Water in a basement usually starts outside the house. We find where it gets in, fix the drainage and grading around the house, and seal and insulate the walls so the basement stays dry. We are a family company based in Brampton.

This is how homeowners in Brampton usually describe the problem when they call us, and what we do about it.
A musty smell that never goes away, even with the dehumidifier running all day.
We check the walls, the floor, the window wells and the yard around the house before we suggest any work.
It only shows up after a storm or when the snow melts in spring.
New eavestroughs and downspouts that carry the rain away from the house, well past the foundation.
The carpet or the bottom of the drywall gets wet along one wall.
We replace the wet drywall, seal the foundation and rebuild the wall with insulation and flooring made for below grade.
Puddles sit against the house and the soil slopes toward the walls.
We reshape the soil so it slopes away from the house and extend the downspouts past the foundation.
Water collects in the window well and runs in under the window.
A new well with drainage. If you also want more light or a legal bedroom, we can install a larger egress window at the same time.
Nobody wants to pay for a new family room and watch it get wet the next spring.
Insulation and waterproofing go in before the framing. See how we handle basement finishing.
One team does the work outside and inside the house, from the eavestroughs to the basement walls.
We look at where the water shows up and trace it back to the yard, the eavestroughs, a window well or the foundation.
Properly pitched eavestroughs, new downspouts and extensions that send water away from the foundation. We also check the fascia boards they hang from.
We regrade the soil around the house so rain runs away from the walls. More on our exterior work page.
We seal the foundation and repair cracks in the foundation wall and the basement floor.
New window wells with drainage, and larger egress windows for bedrooms and legal suites.
A warm, dry shell on the basement walls before any framing or drywall goes up.
Once the leak is fixed, we replace wet drywall and patch the walls and ceilings.
Four steps, and one person keeping you updated through all of them.
We look at the basement and the yard around the house, and ask you when the water shows up.
Scope, price and schedule in writing before any work starts.
We fix the drainage and the foundation first. Insulation, waterproofing and repairs inside come after.
We check every detail with you before we leave.

Claudio and his team are great at what they do and I wouldn’t hesitate, for a second, to recommend them to anyone who is looking for a great general contractor in the GTA.
My fiancé and I had the pleasure of having Claudio renovate our main floor and roof. While the reno process can be stressful, Claudio was there to help us every step of the way. It was clear early on that Claudio was thorough (spent 2+ hours with us building a detailed project plan, in person, before we signed a contract), communicative (shared updates with us almost daily and always responded to questions quickly), personable (friendly, easy to talk to and explained everything) and an overall fantastic contractor (quality final product and everything was on schedule).
My fiancé and I had reached out to several contractors before deciding to work with Claudio. While other contractors took weeks to respond and estimated 3-6 months before they could even start, Claudio started the project one week after we signed! From signature to completion the project took only six weeks, an impressive feat considering the amount of work we had done.
The new kitchen and living area are both functional and beautiful, Claudio truly turned our vision into a reality. We are extremely pleased with our new living space!
If you are looking for an amazing general contractor in the Greater Toronto Area, look no further – Claudio and the team at CNG Contracting’s the one for the job.
It was a pleasure engaging CNG Contracting. We were fortunate to have Claudio Marcelo Navarro, CEO, spearhead the project. His hands-on approach achieved timeliness, thoroughness, quality and price. Most important is that the work was well within our limited pensioners’ budget. Marcelo understood our needs by providing before and after pictures that passed all scrutiny, including that of the neighbours whose property he had to access. He and his team cleaned up all work area in a most professional manner.
Our senior citizens’ trade discount was built into the total project cost. There were no surprises.
Without reservation, we would hire CNG for our next house/backyard initiative.
I am very very confident to recommend CNG for any area of their business. A few years ago they did a complete basement construction and we were so pleased with everything, we immediately contacted them again, when had to remodel two bathrooms.And they will be returning soon to do work on my front porch.
Here is a short list of what to expect from CNG
1- delivered as promised on time and on budget.
2.- always there to answer any questions and to update on current and next step in construction.You know exactly how work is flowing.
3.- everything professionally done to construction standards.
4. -skilled crew deployed in their area of expertise, to ensure the
highest quality of job is done.
5 – quality material used .
6 – no cutting corners.
7. even after work was done, Claudio returned to touch up something in one bath at no cost, maintenance I should be doing.
8- Hire and enjoy PEACE OF MIND and NO REGRETS.
We hired CNG Contracting to redo the entrance at our church. They did an incredible job, on time and on budget. We are very satisfied with the results. Claudio kept his word and was very helpful, he also provided us with frequent updates during the process.
I would definitely recommend using CNG contracting for any construction needs you may have.
Thank you to CNG Contracting for their professional work in restoring our cracked steps. We are grateful that this has been fixed and pleased with the outcome.
Due to a very harsh winter and over time the cracks were becoming bigger. CNG came in and was able to fix the problem.

Most of the time the water comes from outside. Overflowing eavestroughs, short downspouts and soil that slopes toward the house all push rain against the foundation.
We check those first, because fixing them is often enough to keep the basement dry.
A musty smell usually means moisture is getting in through the walls, the floor or a window well. We find where it comes from before we suggest any work.
Then we fix the drainage outside, or seal and insulate the walls inside, depending on what we find.
Yes. On every basement we finish, insulation and waterproofing go in before the framing so the space stays warm and dry. You can see that work on our basement finishing page.
Yes. We install new eavestroughs and downspouts, extend downspouts away from the walls and regrade the soil so water runs away from the house. We also do landscaping as part of our exterior work.
Yes. We put in a new window well with drainage. If you want a bigger window for a bedroom or a legal suite, we can install an egress window at the same time.
Yes. We repair cracks in the foundation wall and the basement floor, and seal the foundation as part of the job when it needs it.
It depends on where the water comes from and how much work it takes. Sometimes new downspouts and some grading are enough. Other times the walls need work too.
