UNDERPINNING

Some houses have already finished basements, but at the same time a huge variety of houses do not have suitable to live in finished basements. What should homeowners do in this way? Underpinning is a complex project which helps to convert storage under your house into a real living space with high ceilings. For those people who plan to increase the usable space of their home without massive cost of a new addition, underpinning is ideal option. In Acon Reno we understand how important it is for homeowners to increase their living space, without constructing any additions, which are much more expensive then underpinning and remodeling.

WATERPROOFING

Acon Renovations has completed variety of projects in Toronto and GTA: from basement finishing in brand new houses to remodeling in century homes. Common problems for older houses are leaking basements. One of the most widely spread methods to fix this problem is to perform waterproofing from the outside of the house. This procedure prevents storm water from the outside to get into your basement. Hydraulic cement is used to repair cracks in the foundation. Aqua block application is performed to rubberize the surface of the foundation wall. Dimpled membrane installation helps water to drain fast towards weeping tiles. But, if the outside waterproofing is impossible to perform, the inside waterproofing has to be done as soon as possible to prevent water from leaking into the basement, as well stop mold creation.
