Drainage
Moving Water Away from Your Foundation
Most wet basements start outside. When the soil around a house slopes toward the walls, when downspouts empty right beside the foundation, or when the weeping tile at the footing has clogged or collapsed, water has nowhere to go but against the wall. Toronto adds heavy spring melt, sudden summer storms and soils in many parts of the city that drain slowly, so a small drainage fault can leave water sitting next to your home.
Toronto Roofing & Masonry looks at how water moves across your property before recommending drainage work. That can mean regrading soil so it falls away from the walls, extending or redirecting downspout discharge, or repairing and replacing weeping tile along the foundation. We explain the options that suit your home, show you where the water is going now, and give you an estimate before work starts.

Why choose us
Why Choose Us for Drainage Around Your Home
Water Traced across the Property
We follow the water from the roof edge to the yard so the drainage fix deals with where it starts, not only where it ends up.
Eavestroughs Included
Overflowing or leaking eavestroughs are often part of the problem, and because we handle them too, they can be corrected in the same project.
Paving That Falls the Right Way
Our masonry work means a patio or path sloping toward the wall can be relaid on a compacted base so surface water runs away from the house.
Options Matched to Your Lot
Narrow side yards, shared driveways and tight city lots limit what is possible, so the options we explain are ones that fit your property.
