Typical
$367–$588

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.
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."
Response windows across Toronto
Standard bookings inside Toronto: 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
Do you offer same-day waterproofing in Toronto?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Toronto 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.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in Toronto?
Yes. Condo boards in Toronto typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
How much does waterproofing cost in Toronto?
Most Toronto jobs land between $367 and $588. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $955. 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.
Is waterproofing covered by home insurance in Toronto?
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.
How long does waterproofing take in Toronto?
2–3 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you need a permit for waterproofing in Toronto?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Toronto. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
