifts in the ground and wrecks havoc on cracked or weak foundations. As torrential rain downpours become more commonplace, these compromised foundations simply cannot keep the water out. more about wet basements ....

Regardless of the reason for a home’s wet basement, Aquashield Waterproofing will assess each issue and identify the most suitable solution to fix the problem(s). more about Aquashield’s specific waterproofing techniques ...

Foundation Repair

There are many different ways to repair foundations depending on the type of foundation, the source of the problem and the level of damage. In many cases, the foundation wall can be repaired with relatively simple and straight-forward techniques. Depending upon the specifics of the issue and the accessibility of the problem area, repairs can be completed from either the outside or the inside of the residence.

In extreme cases, homeowners may need to consult with a structural engineer to confirm whether a home’s foundation is sound or if the foundation may need to be rebuilt. In other cases, another foundation wall built next to the original will provide the necessary reinforcement.

Each waterproofing and foundation repair company will have its own preferred methods. Typically, however, the solution is simple. Some companies, however, will sell homeowners on extremely expensive methods, technology and materials. At Aquashield Waterproofing we will not complicate things unnecessarily. We will work hard to identify the most effective and cost-efficient solution for your home’s foundation issues. more about foundations & their problems ...
Underpinning

When a basement requires more ceiling height or the foundation needs to be strengthened and stabilized, both can be achieved through underpinning. This process involves carefully digging out small sections of the ground below the existing foundation wall in a 1-2-3 sequence that will add depth and stability. To ensure continued support for the structure, it is not safe to underpin an entire length of a wall in one go. The work must be done in sections. A small section, below and beside the existing foundation is excavated and temporary supports may be installed to support the main weight-bearing walls during this process.

The excavated sections are then filled with concrete to create a new foundation or series of concrete footings beneath the original. This process of underpinning is an effective method to extend the depth and width of support offered by the original foundation. Once the foundation wall is lowered, a new concrete floor can be poured, providing additional height in a basement.
