Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions address water infiltration from foundation cracks, improper grading, and drainage issues. We implement interior and exterior systems including sump pumps, weeping tile, and membrane applications. Each project receives a customized approach to ensure complete water management with our 10-year warranty guaranteeing long-term protection.
Foundation Repair
Specialized foundation crack repair using epoxy injection systems stops water intrusion at its source. Our method includes surface preparation, epoxy bonding, and pressure injection to create permanent seals. We handle both new and existing structures with minimal disruption to property owners.
Sump Pump Installation
Professional sump pump installations create effective water removal systems for basements and crawlspaces. We install complete systems with drainage stone, filter fabric, and properly sized pumps to manage groundwater pressure and prevent flooding in residential and commercial properties.
Exterior Waterproofing
Triple-layer exterior waterproofing systems protect foundations from water damage. Our process combines waterproof membranes, air gap systems, and mastic sealing to create comprehensive protection against soil moisture penetration in both new construction and renovation projects.
Window Well Installation
Custom window well systems prevent water accumulation around basement windows. Our installations include galvanized steel wells, drainage systems extending to foundation footings, and protective membrane applications to ensure complete water management around vulnerable window openings.

Hello all,
Seemed great on the phone when I did talk to someone, but an onsite visit has been delayed multiple times and they have since become non-responsive. Might be worth looking elsewhere for the time being.

I was extremely pleased with the work done by Mike and Dan from BBS Foundation Repair and Waterproofing and would not hesitate to recommend them. They agreed to do a lot of additional work for me that was very helpful and that other companies would not even consider.

We used BBS foundations and waterproofing services and was really impressed. We did couple calls and quote but stopped after weve got a quote from BBS. We finally found a company that understand what we needed and really know what they are doing. Professionalisms and experience resume well this company and their employees.

Called around for a few quotes but ended up using BBS because, Mike, the owner seemed really knowledgeable and professional and provided a very competitive price. Mike and his crew did a great job fixing my foundation and I would highly recommend them.

Had water showing up in my basement after the weather warmed up a bit, contacted BBS and Fab came over to look at the scene. He explained what happened and he was very honest and knowledgeable. Advised what I should do in order to keep the water away from the house. I didn't need any work done so I have not used their services yet but just the overall experience gave me a great impression! Highly recommend! Thank you for your honesty and for taking the time to come over and assess the grounds. Bravo! Top notch customer service

I would highly recommend, BBS Foundation Repair and waterproofing. They quickly booked an appointment to Excavate, for exterior waterproofing, drainage system and interior injections. The men were very professional with immaculate clean up. I had one small leek during a heavy rainfall after repairs and BBS stood by their warranty 100% coming within the hour before the rain stopped to inspect. They booked a second appointment for next day and no more leaks. Professional service with a smile.

With intentions of putting my house on the market, I contacted Mike at BBS about a damp wall in my basement.
Mike made time for me quickly, came when he said he would, did what he said he would, charged what he said he would, and after today's 25mm rainfall, my basement floor remained bone dry. I would recommend Mike/BBS to anyone, and will use him again in the future if I ever need any basement waterproofing done again in the future -- even if I hope I never have to.
