Crumbling Foundations: Repair Before It's Too Late
So you bought a beautiful century house, and you love it. You love the style; you love the design, the massive wood-burning fireplace, the high ceilings, everything is perfect! But you go to the basement of your old century home, which is made up of stones to give that vintage look. The house’s basement is old, and the previous owner had not taken much time to care for it. The whole basement floods every rainy season, and many cracks are all over the basement walls. The joints in the stone have started to wear out, and water leaks from them. It’s an old home, and no waterproofing membranes are used in the basement. The hydrostatic pressure takes a toll on these walls, causing more and more cracks. The crumbling basement is on the verge of collapse, and you want to act fast. The consequences of not working quickly on the repairs can be severe, and the entire house’s structural integrity is at stake.
Acting fast in these situations saves you from accidents and prevents the expense of thousands of dollars in major repairs. You want to repair your basement but also restore its original appearance. What do you do, and who do you call? That’s where GJ MacRae Foundation Repair comes in.
Crumbling Foundation Repair and Restoration Experts in Toronto
GJ MacRae is a complete basement waterproofing and foundation repair company in Toronto. We are Toronto’s highest-rated repair company for crumbling foundation and basement restoration. We know the importance of restoring the original look and ensuring that the foundation is strong at the same time. Over the decades, we have carried out hundreds of century-home crumbling foundation repair and restoration projects, successfully restoring the original look and strengthening the foundation. We like to combine multiple methods to provide that desired finish to your basement. We perform historical restoration with the help of the stones on the site and natural hydraulic lime mortar. This lime mortar helps restore the original look and provides much-needed elasticity. We refrain from using modern-day Portland mixtures because they are very hard and can cause the fieldstones in between the mortars to crack. These kinds of crumbling foundation restoration need much expertise, and the inability to use the correct products can lead to the foundation walls’ failure in just ten years rather than lasting indefinitely.
We are just the right team for your crumbling foundation repair. Our skilled technicians have vast experience working on century homes and restoring that original look. We embrace the strength of modernity while still being rooted in the beauty of vintage looks. We know what to use, how to use it, and when to deliver that accurate result. You bought that century home because its design was the first thing you fell in love with, and we will restore that for you.
