Our Story
BFR has been fixing foundation problems in Toronto since 1967 — three generations of the same family, still running the business today. We specialize exclusively in foundation issues: basement waterproofing, masonry repair, and drainage. We are not general contractors, and we don't subcontract our work out to other companies.
That focus is deliberate. A homeowner calling about a wet basement doesn't need a jack-of-all-trades — they need someone who has seen the same problem hundreds of times and knows exactly how to fix it properly. Our crews hand-dig where it matters, take the time to diagnose the actual cause before recommending a fix, and stay accountable for the result with a 20-year transferable warranty.
“Our name is on everything we do, and we guarantee you will receive the quality service you deserve.”

Why Homeowners Trust BFR

No Subcontracting
Every job is done by BFR's own crew, start to finish — never handed off to a stranger or a call centre.
We Hand & Machine Dig the Job
Our crews take the time to excavate carefully by hand and machine digging where it matters, protecting landscaping and getting a clean look at the actual problem.
