This was the second time I used GreenStream's service. They handled a much larger job late for us last fall and did a terrific job. Crew was polite, professional and hard working! The owners, Manny and Gilbert are the best !!!!
interior / exterior waterproofing
About two months ago we brought in a company to do a mould assessment after noticing increasingly strong mildew type odors in the lower level of the house. The report recommended mould remediation. The company that we contracted to do the remediation discovered (to our horror) that we had six inches of water sitting in the crawl space under the front quarter of our house! We proceeded to research and interview several reputable water proofing companies . To our great relief we met with Stephen Ksiazek owner of The Waterproofer.ca who returned our call within a day. He spent an hour and a half going through what needed to be done to solve this “major” water issue. The job required digging up the whole side of our house to a depth of ten (10) ft to repair, waterproof and install weeping tile to the existing original wall as well as removing the floor in the storage room on the inside of the house to access the crawl space where the water was sitting. They then had to remove the standing water, jack hammer out the cement to install a sump pump, as well as cut out additional cement runs to install additional weeping tile to take away any water that was flowing under the house as we were now below the water table. All of this material had to be removed and carried out of the basement one bucket at a time! Stephen went out of his way to get his top crew on what he described as a “particularly tough job” and to get them started almost immediately. The crew was polite (exceptionally so), extremely hard working and overly considerate of working in our house. The crew installed protective covering on all the exposed floors and stairs , connected a negative air machine to exhaust the dust out of the house and sealed all the working areas in the house. The site was always cleaned at the end of the day and when the project was completed they replanted and staked the twelve (12) ft hedge that had to be removed between our house and our neighbors, they also power washed our driveway and upon leaving you would never know they had been there! We highly recommend Stephen’s company and his crews.
removal,disposal and mould remediation
We had a mould assessment done in our house recently due to persistant odour and mustiness and concern of possible mould. As a result of a positive assessment of both dampness and mould we contacted GreenStream Environmental. It was the best decision we ever made. Manny Oliveira (co-owner of GreenStream)responded to our emergency immediately and had his crew in our house within two days. There were two areas of mould concern that they dealt with quickly and efficiently and then the BIG ISSUE, When preparing the third area of concern for moisture under our crawl space they discovered 4-6 inches of water trapped under the crawl space! Even though this was not the anticipated problem Manny brought in another crew the very same day and went to work pumping out the water which was coming in through a very porous old foundation. The water persisted and he brought his crew back the next day to,once again, pump out the water. His team set up a dehumidifier system to manage the dampness until we manage to get a waterproofing company in the permanately fix the problem.Manny and his crew went above and beyond in terms of effort and time spent to make our place liveable. Everyone involved was polite, professional and extremely sensitive to our stress. Five Gold Stars!!!!!!
