If you get a leaky basement in Calgary, we are here to help. You may notice water marks on the drywall. If the issue is not addressed, it can become a bigger problem very quickly. How do I fix a concrete leak? If a leaking crack does develop in the foundation wall, there are two ways to stop the leak. One is to excavate the exterior, apply a waterproof membrane, and backfill. This is very expensive. Building Works has a system of injecting a urethane grout into the crack using a high-pressure pump. This urethane grout will then cure and expand to 50 times its original volume and form a gasket in the foundation crack, making it watertight. Building Works provides a lifetime leakproof warranty for this work. If you find a leak or crack in your foundation, call us right away. We can fix it before it becomes a big problem, 403 235-5400

The extreme cold weather conditions in Calgary expose homes to many issues. One of the issues is icicles forming in the attic. Are you noticing signs of water damage on your ceilings?
Most contractors would make you think that your roof is leaking but in fact, it's most probably poor attic insulation. When warm moist air leaks into your attic it will cause condensation and eventually mold. On colder days you will see icicles forming in your attic. We will assess your attic to ensure you have the correct R-value and stop your home from losing thermal energy that will save you money in heating! More importantly, keeping you and your family safe & healthy in your home.

Do you have a leaky foundation? Or drafty windows? Mold on your window sills? Is the building envelope failing? At Building Works we conduct Comprehensive Building Evaluations to identify problem areas in all 6 sides of your building. We are able to perform noninvasive thermal inspections using Infra Thermal imaging cameras which detect thermal deficiencies. With Infrared (IR) Thermography, we are able to locate wet insulation, voids, and thermal bridging due to moisture infiltration and energy loss. This allows us to pinpoint thermal anomalies in building materials, which may translate to underlying construction deficiencies or deteriorated building components.
Contact us at 403-235-5400 for a complete assessment of your windows, walls, and foundation.

It's beginning to look like winter this week in Calgary. We see increased incidents of pipe bursts, emergency flooding, and attic rain in the colder months. It is important to winterize your property and now is a great time. Both inside and outside the property. A few steps you can take:-
- Make sure the eavestroughs are clear, draining, and shutting the outside faucets.
- Seal any cracks or gaps around windows and doors to prevent drafts and ice buildup.
- Ensure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are working properly. Replace old batteries.
- Inspect & clean of your furnace to ensure it's running efficiently. Replace air filters regularly to improve airflow and energy usage.
- Know where the water shut-off valve is located in the property in case of a water emergency
- Revisit your insurance policy to make sure you have adequate coverage.
These are a few steps you can take to protect your property as we approach the cold months.
