Internal Drainage System

Our team generally requires at least 5 feet of clearance from the wall. It is essential that walls are free from any framing, electrical, and plumbing components. In case of any doubt, consult with your Estimator. Partitions intersecting the repair must have a 12-inch clearance to the foundation. If our team has to clear the area, additional charges may apply for the time and materials used. For the safety of our team, it is important to have a clear path from their vehicle to the repair area. Any obstacles that need to be moved will result in an additional service charge.

Our comprehensive suite of basement repair solutions has helped countless homeowners in Woodstock and surrounding areas in Ontario maintain dry, secure basements.

At DryBasements.com Ltd, we strive to provide as clean a service as possible. We use vacuum attachments to minimize dust and ensure that basement windows can be opened for extraction. However, we cannot guarantee a completely dust-free application due to varying site conditions. To prevent dust from spreading throughout your house, avoid running your furnace or A/C during the work. Cover any sensitive electronics or valuables in the area, and be aware that some debris may not be picked up during our team's cleanup. Our team is not equipped to wipe down surfaces or mop floors but will make efforts to sweep up reasonably well.

As long as our team is notified in advance and provided with sufficient time, we can accommodate this request. A $100 base fee and a two-hour minimum charge will apply. However, we will not remove any framing that we consider to be a structural member. Some items may require removal by a licensed technician such as a plumber or electrician, which we can coordinate. If you are unsure about what items may be in the way, please contact your Estimator for assistance.

Our team takes great care to avoid cutting any utility lines during the repair process. However, accidents can still occur. If a gas line or electrical service is damaged, our office will call in the repair. For cable or telephone repairs, the account holder must call in the repair. Since utility locates have been performed, there should be no charge for these repairs. However, if a private line is damaged (e.g., gas, electrical, phone, sewer, septic, water line, sprinkler system, surface drainage system, etc.), the repair cost will be the owner's responsibility, even if you have informed us of its location. We are not responsible for damage caused by settling backfill after we leave the site.

During any repair involving concrete, there is always a risk of encountering unforeseen problems. For instance, existing weeping tile may be blocked and require cleaning, or older plumbing might be damaged by vibration or movement, necessitating repairs. If any additional issues arise that incur extra costs, your Estimator will discuss them with you. However, if we cannot reach you, the problem will be documented, photographed, and addressed. If work proceeds without your consent as described, we will not continue with said work without consent once it reaches $1,200.

Due to the nature of the repair process, the final appearance might not be as smooth as a newly poured floor. The edges could be somewhat rough, with trowel marks and uneven areas. The BrightWrap may also have some ripples or waves in it, resulting from the manufacturing process and the condition of the foundation. Despite these imperfections, the repair should not interfere with framing the wall afterward.

Our team makes every effort to minimize damage to your property. However, the repair process can be dusty and dirty, requiring repeated walking over the same path. This may result in footprints and worn grass. We use a tarp on your driveway to protect it while mixing concrete, but there may still be small amounts of residue left that you might need to clean up later. Our team will perform a final cleanup after completing the work, depending on the time of day and weather conditions. However, some sweeping, raking, or maintenance might still be required on your part.
