Foundation repair and water proofing

We called a few companies to quote for a water proofing and foundation repair. We are surprised that the work that Aquashield did was prompt and did a fantastic job of repairing an old home with a attention to detail. The scope of work included new retaining wall, weeping tile, membrane, sumpump and finished with a new concrete walkway. We would recommend Chico to our mother, They are that good.

Basement Leak.

We had a leak in the basement right after the big snowstorm.
Read previous reviews and called Chico.
Chico came and had a look. Very professional and polite.
Chico and his team were punctual, they fixed the problem and their rates are very reasonable and affordable.
Would definitely recommend to others.

Basement Waterproofing

I have a baby on the way when suddenly there is a leak in the basement. My biggest fear was mold settling in. I got 4-5 quotes on waterproofing that were insanely high. The price I was given didn't include the fact that I would have to remove my deck and air conditioner. Then a friend gives me Chico's number. Man, Chico is an angel...he quoted my close to $8000 lower and I wouldn't have to take apart my deck. Their guys tunnel under. The job was done in less than 3 weeks and evrything was left looking amazing. Chico and the people at Aqua Shield did a great job and I cannot thank them enough. I definitely recommend these guys, get a quote from them you will not be disappointed. Thank you again.

Waterproofing Basement (exterior)

Shortly after we moved into our house I discovered puddles of water in the basement after the first heavy rain. I called Chico based on a recommendation from another contractor I had used for another job. Chico arrived within an hour and told me what he thought needed to be done. He gave me a quote and considering the scope of the work, it seemed totally reasonable so I gave him the go-ahead (even though he encouraged me to get other quotes and opinions). His crew arrived about a week or so later and worked pretty much seven days a week for around four weeks excavating the entire perimeter of the house down to the footing. They parged the concrete, put on a rubberized coating and another protective membrane to send the water to the newly installed weeping tile. There were a few glitches along the way but Chico was very attentive and made sure we were happy with how things were being handled. His brother, Rico, was onsite most days and I was really impressed with his desire to do everything the right way. Rico and the rest of the crew were just amazing.

We've dealt with many contractors since we moved into the house and they've all been really good. With few exceptions we've had no complaints. Aquashield is a step above. If you want your basement waterproofed, want it done right and want it done at a reasonable price, these are the guys you want to call.

installed sub pump

Chico was punctual, polite and accommodating as well as having completed he job on time and with minimal disruption.

He also pointed out a rebate that we were eligible for which helped tremendously with the overall cost.

Great job!

Basement Waterproofing

I too had a very leaky basement and Chico was referred to me by another very satisfied customer. His quote was more than reasonable based on the fact that another well known contractor quoted twice as much. Chico and his company did an excellent job, were very friendly and happy workers. I have given their name/number to a few friends with the highest of recommendations.

Waterproofing outside of home

Chico and his team were lifesavers!
I had this job priced with another company and not only did they price it out of proportion but aggravated both my tenant and me with the 'degree of difficulty' it was going to require. Chico and his team not only were able to handle the job, they never complained, kept me and my tenant aware of delays due to weather conditions AND he did it with a smile. Great guy, a real pro and well done. I would highly recommend him.

cementing, sealing and waterproofing floor and walls

I would absolutely recommend Aquashield Waterproofing to anyone who demands to work with people who are genuine, professional and most-importantly, impeccable! Chico Umengan, the owner made sure that the job was done professionally and in a timely manner! I had this particular job done previously by another contractor and it was not properly repaired. Chico and Aquashield Waterproofing found the solution to my problem and fixed it so well, leaving the work area clean and clear of any construction clutter. Aquashield Waterproofing respected my property and concerns all around, with the utmost care, making it a unique example of a job well done.

Waterproofing

We had some problems with water leaking into our basement and Chico's team did an excellent job of repairing the foundation and doing a complete waterproofing job. We had the work done earlier this summer and haven't had any problems since, even with a couple very heavy rainstorms.

Chico's team was friendly, great with our neighbours and even worked over a long weekend to get the job done. I felt that their prices were very fair as well. I would recommend Aquashield to anyone.

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.
