Waterproofing Foundation

City Wide Group exceeds expectations on all fronts. Professional from the moment you call to the moment they complete the job. Pricing rationale is well explained, a thorough and accurate quotation is provided and a hard working, responsible crew executes the job. In and out on time and right on quote. The worksite looked cleaner when they left then when they arrived. Will have no hesitation whatsoever in having City Wide Group do more work on our home when needed.

Wet basement repaired

I hired CityWide Group amongst the waterproofing companies in Toronto because of their experience and professionalism. These traits were carried through from beggining to end. I will use again if I ever need to, and will refer them to friends and family. Thank you for a great job.

Basement Waterproofing

Yesterday City Wide Group completed work to waterproof the basement of our 80 year old home. From our first contact with Harry, to the work crew being onsite, through to seeing the final product - we have been impressed. Harry responded quickly to our request for an onsite assessment and quote, spoke to us in plain language, helped us made an informed decision and made sure the work was done right and within the agreed upon timeframe. For anyone reading this review - know that I have never taken the time to actually provide public feedback in this manner. Our experience with City Wide was exceptional - it truly met our high expectations.

Waterproofing a 43 foot foundation wall to a depth of 8.5 feet and removed a concrete patio

On September 9, 2011 we completed our waterproofing project.
We would highly recommend this company. They listened to our concerns, they worked quickly and efficiently and they were respectful towards us and our property. We felt that they did a super job and so we are providing this feedback. Chris, along with Jacob and his crew made this a positive experience for us and we have no reservation in highly recommending this company.

Water proofing basement, interlocking outside

We had Harry and his crew do some water proofing on our basement and a bunch of interlocking outside.

Great quality work and customer service.

Hope we don't need them again, but would not hesitate to use them if we did.

repairing leaking basement ( two sides of house)

I had another company working in our basement to fix the leaks,they were injecting a solution into the leaks saying this would stop leaking and I did not have to have the basement dug out from around our home.
The injection did not work as they said. In the end I called City Wide Group and Im so thankful I did The men working were so kind and professional, as was the owner Harry Cavan, We are so happy with the work done, I would recommend them 100 percent. Thanks to you all for such a great job.Susan Nolan

Foundation waterproofing

All previous feedback was homestars was right on!! Chris and his crew did a fantastic job. I am very pleased with the quality of work and clean-up performed by his crew. These guys will leave your place cleaner than when they get there. I I had 130 year old home foundation waterproofed. While we ran into some unexpected work, Chris worked with me to make sure that my concerns were all addressed. His crew even did additional work that was not in scope (filled a trench that I previously dug) It is very important to let Chris know right away when you have any concerns as he will do fantastic job managing your expectations.

Foundation Waterproofing

Over the last couple of months we have discovered foundation leaks in two different areas of our house which is about 50 years old. The first time we picked City Wide Group out of the internet. Harry arrived promptly to give us a quote. His crew arrived when promised and did a very thorough job ... on time and on cost. When they were finished they cleaned up and the site looked like nothing had happened there. Harry waited a week before coming back tho collect his payment ... in case there were any issues. When we discovered a second leak on the other side of the house we called CWG again. Chris (Harry's son) came by to quote ... and we had the same excellent experience all over again. They deliver on time and on cost ... and their crews are friendly, hard working and thorough.

Waterproof stone foundation of 90 year old house

CWG did an excellent job to waterproof our 90+ year old house with a stone foundation.

The crew was extremely diligent, friendly, and they cleaned up the site at the end of each day and left it the same as before when the job was done.

Harry personally came to the site several times during the project and for the final inspection. Frank, the crew leader, was great at directing his team which worked so efficiently and effectively that I was amazed at how organized and disciplined they were without tripping over each other.

Harry was very reachable and answered all of my telephone calls and questions. Our neighbor had a concern about the work being done at our house and Harry quickly came over to meet with them and explain how the job was being performed.

Frank and his Polish crew was fantastic and by the end of the project, I was speaking a bit of Polish that I learned from them!

THANK-YOU Harry, Frank and his team for protecting our 90 year old foundation which I am certain will last for at least another 90 years!

What could this company do to improve their services?
Nothing! Just keep servicing your customers like you did for our house.
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
When looking for foundation waterproofers, do not let the price be the deciding factor. We had numerous quotes but decided to go with CWG and Harry because he thoroughly explained the process and reassured us that the quality of the work will be second the no one. Another contractor gave us a cheaper quote which looked attractive. However, after asking a lot of questions and getting down to the process of how this contractor was doing the job, it was discovered that they were not going to completely parge our stone foundation and only use an elastomeric rubber spray-on as the waterproof layer under the delta membrane. Harry's team did a great job parging that our 90+ year old stone foundation almost looked like a modern cinder block wall when the work was completed. This is very important for older homes that are built on top of a natural stone walls. Harry confirmed that he has the experience in working with these old houses and that he fully knew what to expect when it came to waterproofing our house., fully parging, and protecting our foundation. TIP for homeowners: ask a lot of questions, learn how the contractor is doing the job, what materials are they using, will they fully parge the wall before the waterproofing (important for older homes), what waterproofing material will they use (elastomeric spray-on or membrane), will they install a delta membrane, how much stone will be used on top of the weeping tile, how will they backfill and tamp the soil, etc. Education and knowledge is key. But with CWG and Harry, he fully explained the process and deliver it as promised to our greatest safisfaction.
