Water in Your Basement? We’ll Stop It — Fast.

Do You Need Foundation Crack Repair?

You might if you’ve noticed:
  • Water leaking through the wall or floor

  • Thin vertical or horizontal cracks getting wider

  • Musty basement smell or visible mold

  • Floor lifting or wall bowing

  • Cracks near windows or door frames

  • A damp or humid basement despite running a dehumidifier

We’ll identify the type of crack, find the root cause, and fix it properly.

What Causes Basement Cracks in Toronto?

Whatever the cause, we’ve repaired it before—and we’ll get yours fixed right the first time.

Hydrostatic Pressure

When groundwater pushes against your foundation

Soil Shifting & Settlement

Common in older homes and clay-rich areas

Poor Drainage or Grading

Directs water toward the home instead of away

Shrinkage or Thermal Stress

Concrete expands and contracts over time

Construction Defects

Thin walls, poor rebar placement, or missed expansion joints

Our Basement & Foundation Crack Repair Services

Epoxy & Polyurethane Injection

Best for vertical or diagonal cracks under 5 feet. We seal from the inside using high-pressure injection that prevents further water intrusion.

Exterior Crack Repair

For larger cracks or exterior breaches, we excavate to the foundation, seal the crack from the outside, and apply a waterproof membrane.

Structural Reinforcement

For horizontal or step cracks (often structural), we may install carbon fiber strips or recommend underpinning if movement is detected.

Drainage Solutions

If water pressure is the root cause, we’ll install a French drain, interior perimeter drain, or weeping tile system to divert moisture away.

Waterproofing Add-Ons

We offer sump pump installation, backup systems, window well drainage, and other waterproofing upgrades if needed during repair.

MT Drains & Plumbing Reviews

Simon S.Simon S. ★★★★★ Update on Dec 17 2024:A toilet in our house came away from the floor in a way that broke the flange it was bolted to. I called MT Drains because they had done a fine repair job in our kitchen a few months earlier (see below). Viktoriya in the office was very friendly & helpful in getting us a cost estimate in a timely fashion and setting up an appointment to fix the problem that fit our schedules. We received email confirmation and reminder of the appointment, and a text confirmation on the morning of the appointment itself. The technician, Amir, arrived a few minutes before the start of the window for the appointment, which I always appreciate a lot! He was friendly, polite and professional. He assessed the repair requirements, confirmed the estimate, and completed the job in a timely manner. Amir also cleaned up everything and even took the garbage away with him. Viktoriya followed up shortly thereafter by phone to check that we were pleased with the job, and then sent the invoice to me for the agreed amount. She also confirmed that they received our payment right away. I’ve used MT Drains’ services for plumbing issues before and will happily use them again!The drain from our kitchen sink was leaking near the place where it attached to the sink itself. The reason turned out to be corrosion that was rotting away the place where the drain pipes attach to the sink.Pavel from MT Drains responded to my Trusted Pros posting within minutes, and was able to have a plumber come that very day. Dima arrived within the agreed time frame. He was polite, friendly, efficient and very skilled at diagnosing the problem and making the repair by replacing the corroded parts. He also cleaned up after his work.Viktoriya in the office was also very helpful and professional - the entire operation was fast, efficient, effective, friendly and professional. I will definitely call on MT Drains for any future plumbing needs.Paul A.Paul A. ★★★★★ We are repeat customers of MT Drain Richmond Hill and could not be happier with their services. Our first experience with them involved basement waterproofing, and we have had no issues with it for the past six years, even during periods of heavy rainfall. In addition, they provided us with gorgeous window-well covers that have attracted inquiries from friends and neighbors. Beyond their excellent work, the team is punctual, budget-friendly, and extremely courteous. They also prioritize property protection and ensure that no damage is incurred. Communication is excellent, and they follow up promptly, demonstrating their professionalism.Paul A.Paul A. ★★★★★ For some time, our basement had been experiencing water leakage after rain showers. The issue persisted, and with every passing storm, the leaks became more severe, leaving me feeling anxious. After researching online for a reliable company, I discovered Mt Drains. I reached out to them and was pleasantly surprised by how promptly they responded and came to assess the situation. The technician who attended to us was not only personable but also provided us with the best solution to our problem. The workers who carried out the job were equally professional and friendly, and upon completion, the area looked better than it did before. I am highly satisfied with their services and will undoubtedly recommend them to anyone in need.Mihail M.Mihail M. ★★★★★ Guys did an amazing job , fixing leak in the basement .
