Basement Waterproofing

Excellent job. The crew that worked at my house was great. They did an excellent job of cleaning after a dirty job. PS Chris the sales rep promised me the best boys on his team, and he came through as promised. Thanks!

Foundation Waterproofing

Over the last couple of months we have discovered foundation leaks in two different areas of our house which is about 50 years old. The first time we picked City Wide Group out of the internet. Harry arrived promptly to give us a quote. His crew arrived when promised and did a very thorough job ... on time and on cost. When they were finished they cleaned up and the site looked like nothing had happened there. Harry waited a week before coming back tho collect his payment ... in case there were any issues. When we discovered a second leak on the other side of the house we called CWG again. Chris (Harry's son) came by to quote ... and we had the same excellent experience all over again. They deliver on time and on cost ... and their crews are friendly, hard working and thorough.

Waterproof stone foundation of 90 year old house

CWG did an excellent job to waterproof our 90+ year old house with a stone foundation.

The crew was extremely diligent, friendly, and they cleaned up the site at the end of each day and left it the same as before when the job was done.

Harry personally came to the site several times during the project and for the final inspection. Frank, the crew leader, was great at directing his team which worked so efficiently and effectively that I was amazed at how organized and disciplined they were without tripping over each other.

Harry was very reachable and answered all of my telephone calls and questions. Our neighbor had a concern about the work being done at our house and Harry quickly came over to meet with them and explain how the job was being performed.

Frank and his Polish crew was fantastic and by the end of the project, I was speaking a bit of Polish that I learned from them!

THANK-YOU Harry, Frank and his team for protecting our 90 year old foundation which I am certain will last for at least another 90 years!

What could this company do to improve their services?
Nothing! Just keep servicing your customers like you did for our house.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
When looking for foundation waterproofers, do not let the price be the deciding factor. We had numerous quotes but decided to go with CWG and Harry because he thoroughly explained the process and reassured us that the quality of the work will be second the no one. Another contractor gave us a cheaper quote which looked attractive. However, after asking a lot of questions and getting down to the process of how this contractor was doing the job, it was discovered that they were not going to completely parge our stone foundation and only use an elastomeric rubber spray-on as the waterproof layer under the delta membrane. Harry's team did a great job parging that our 90+ year old stone foundation almost looked like a modern cinder block wall when the work was completed. This is very important for older homes that are built on top of a natural stone walls. Harry confirmed that he has the experience in working with these old houses and that he fully knew what to expect when it came to waterproofing our house., fully parging, and protecting our foundation. TIP for homeowners: ask a lot of questions, learn how the contractor is doing the job, what materials are they using, will they fully parge the wall before the waterproofing (important for older homes), what waterproofing material will they use (elastomeric spray-on or membrane), will they install a delta membrane, how much stone will be used on top of the weeping tile, how will they backfill and tamp the soil, etc. Education and knowledge is key. But with CWG and Harry, he fully explained the process and deliver it as promised to our greatest safisfaction.

waterproofing basement

We have a crack in the foundation wall which leaks whenever there is a heavy rain. My concern with the waterproofing job was that the work on the side of the house meant taking out the interlock pavement and stairs, taing apart my flower bed and putting it back again after work is done. Chris and I discussed the options and set up the date for the work. He estimated the work would be done in three days. The crew actually finished the work in two days, Chris sent out additional crew members to ensure they finish the work as promissed, by Saturday. I specifically asked for this so I can be at home to keep an eye on the site. Jacob, the crew leader explained to me all the steps and called me out to see the progress. I was very happy with the work, profesional, clean and they have done all I asked for. After less than 36 hours, my basement wall was sealed (22 ft long), weeping tile replaced, interlock pavement and flower bed in place, the site was cleaned up and does not even show that we dug the whole thing up 3 ft below the surface. Highly recommend these guys!

Basement foundation waterproofing

Chris at CityWide Group, Inc. was helpful and professional from the first phone call about our basement leak. He answered all questions clearly, quickly returned calls and emails, and was punctual with scheduling. His crews were efficient, quick and very neat, and they dealt well with neighbours. CityWide's quote was in the range of quotes received, and they have proved to be worth every penny. I selected them out of 10 quotes, and highly recommend them. Chris was very good to work with and he clearly knows his job well. Also, we made some changes and adjustments along the way, and Chris was always helpful, informative and accommodating. Thanks, Chris!

Wet basement fix

I purchases a 'newer' house in Ajax approx. 3 months ago. Since we purchased the house, we knew there was a leaking foundation crack that had to be dealt with. We had City Wide come out to give us an estimate before we moved in. We waited a while to have the leak fixed, and just recently had them out to do the repair. I am happy I went with City Wide, as they met, and went beyond my expectations. They were within the range of quotes I received, but felt most comfortable with them.
