Concrete Forming FAQ
What does a written estimate mean in concrete forming works with Willfix?
When we say that we’ll give you a written estimate — we’re essentially saying that we’re working with no hidden costs and no «surprises». You will literally get a free written estimate that we will follow till the project is done. You know the price before any work even starts, and it remains the same till the end.
How much does concrete forming cost in Toronto in 2022?
Depending on the complexity of your project and the additional elements, the price — in total — is most likely to be between $1,10 and $6,10 per square foot. It seriously depends on the project details and it’s impossible to be sure before the inspection.
How does concrete forming work?
In an oversimplified way, the concrete forming process looks like this: you create a form of the structure you need, fill it with concrete, let it set, and remove the form. The concrete takes its shape and stays like that for decades and decades.
Why do you need professional concrete forming?
There’s truly nothing complicated in the mechanics, people make everything from concrete, from custom planters to cups. You can buy a simple silicon form at a hobby store and try it yourself to understand the basics.
The interesting part starts when your concrete structure should hold tons of weight, support the whole building evenly, withstand temperature changes and be resistant to water damage. To do concrete forming on a big scale, you need blueprints, experts, machinery, and skilled workforce.
That’s when you need professionals like the WIllfix team to do the concrete forming for you.
What does ICF mean?
ICF stands for Insulated Concrete Forms. It’s a technology that allows you to build insulated walls with concrete, and it’s not new: some early versions of it were used back in the WW2 days. ICF is effective, but costly: with similar conditions, an ICF wall will cost around $22-27 per square foot, or 15-20% more than a wooden wall.
Best concrete forming alternatives
Are you sure you need a completely new concrete structure? Maybe the old one can be easily repaired and restored to perfect condition? Depending on your situation, concrete forming may have cost-effective alternatives:
- Exterior Basement Waterproofing
- Concrete Crack Repair
- Interior Basement Waterproofing
- Foundation Crack Repair
- Basement Crack Repair
- Epoxy Crack Injection
- Basement Underpinning
Exterior (and commonly called “external”) basement waterproofing is the way to protect your basement from the outside, so the water does not make it to the inner side of your basement walls at all. It’s a time-tested and reliable solution that the majority of our clients prefer.
Exterior basement waterproofing might be a better option when:
- You have no structures on the outside perimeter of your basement walls and the area can get easily excavated;
- You want to stop the water from even touching your basement walls by applying all the waterproofing materials around them, not on the inside;
- You want to increase your home’s price significantly and rest assured that no leaks will ever occur.
The Willfix team has over 20 years of experience in exterior basement waterproofing and we’re ready to commit.
Concrete in your basement walls was never made to last for ages and withstand the immense water pressure from the soil. The walls bend and bow, deform and lose the structural soundness. The best way to fix the issue is to repair the damaged area.
The Willfix team has over 20 years of experience in concrete crack repairs. We know how to do it right:
- Only top-quality hydraulic cement will be used in the process;
- Seal the cracks efficiently — with no chances of them appearing again;
- Restore the original look of your walls so they don’t look repaired at all.
A concrete crack repair is never the final solution because it doesn’t protect your walls from the groundwater’s degrading effects, but it’s enough to restore your foundation’s original structure.
The key difference is in the name: interior (or sometimes called internal) basement waterproofing means that no works take place on the outside of your basement. Instead, the water that will leak from the walls is channeled away from the basement through a complex draining system.
Interior basement waterproofing might be a better option if
- You have air conditioning, a beloved flowerbed, expensive stone tiles, or other objects next to your house walls that make exterior excavation difficult and expensive;
- You want to have better control of the system, with access to all the elements of it from the inside of your basement;
- You want a more technological and modern system with no loss in quality of your waterproofing.
Willfix experts are experienced in interior basement waterproofing and we’re ready to commit.
You can’t waterproof a foundation that has long exceeded its purpose. Increased humidity, cracks and leaks are major red flags. Even a tiny foundation crack is a threat not just to your comfort, but to your home’s safety as well.
You need foundation crack repair in case:
- You see multiple cracks, unevenness, or slits in wall joints in your basement;
- You know that your house didn’t get a proper renovation in the last 10-15 years;
- You notice moldy small and increased humidity, but can’t identify the source of them.
We have been helping Toronto residents to fix their basements for over 20 years now and have all the necessary certifications for it.
Basement cracks are relatively harmless when small, but the frequent rainfalls, snowy winters, and sometimes — extreme temperature changes can make a small crack expand dramatically overnight.
For every basement crack repair, whether the crack is around the window frame, on the floor, or on the wall — we have a professional solution:
- Epoxy injections for small and hairline cracks;
- Hydraulic cement and sealing for wider cracks;
- Full-scale basement structure restoration for the worst cases.
The only unchanging aspect is the result: you get your problem fixed with no chances for it to appear ever again.
Epoxy crack injection is the fastest and the least expensive way to fix a crack in your basement. It’s one of the most popular wet basement repair methods, but it won’t work with cracks that already leak — only with the ones that are potentially dangerous.
Epoxy crack injection is the perfect option for basement repair when:
- The cracks are tiny and just potentially dangerous;
- The cracks are relatively wide (under ¼ of an inch) but there are few of them;
- The cracks appeared because of poor construction techniques.
Willfix professionals use only high-quality epoxy with commercial-grade ports that leave no chances to the tiniest hollow spots in your basement walls.
When you need to enlarge your living space or make your basement more comfortable — you need floor lowering, not waterproofing. We have a certified engineer to do the drawings and a team of professionals to help you with basement underpinning.
Basement underpinning has multiple benefits:
- Dramatically increase your home living space and value;
- Easily examine and fix the communications or plumbing to avoid future problems;
- Turn your crawl space into a fully functional extra floor in your home.
Willfix has over two decades in lowering basement floors in Toronto. We can add extra 2 feet of height to your basement to make it a truly comfortable and functional area.
