Foundation Repair in Pickering
We repair foundation cracks and leaks across Pickering, from the older lakeshore streets in Bay Ridges and West Shore to new builds in Seaton. A leaking crack in a poured wall usually takes polyurethane injection. A dry, dormant crack takes epoxy. A block wall that bows less than about 2 in. takes carbon fibre straps, plus a fix for the water pushing on it. Quotes are free and in writing, and the labour carries a lifetime warranty.

Pickering has two kinds of ground, and they stress foundations in different ways. The south end sits on the old Lake Iroquois shoreline plain, where the soil runs to clay near the water and the water table is high under the older streets. North of there, Seaton is built on glacial till that keeps settling after the builder backfills.
The homes differ as much as the soil. Bay Ridges, West Shore, Rosebank, Dunbarton and Liverpool hold much of the older stock, built from the 1950s through the 1970s. Seaton is a new community, and it keeps adding streets of houses.
The full method, epoxy and polyurethane injection and carbon fibre, is on our foundation repair page. This page is about how those repairs fit Pickering's ground and homes. Send the form for a free written quote. We reply within one business day.
Older walls on the lakeshore plain
In Bay Ridges, West Shore and Rosebank, clay holds melt and rain against the foundation wall, and a wall built before modern sealing lets some of it through. Water finds the weak spot: a crack, a tie hole or a tired joint.
A single leaking crack is a small repair. Several leaks along one wall usually means the job is water management, not crack filler. When we see that, we tell you it is basement waterproofing in Pickering, and we quote it that way.
Seaton and newer homes on glacial till
Most poured walls get thin shrinkage cracks as the concrete cures. A hairline under 1/8 in. is usually that kind, and it is common in a new build.
A shrinkage crack becomes a problem when it leaks, grows or opens and closes with the seasons. Polyurethane injection seals a leaking crack and stays flexible as the wall moves. We also check the grading and the downspouts, because water sitting against the wall is usually what keeps a crack working.
Hairline or structural: what our Pickering quote tells you
We measure four things: width, direction, movement and offset. A crack past 1/4 in., one that grows each year, a horizontal crack in a block wall, or one where one face sits higher than the other needs structural attention.
For a block wall that bows less than about 2 in., carbon fibre straps epoxied to the wall hold it where it stands. The written quote names the crack, its cause and the fix, so you can compare it with any other quote.
Straight answers
Who fixes foundation cracks and leaks in a Pickering home?
We do, across the whole city, from the lakeshore to Seaton. Our union-certified crews inject leaking cracks with polyurethane, bond dry, dormant cracks with epoxy, and reinforce bowing block walls with carbon fibre. Pickering sits at the far west edge of Durham, so we book jobs into planned trips and give you a real date, not a same-week promise. The quote is free and in writing, and the labour carries a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the home.
My Bay Ridges basement leaks at one crack every spring. Can you just inject it?
If it is one crack in a poured wall, yes, polyurethane injection is the usual fix. If water also comes in at other spots, the high water table and clay near the lake are pushing on the whole wall, and a waterproofing system is the lasting answer. We look first and tell you which one it is.
Our new home in Seaton has a crack in the basement wall. Is that normal?
A thin vertical crack under 1/8 in. in a poured wall is usually shrinkage, and most new walls get some. Watch it. If it leaks, grows, or one side sits higher than the other, have it looked at. The ground around a new foundation keeps settling for a while, so a crack that changes is worth a visit.
How much does foundation repair cost in Pickering?
We do not publish a price, because the jobs are so different. The cost turns on severity (how many cracks, and whether the fix is a seal or reinforcement), access to the wall, the soil around the home and the season. The free written quote gives you the real number, and the number we write down is the number you pay unless you change the job.
