Whether it’s a minor crack or a major foundation issue, our team is here to provide effective solutions.




Signs Your Burlington Home Needs Foundation Repair

Foundation issues can develop over time, and recognizing the early signs can prevent larger problems. Look for these indicators that it may be time for foundation repair in Burlington:

  • Cracks in Walls or Floors: Widening or large cracks in walls, floors, or ceilings can indicate foundation problems.
  • Sticking Doors or Windows: Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows may be due to shifting foundation.
  • Uneven or Sloping Floors: Floors that slope or are uneven often mean the foundation is settling improperly.
  • Gaps Around Doors or Windows: Gaps forming around doors and windows may be caused by the movement of the foundation.
  • Water Damage in the Basement: Persistent basement moisture could indicate cracks in the foundation or poor drainage.
    If you spot any of these symptoms, it’s essential to schedule an inspection with a foundation repair expert.

 

Effective Foundation Repair Methods for Burlington Homes

We use various methods to address foundation issues, tailored to your home’s specific needs. Common techniques include:

  • Underpinning: Stabilizes and strengthens the foundation by extending its depth or width with concrete or steel piers.
  • Slab Jacking: Lifts sunken foundations back to their original position using specialized grout.
  • Helical Piers: Screw-like piers that provide deep support and stabilize foundations, ideal for weak soils.
  • Carbon Fiber Straps: Applied to minor basement wall cracks to reinforce the structure and prevent further damage.
  • Crawl Space Support Jacks: Prevent sagging floors in homes with crawl spaces, stabilizing the foundation.
    Each repair method is carefully selected based on the severity of the problem and the needs of your home.

Common Causes of Foundation Problems

Several factors can contribute to foundation issues in Burlington homes. Common causes include:

  • Poor Soil Compaction: Shifting or poorly compacted soil can lead to foundation movement over time.
  • Water Damage: Excess moisture or poor drainage can weaken the foundation, leading to cracks and leaks.
  • Tree Roots: Large trees near the home may cause the foundation to shift as their roots grow.
  • Flooding: Heavy rains or flooding can disrupt the stability of the foundation, causing cracks and leaks.
    Regular inspections and timely repairs can prevent these issues from becoming more severe.

Benefits of Foundation Repair in Burlington

Addressing foundation issues early on can save you money and protect your home. Key benefits of prompt foundation repair include:

  • Protects Structural Integrity: Keeps your house secure and stable.
  • Prevents Further Damage: Early repairs prevent additional damage to your property.
  • Improves Property Value: A solid, well-maintained foundation increases your home’s marketability.
  • Stops Water Leakage: Fixing cracks reduces the risk of water entering your basement.
  • Health Protection: Prevents mold and mildew growth by keeping your basement dry.

Foundation Repair Cost in Burlington

Foundation repair costs in Burlington can vary based on the extent of the damage and the repair methods used. On average, repairing cracks can cost between $1,600 and $3,200. More complex repairs, such as underpinning or full foundation stabilization, may cost significantly more.

We had a great experience working with Direct Waterproofing on our exterior waterproofing project. Terry, the project manager, was very knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain the situation and the recommended solution. The estimate was accurate and the work was completed in two days as expected.

The two-person crew arrived on time each day and worked efficiently throughout the project. They were professional and the finished work looks very well done. Overall, we're very happy with how everything turned out. Thank you, Terry and Direct Waterproofing Team!

We recently had waterproofing work done in our basement by Direct Waterproofing, and we’re truly so pleased with the entire experience. Terry Lisevych and his crew were not only highly professional, but also friendly, respectful, and clearly took pride in their work. The quality was excellent, everything was completed on time, and they kept the job site spotless from start to finish.

From the very beginning, Terry was reassuring and took the time to explain everything clearly, which gave us a lot of confidence moving forward. He truly delivered on everything he promised, and the results speak for themselves.

What really stood out was Terry’s knowledge, honesty, and straightforward approach—it made the whole process feel easy and stress-free. It’s clear he genuinely cares about doing the job right.

We’re very grateful for their work and would wholeheartedly recommend Direct Waterproofing to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality service.

Excellent service from start to finish. The inspection was very thorough and the technician answered all my questions patiently. The repair crew arrived on time and worked hard the entire day. They were respectful of my property and made sure everything was clean when the job was finished. After the waterproofing work was completed, the difference was immediately noticeable. Even during strong rainstorms the basement stays completely dry.

We had a great experience with Direct Waterproofing. We contacted Terry on January 5 and he came out the very next morning to assess a foundation crack in our 1980s home. He provided a detailed quote later that same day.

Despite very cold weather and snow to clear, Thomas and John completed the repair on January 19 after the utility lines were marked. They did a great job and left the area clean. Terry provided photos taken throughout the repair and a lifetime warranty.

We also used Direct Waterproofing in 2024 for a window well drainage repair and another foundation crack with the same high-quality service. Highly recommend.

Would highly recommend Direct Waterproofing. Terry and his crew were professional, worked fast and did a great job. Fair pricing for interior waterproofing- sump pump and bench installation. Terry took the time to explain all of our questions. We plan to use them again to install a back flow valve.
Just had the back flow valve installed. Terry and team were quick and professional. We would highly recommend and would definitely use again for any future waterproofing needs!

Direct Waterproofing company was amazing. From the 1st interaction, where Greg came to see my basement leak issue, to final day when it was completed. Greg was able to provide a quote right after he inspected the outside and inside the house. Their price was very competitive. They arranged for the "locate service" by City of Toronto. They came when they said they will come. When they discovered that what was under the porch was not what they at first thought, they quickly came up with a second solution, that was still close to the initial quote. The whole activity was lead by Terry. I don't know who the initial crew was, but second crew was Roman and Walter. They worked very hard, and were super careful and tidy. They dug over 25 feet around the front and side of the house, waterproofed the foundation, added weeping tile and cleaned up really well. They also dug a big hole for a sump pump in a tiny space of the furnace room corner without any issues. Now you can't even tell there is a sump pump there. Terry also came a few days later to do some touch ups! They were awesome! I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a great experience and good workmanship!

Walter, Roman, Dima, and Terry from Direct Waterproofing did an excellent job on our exterior waterproofing and sump pump installation. It was a challenging job, as they had to undermine our back extension and work in a narrow alley with little room to move. They were professional, polite, skilled, and hard working. Highly recommend.

I don’t typically write reviews but I’ve had a few experiences with Direct Waterproofing now and wanted to call Terry and his crew out for their great work. They are efficient, clean, and Terry is very communicative and responsive.

DW completed the exterior and partial interior waterproofing on our semi and they were very respectful of the space in always keeping it tidy and clean. And it was nice to have people show up when they say they would and finish on time. Shortly after, we had an issue with dampness in our basement and Terry came out immediately to check on the issue (turned out it wasn’t related to the waterproofing). So when it came time to filling the cement in, I didn’t hesitate reaching back out to Terry versus looking for a different company to do the work. They were able to fit the job in shortly after I reached out and they’ll be coming by again to help reroute my sump pump line. All in all, I wish all other contractors were as responsive and easy to work with as Terry.

I had a water leakage issue in the basement after every rain for the last 2 years, but never found the root cause. This time I contacted Direct Waterproofing. Terry came in and checked and provided in depth plan on how to fix the foundation crack issue from outside. He was continuously in touch with me all these days and made me feel confident with the choice of solution seeing the cost involved (C$2000). And today, TERRY and his 2 very hard working team mates, JOHN and THOMAS, came in and dig the whole soil almost 7-8 feet, did all the treatment and re-filled everything in just 8 hours. I was there watching the whole process, and I can say I felt very satisfied with the hard work they put into this project. The price was worth it, but most importantly I got peace of mind now. I would highly recommend Terry and his team for any waterproofing work. They are very genuine and will not try to sell you unnecessary services. And they also give 25 years warranty.

Terry from Direct waterproofing is one of the best professionals I've met. And I don't say it lightly. We needed a sump pump and backup battery pump + discharge pipe.
Terry took the time to brainstorm ideas on where the discharge pipe should go so we don't cycle back the water into our sump pit.

Before installation he took out a lot of garbage that was in the sump pit. He took out plant roots that had grown from underground.

Terry not only installed both pumps and a discharge pipe but came twice and made sure we got everything needed to receive the city rebate.

After each work was done he took the time to clean the debris as well. This is what I call a true professional. You can tell pretty quickly that Terry really cares about the customer. Would highly recommend. 5 stars!

So happy to be able to write another 5 star review for Direct Waterproofing! The team had done some some work for me a couple of years ago (basement inside waterproofing and installing a sump pump - which has been working fabulously!) and while they were here, they applied some concrete parging around my home to seal the area between the foundation and the bottom of the home. Due to weather it had cracked a bit and when I called Terry to see if they could come back and seal it again he was more than willing to help! Although this is a very busy season for them, Terry himself came and did the job. He was so pleasant and thorough and now everything is sealed up before the winter. And … he did it free of charge! I’m very impressed with Terry and his team. Would highly recommend! Thanks!
