Our Core Specialty

Complete Waterproofing Solutions

Waterproofing is the foundation of everything we do. From basement waterproofing and foundation crack repair to sump pumps, weeping tile, and roof leaks — we protect Ontario homes from water intrusion at every point of entry. All qualified work is backed by our Lifetime Limited Warranty.

Why Waterproofing Your Ontario Home Is Critical

Ontario's climate is uniquely demanding on home foundations. Spring snowmelt, heavy summer rains, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles throughout fall and winter all create hydrostatic pressure against your foundation walls. Over time, this pressure forces water through even hairline cracks, causing structural damage, mold growth, and costly interior damage. Proactive waterproofing is always more cost-effective than emergency restoration.

Basement Waterproofing

Interior & exterior solutions

Most requested service

A wet basement is one of the most common — and costly — problems for Ontario homeowners. We offer both interior and exterior basement waterproofing systems tailored to your home's specific needs. Interior solutions include drainage channels, sump pits, and vapor barriers. Exterior solutions involve excavation, waterproof membrane application, and drainage board installation to stop water before it enters.

  • Interior drainage systems
  • Exterior membrane waterproofing
  • Vapor barrier installation
  • Crawl space encapsulation

Foundation Crack Repair & Injection

Polyurethane & epoxy injection

Prevents structural damage

Foundation cracks are the most direct path for water to enter your home. Left untreated, they widen with Ontario's freeze-thaw cycles and can compromise your home's structural integrity. We use professional-grade polyurethane foam injection for active leaks and epoxy injection for structural cracks — providing a permanent, flexible seal that moves with your foundation.

  • Polyurethane foam injection
  • Epoxy structural crack repair
  • Interior & exterior crack sealing
  • Lifetime warranty on qualified repairs

Weeping Tile & French Drain

Interior & exterior drainage systems

Long-term drainage solution

Weeping tile (also called a French drain or perimeter drain) is the backbone of a complete waterproofing system. Old or collapsed weeping tile is a leading cause of chronic wet basements in Ontario homes. We install new interior and exterior weeping tile systems with proper gravel beds and drainage outlets, redirecting groundwater away from your foundation before it can cause damage.

  • Interior perimeter drain installation
  • Exterior weeping tile replacement
  • Gravel bed and filter sock
  • Connection to sump pit or storm drain

Sump Pump Installation & Service

Primary, backup & battery systems

Essential flood protection

A properly installed and maintained sump pump is your last line of defence against basement flooding. We install primary sump pumps, battery backup systems (critical during power outages in storms), and water-powered backup pumps. We also service and replace existing pumps, clean sump pits, and install alarm systems to alert you if water levels rise.

  • Primary sump pump installation
  • Battery backup sump systems
  • Annual maintenance & inspection
  • Alarm and monitoring systems
Window well installation with galvanized steel well and drainage gravel

Window Well Waterproofing

Sealing, covers & drainage

Prevents window flooding

Window wells that fill with water are a major source of basement flooding and window seal failure. We install proper window well covers to prevent rain and debris accumulation, add drainage gravel and drain pipes to redirect water away, and apply professional sealants around the window frame and well perimeter to eliminate infiltration points.

  • Window well cover installation
  • Drainage gravel and drain pipe
  • Frame and perimeter sealing
  • Window well liner replacement
Flat roof damage with exposed substrate requiring waterproofing repair

Roof Leak Repair

Shingle & flat roof specialists

Stop interior water damage

Roof leaks are deceptive — water can travel far from the entry point before becoming visible inside. We repair leaks on both sloped shingle roofs and flat membrane roofs. Our work includes flashing repair and replacement, shingle repair, valley sealing, chimney and skylight caulking, and flat roof membrane patching. We identify the true source of the leak, not just the symptom.

  • Shingle repair & replacement
  • Flat roof membrane patching
  • Flashing & valley repair
  • Chimney & skylight sealing

Exterior Grading & Drainage

Slope correction & surface drainage

Addresses root cause

Improper grading — where the ground slopes toward your foundation instead of away — is responsible for a significant portion of wet basement problems. We correct negative grading by adding and compacting soil to create proper slope away from your foundation. We also install surface drainage channels, downspout extensions, and splash pads to manage roof runoff effectively.

  • Negative grading correction
  • Soil grading & compaction
  • Downspout extension & splash pads
  • Surface drainage channels

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Moisture barrier & insulation

Improves air quality & efficiency

An unprotected crawl space is a major source of moisture, mold, and energy loss in Ontario homes. Crawl space encapsulation involves installing a heavy-duty vapor barrier on the floor and walls, sealing vents, and often adding a dehumidifier to maintain dry conditions year-round. This protects floor joists from rot, improves indoor air quality, and increases energy efficiency.

  • Heavy-duty vapor barrier installation
  • Vent sealing & insulation
  • Dehumidifier installation
  • Joist and structural protection

Not Sure Which Solution You Need?

We offer free, no-obligation on-site assessments across Ontario. Our IICRC certified technicians will diagnose the issue and recommend the most cost-effective solution — in writing, before any work begins.

When Prevention Wasn't Enough

IICRC Certified Damage Restoration

When damage has already occurred, our IICRC certified technicians respond fast to restore your property to pre-loss condition. We handle water, fire, mold, storm, and odor damage — with thorough documentation to support your insurance claim.

IICRC Certified — S500 · S520 · S700 Standards
Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification — the global gold standard

Water Damage Restoration

IICRC S500 Standard

When water damage occurs — from flooding, burst pipes, or appliance failures — rapid response is critical. Our IICRC-certified technicians follow the S500 Standard for Professional Water Damage Restoration, deploying industrial air movers and dehumidifiers to fully dry your property and prevent secondary mold growth.

Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration

IICRC S700 Standard

Fire damage extends far beyond charred surfaces. Smoke and soot penetrate walls, HVAC systems, and belongings throughout your home. We perform thorough structural cleaning, content restoration, and permanent odor neutralization using thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators.

Mold Removal & Remediation

IICRC S520 Standard

Mold can begin growing within 24–48 hours of water exposure and poses serious health risks. We establish proper containment, use HEPA-filtered air scrubbers, and follow IICRC S520 protocols for safe, thorough mold remediation. We also address the underlying moisture source to prevent recurrence.

Wind & Storm Damage

Emergency board-up & restoration

Ontario storms can cause rapid structural damage. We provide same-day emergency board-up and tarping to prevent further damage, followed by a comprehensive structural assessment and full restoration — from roof repairs to interior drying and reconstruction.

Odor Removal

Hydroxyl & ozone treatment

Persistent odors from fire, mold, sewage, or pets require professional treatment — not surface cleaning. We use hydroxyl generators and ozone treatment to permanently neutralize odor molecules at the molecular level, providing lasting results safe for residential use.

Customer Reviews

What Our Clients Say

Real reviews from Ontario homeowners who trusted us with their most important investment — their home.

Basement Waterproofing

"After years of dealing with water seeping through our foundation, we called Top to Bottom Seal. They identified the issues quickly and provided a permanent solution. Their warranty gives us peace of mind, and our basement has remained completely dry ever since. Best investment we've made in our home."

S
Sarah Johnson
London, ON
Foundation Crack Repair

"Had a significant crack in my foundation that was letting water in every spring. Top to Bottom Seal came out, assessed it properly, and did a polyurethane injection repair. That was two years ago and it's been bone dry through two spring thaws. Professional, punctual, and the price was fair."

R
Robert C.
London, ON
Sump Pump & Weeping Tile

"Our old weeping tile had completely collapsed. Top to Bottom Seal installed a full interior drainage system with a new sump pump and battery backup. The work was clean, the crew was respectful of our home, and they explained everything clearly. No more wet basement — period."

K
Karen L.
Kitchener, ON
Roof Leak Repair

"Had a flat roof that was leaking into our upstairs bedroom. They found the actual source of the leak — not just the symptom — and patched it properly. No more water stains after the last three rainstorms. Quick to respond, honest about what needed to be done, and didn't oversell."

D
David K.
Brantford, ON
Water Damage Restoration

"Burst pipe flooded our basement on a Sunday night. Top to Bottom Seal was there within two hours. They extracted the water, set up industrial dryers, and had everything dry within days. The IICRC certification gave us confidence they knew exactly what they were doing. Insurance claim was smooth with their documentation."

J
James Wilson
Toronto, ON
Mold Remediation

"We discovered mold in our basement after a slow leak. The team was thorough, professional, and explained every step of the remediation process. They used proper containment and HEPA equipment. The air quality is noticeably better and we haven't had any recurrence. They also fixed the moisture source so it won't come back."
