FAQ
Cornerstone Waterproofing FAQs
Common questions homeowners ask about working with us, our experience, warranties, and what to expect during your project.
Who will I work with during my waterproofing project?
You'll work directly with owner Saverio LoMonaco from the first inspection through the final walkthrough. Our crews are Cornerstone employees—no subcontractors or salespeople in between. Saverio personally oversees every waterproofing system, foundation repair, and underpinning project we complete.
How experienced is the Cornerstone team?
We've waterproofed more than 2,500+ Toronto basements since 2004. Saverio brings decades of hands-on waterproofing and foundation expertise and personally oversees every project from start to finish. Every installer is WSIB compliant, trained in-house, and specializes in Toronto's older foundations and challenging clay soil conditions.
What kind of warranty do you stand behind?
Most projects include our 20 year warranty covering labour and materials in the areas we treat. Unlike vague "lifetime" warranties, ours is clear, provided in writing, and signed by Saverio. We outline coverage and maintenance responsibilities up front and invite you to call for full details. When a service has different terms, we explain them before work begins.
Do you handle permits and documentation?
Yes. We secure any required City of Toronto permits for foundation work, underpinning, and basement entrances. We keep you updated at every milestone so you always know what's happening on site.
What makes your pricing different from other waterproofing companies?
We believe in honest, upfront pricing. After your free site assessment, we provide a detailed written estimate that breaks down exactly what waterproofing work will be done and what it will cost. No pressure, no bait-and-switch tactics. Many clients tell us they chose us because we were the only contractor who explained waterproofing costs clearly before asking them to sign anything.
Do you do interior or exterior waterproofing—or both?
Both. We assess your specific basement water problem and recommend the right solution—whether that's interior drainage with a sump pump system, exterior excavation and membrane installation, or a combination approach. Some basements only need interior waterproofing. Others require exterior work. We explain the pros and cons of each for your specific situation.
Do you work with commercial property managers and building owners?
Yes. We work directly with property managers, building owners, condo boards, and commercial contractors on waterproofing, foundation repair, and concrete projects for multi-unit buildings, retail spaces, parkades, and commercial properties. We provide detailed quotes, coordinate with building schedules, handle all permits and inspections, and maintain thorough documentation. Our owner-led approach ensures clear communication and accountability—whether it's a single-family home or a commercial building.
What sets your warranty apart from competitors?
Most contractors offer vague "lifetime" warranties without explaining what's covered or what voids it. Our 20 year warranty is: • Clear – We explain exactly what's covered in the areas we treated • Documented – We provide written coverage summaries so you can call for full details and understand what is protected • Honest – We proactively explain what voids it (like subsequent construction or landscaping that damages the work)
