Everything above ground depends on what sits below it. When a foundation lets in water or starts to move, the effects spread through the whole house, from damp basements to cracked brickwork and sticking doors.
Foundation and Waterproofing Services in Toronto
Goldstar handles the structural and weatherproofing side of foundations. We start by finding out what is really happening, whether that is water entering the wall, moisture building up inside, or the footing itself settling.
Our Foundation Services
- Foundation waterproofing: exterior work, excavating down to the footing, repairing and parging the wall, then sealing it with a membrane.
- Basement waterproofing: solutions from inside, including interior drainage, crack repair, sump pumps and dehumidification.
- Foundation underpinning: strengthening or deepening footings in sections to stop settlement.
Outside, Inside or Underneath
Exterior waterproofing keeps water off the wall entirely and suits foundations with widespread damp. Interior work manages water that does get through, and is useful for isolated leaks or where digging outside is not practical.
Underpinning is different again. It deals with movement, not moisture, so it usually comes first when a wall is dropping, with waterproofing following once the footing is stable.
Built for Freeze-Thaw Winters
Clay ground and repeated freezing are hard on foundations. Water trapped against the wall widens small cracks each winter, while soil movement and frost heave can shift older, shallower footings. Our work is planned around those conditions.
