Basement Waterproofing in Burlington, ON
Leaky or wet basement in Burlington? TCR Pro waterproofs foundations and repairs cracks with a 20-year warranty. Free inspection & quote.
Burlington is built on a slope. Between the escarpment and the lake, rain and snowmelt cross the city through creeks and backyards on their way downhill, and foundations standing in that path take the pressure. Homes on the lower side of a graded street often collect their neighbours’ runoff as well as their own.
Aldershot and the streets south of the QEW include homes now sixty or more years old, while areas like Alton were built in recent decades. TCR Pro has waterproofed and repaired foundations across both since 1998.
Basement waterproofing in Burlington, working with the slope
On older properties, the first thing we assess is how water arrives at the house. If the lot funnels runoff toward the foundation, the repair pairs wall waterproofing with corrected grading, because a membrane alone cannot outwork a yard that drains inward.
The older foundations themselves, mostly block and early poured walls, are repaired with exterior excavation and membrane where access allows. When mature trees or additions block the digging, we build the solution from inside instead, managing water at the footing before it reaches the floor.
Newer poured foundations in north Burlington mostly leak through shrinkage cracks, and interior injection deals with those cleanly. It is a small job when caught early, which is why we encourage people not to watch a damp crack for another season.
How we work
Every project starts with an inspection and ends with a written quote, so you know the method and the price before deciding. We walk the exterior, check where downspouts discharge and look at how the lot sheds water toward or away from the house.
We repair the foundation you have, and in most cases no permits or drawings are needed. Work areas are protected, and we leave the basement and yard clean when we are done.
Our basement waterproofing in Burlington carries a 20-year warranty, a fair reflection of how the repairs are built.
Walkout basements, common on Burlington’s sloped lots, add their own leak points where the full-height wall steps down to the walkout section. We check those transitions and the door threshold as part of the assessment, since they fail differently from a buried wall.
If water shows up at the base of a wall after rain, or a downhill corner of the basement always smells damp, request a free estimate. Emailed photos of the trouble spot get you a quick first opinion.
Frequently asked questions
Every quote starts with an assessment of the actual damage, either from photos you send or an on-site visit. The price depends on the size of the area, the condition of the concrete, access to the site and the repair system required. You receive a written quote before any work begins, and the estimate is free.
The fastest route is to send photos of the damaged area through our contact form or by email. In many cases we can give a preliminary assessment from photos alone, and we arrange a site visit when the job needs one.
We are based in Mississauga and work across Toronto and the entire GTA, including Etobicoke, Brampton, Oakville, Burlington, Milton and surrounding communities. We also serve the Hamilton area, including Stoney Creek, Ancaster and Dundas, as well as Guelph, Caledon and Grimsby. If you are nearby but not on this list, ask us anyway.
Yes. Our work is backed by a written workmanship warranty. The warranty terms are provided in writing with your quote, so you know exactly what is covered before the job starts.
In most cases, yes. Cracks can be injected, spalled and pitted surfaces can be resurfaced, uneven slabs can be levelled and the whole surface can be protected with a durable coating. Repair usually costs a fraction of replacement and avoids demolition. When concrete is truly beyond saving, we tell you honestly before you spend anything.
Interior work such as basement floors, garage coatings, interior waterproofing and commercial floors continues year round. Exterior repairs and coatings depend on temperature and curing conditions, so outdoor work is scheduled around the weather. We can assess your project in any season and book exterior work for the right window.
In most cases, no. Repairing, resurfacing and coating existing concrete does not normally require drawings or permits, which is one of the reasons repair is faster and cheaper than replacement. Structural changes or full replacement can be a different story, and if your project touches that territory we will flag it before work begins.
Payment terms are stated clearly in your written quote before any work starts.
It depends on the size and the system, but most residential repairs are measured in days, not weeks. Coatings and overlays need curing time before the surface can take foot or vehicle traffic, and we tell you exactly how long to wait. Full replacement, by comparison, typically means demolition, forming, pouring and weeks of curing.
Yes. Alongside residential work we repair and coat commercial kitchen floors, warehouse floors, expansion joints, condo balconies and other commercial concrete. The repair-first approach matters even more commercially, because it keeps downtime short.
