The Pickering scheduling window

We aim to complete pre-winter waterproofing on Pickering homes by the last Saturday in October. Book by Labour Day for that window — after that we're scheduling against weather.

Best month to schedule waterproofing in Pickering

Late September through mid-November is the sweet spot: Pickering averages 127cm of snow starting in December, so roof access closes fast. Spring bookings (April–May) are second-best and often 10–15% cheaper.

What breaks in each season

Winter: ice loading on the cap and flashing. Spring: freeze-thaw cracking in the crown from 70 annual cycles. Summer: UV degradation on any exposed sealant. Fall: raccoon and squirrel nesting before the cold snap.

Common questions

What warranty do you offer on waterproofing in Pickering?

Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.

Do you offer same-day waterproofing in Pickering?

Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Pickering for most standard scopes.

Are you WETT and WSIB certified?

Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.

Do you service condos and heritage homes in Pickering?

Yes. Condo boards in Pickering typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.

Is waterproofing covered by home insurance in Pickering?

Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.

Do you need a permit for waterproofing in Pickering?

Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Pickering. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.

When's the best time of year for waterproofing in Pickering?

Late September through mid-November with Pickering averaging 127cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.

What if it rains or snows on the booking day?

Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
