How we prioritise
Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic waterproofing work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."

Standard bookings inside King: 3–5 business days. Same-day: usually before 2pm if we get the call by 9am. Emergency (water in flue, active leak): 90 minutes on weekdays, 3 hours weekends.
Common questions
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.
When's the best time of year for waterproofing in King?
Late September through mid-November with King averaging 156cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for waterproofing in King?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in King. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How long does waterproofing take in King?
2–3 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
What warranty do you offer on waterproofing in King?
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.
How much does waterproofing cost in King?
Most King jobs land between $403 and $645. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,048. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
Do you offer same-day waterproofing in King?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside King for most standard scopes.
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.
