Weekend and holiday coverage
Saturday standard. Sunday and stat holidays are emergency-only with a documented callout fee that's waived if we book the follow-up job.

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."
Common questions
How much does waterproofing cost in Ajax?
Most Ajax jobs land between $438 and $702. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $1,140. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
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 Ajax?
Yes. Condo boards in Ajax typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
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.
When's the best time of year for waterproofing in Ajax?
Late September through mid-November with Ajax averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you need a permit for waterproofing in Ajax?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Ajax. 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 Ajax?
2–3 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Is waterproofing covered by home insurance in Ajax?
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.
