Its own website describes below-grade water work
Found on the company's own pages: sump pump, sewer backup.
Ontario licenses nobody for basement waterproofing, so there is no licence for this site to look up, and it does not verify insurance, WSIB clearance or any warranty a company offers. Nobody here has stood in one of these basements.
