Industry Leading Foundation Repair and Basement Waterproofing Services Since 1975

basement-waterproofing-services

Say goodbye to leaky basements because we specialize in basement waterproofing services for below-grade concrete blocks, poured concrete, field stone, and rubble stone foundation walls. With nearly 50 years of service, getting a dry basement backed by the most reliable warranty in the GTA is just a phone call away.

crack-repari-services

Is there a crack in your poured, block, or rubble stone foundation wall, and is this crack allowing water to leak into your basement? Why do interior crack injection methods simply not work? Trust the experts and see why GJ MacRae Foundation Repair carries the most reliable foundation crack repair warranty in the business.

weeping tile system

A century-old technology reborn! Our services also include interior and exterior weeping tile systems coupled with deep insights and experience relating to drainage. Ask us about the difference between interior and exterior drainage methods and enjoy the benefits of our extensive expertise.

window wells

Basement windows are a great natural light source and can act as a designated fire escape, but what happens when window wells deteriorate, clog, and leak? Our hand-excavated exterior window well repair solutions are permanent and allow for guaranteed unimpeded drainage all year long.

sump pumps

Sump pumps and sump basins are integral to all below-grade drainage strategies due to their simplicity, reliability, low cost, and proven effectiveness. Ensure your sump pump, basin, and battery backup system are well maintained and ready for the next significant rain or thaw.

StructuralFoundationRepair

We also specialize in structural foundation shoring, concrete footing and replacement, concrete foundation wall reinforcement and replacement, structural underpinning installations, and all phases of below-grade concrete foundation repair, reinforcement, and rebuilding.

Crumbling Foundations

Are your foundation walls spalling, eroding, or fragmenting? Is this damage accelerating through the years? Stopping moisture penetration through your above-grade concrete structure is imperative. We offer brush parging, s-type, adhesive, mesh, fiber, and thermal-slurry solutions for a lasting barrier.

vibropack-underpinning-services

GJ MacRae pioneered the overflow underpinning method in the Greater Toronto Area. Our underpinning process allows for safe, reliable vertical increases in basement ceiling height that can turn crawl spaces into full living quarters for less cost than a standard second-story addition!

carbon fiber

When your foundation walls begin to show signs of cracking or bowing, it’s generally an indication of severe exterior lateral pressure from roots, hydrostatics, or poorly draining soil. Click below to learn more about our complete carbon fiber foundation reinforcement applications.

From our initial discussion with Dean through to the completion of the project I was most impressed with knowledge and professionalism. We had foundation damage from a tree root and they took the time to explain what was required and the steps involved in rectifying the situation. I highly recommend GJ MacRae for any foundation work you may need.

Honest, courteous, thorough, professional, reliable, on-time, clean and trustworthy. Solved our home’s basement water concerns caused from living on the flood plain (water table). Would definitely recommend GJMacRae Ltd as the company to fix your wet basement. Dean and his crew’s attention to detail solved the various challenges of our 91 year old home.

Dean, came out right away after we noticed water in our basement and provided an estimate. Communication with him was easy and he answered all my questions. Work was done within the week. I had a great experience and will recommend to others.

Gavin and his team did a great job. Right from quoting the job I had confidence they can do the job well and had the experience. Great videos on their website really help you understand what’s involved in foundation repair.

Job was done in 2 days which I was amazed it could be done that quickly! That’s a lot of pails of concrete and rock that had to be shuttled in and out of the house! The guys were all very friendly and let me know everything that was being done and answered all my questions! The bowed wall looks solidly supported now with carbon fibre strapping and the water found beneath the floor is now being safely routed through newly installed Plastic Weeper to our sump. We now have peace of mind that we can finish the basement with no leaks or crumbling walls! Thankyou Gavin, Maggi, Ricardo and Jay!

We would like to express our gratitude to G.J. McRae for the exceptional job they did in restoring our peace of mind. Every time it rained or snowed, our basement would leak, causing us great distress. However, the crew from G.J. McRae arrived promptly, worked diligently, and efficiently resolved the issue. They even left our backyard in excellent condition, cleaning up after themselves. We cannot thank you enough for the outstanding service and for making us feel confident that the problem is now completely resolved. We are so happy to be able to not worry about this any longer.

Workers were on time and professional. Quality and value for money. My only issue was the concrete poured was a little uneven causing a small lip near the drain. We managed to smooth it out. Would highly recommend GJ MacRae Foundation Repair.
