Foundation Services in Greater Toronto Area, ON
Cracks and settling are serious problems that often appear after construction. In many cases, they’re caused by poor soil prep, weak footings, or water issues that weren’t addressed early on. These mistakes can lead to uneven floors, shifting walls, and expensive repairs that could have been avoided.
Heritage Masonry and Construction provides reliable foundation services in Greater Toronto Area, ON. Our team builds solid bases that support the structure above, not just for now, but long-term. We don’t cut corners during site prep or pour. Every step is planned and checked to avoid movement later.
Our foundation work helps prevent:
- Structural shifting and future crack formation.
- Settling is caused by a weak or unstable subgrade.
- Problems are tied to uneven compaction or footing design.
- Expensive rework after framing or finishing begins.
- Delays caused by unclear prep or unclear specs.
How We Prevent Water and Moisture Problems
Poor water control is one of the most common and damaging issues in foundation work. Without proper waterproofing and drainage, moisture gets in. Over time, this can lead to mold, basement leaks, and even damage to flooring and drywall.
We approach every project with moisture control in mind from the beginning. This includes correct grading, drainage planning, and sealing at the base level, not after the fact. We install drainage systems, apply protective coatings, and make sure the site stays dry, inside and out.
What we do differently:
- Plan a proper slope and drainage before pouring begins.
- Use high-grade sealants and moisture barriers.
- Include a drainage board or weeping tile when needed.
- Check for potential water entry points before backfilling.
- Coordinate with other trades to avoid blocking drainage zones.
Why Builders and Property Owners Choose Us
Understand Local Soil and Site Conditions
Every property in the Greater Toronto Area has different ground conditions, from loose fill to heavy clay. The foundation will shift over time if the soil isn’t properly prepared. Our team knows what to look for before we start. We assess soil type, drainage patterns, and compaction needs to stabilize the base.
Keep the Site Safe and Organized
Messy job sites lead to mistakes and delays. We keep our work clean and organized so other trades can follow smoothly, and the job moves forward without confusion. From excavation to backfilling, every part of the process is planned and carried out carefully.
Build for Real-World Durability
It’s not enough to pour concrete and move on. Foundations must hold up through weather changes, ground movement, and the weight of your home or building. We use proper reinforcement, correct footing depth, and moisture control techniques from the start.
Frequently Asked Questions
If the soil is loose, wet, or has been filled in the past, it likely needs compaction or reinforcement. We evaluate the site before any digging begins.
Yes. Depending on the issue, we build new foundations and also repair or reinforce existing ones with methods like underpinning or crack injection.
We use heavy-duty membranes, sealants, and drainage systems like weeping tile. The exact method depends on the build, location, and soil conditions.
