Building Envelope Repair, Facade Restoration & Waterproofing Services
Protecting What’s Inside Starts from the Outside
Building envelope repair, facade restoration, and waterproofing that extend life, prevent water ingress, and improve performance.
The Everyday Strain on Exterior Systems
From temperature swings and driving rain.
UV exposure, and building movement.
To aging joints.
Cracks in cladding, failed sealants, and water ingress may start small but lead to structural deterioration, mould growth, energy loss, and tenant complaints. Left unchecked, minor failures escalate into expensive repairs and safety risks.
How We Restore The Integrity of Your Building Envelope
We provide targeted building envelope restoration services that stop moisture intrusion, stabilize facades, and restore long-term performance. Our work covers the full exterior system, from sealants and coatings to structural masonry, cladding, and glazing interfaces.

What It Takes to Seal and Stabilize a Building
Every system, detail, and repair method that protects the structure and the people within.
Balcony railing and guardrails are important safety features. Repairs may involve fixing loose or damaged railings, replacing broken parts, or ensuring compliance with safety codes and regulations.
Railings
Curtain wall repairs involve the necessary maintenance, restoration, and renovation work performed on curtain wall systems. These systems, commonly found in high-rise buildings, consist of non-structural exterior cladding designed to provide a protective barrier between the building's interior and the external environment.
Glass Curtainwall
Balcony repairs refer to the maintenance and restoration work performed on balconies to address various issues such as structural damage, deterioration, or safety concerns.
Balcony Repairs
Precast panel and anchor repairs are essential for maintaining buildings with precast concrete elements. We address issues like cracked or spalling concrete from weathering, freeze-thaw cycles, or impact; corroded anchors and plates due to water ingress; panel movement from structural shifts or thermal expansion; and leaking joints that allow moisture behind the panels.
Precast Panel Repairs
Building caulking repairs help maintain the building's energy efficiency, prevent moisture intrusion, enhance air quality, and improve overall structural integrity. It is important to address caulking issues promptly to avoid further damage and potential issues such as water leaks, drafts, or compromised building envelope performance.
Caulking Application
Injection waterproofing is a method used to seal cracks, joints, or voids in concrete and masonry by injecting a waterproofing material directly into the structure. It's commonly used for repairing leaks and preventing water ingress from the inside, especially where external waterproofing isn't possible.
Injection Waterproofing
Upgrading windows and doors to more energy-efficient models can significantly reduce energy consumption and utility costs. Newer windows and doors often enhance the comfort of residents by reducing drafts, noise infiltration, and temperature variations.

Wall cladding and EIFS are not just decorative; they are high-performance components that enhance durability, energy efficiency, moisture protection, and safety, all while providing design flexibility. Properly designed and maintained, they are essential to a building’s long-term value and performance.
Metal Cladding and EIFS Wall Systems
Waterproofing protects the structure from water infiltration, which can cause significant damage over time, increasing property value and lowering maintenance costs.
Liquid waterproofing systems are a popular method for protecting buildings from water ingress. They involve the application of liquid-applied membranes that cure to form a seamless, flexible, and waterproof barrier.
Liquid Waterproofing
Also known as curtain injection or blindside injection is a specialized waterproofing method used when external access to a leaking structure is not possible, like in deep basements, tunnels, or behind retaining walls. Instead of applying a membrane on the outside, a waterproofing gel or resin is injected from the inside, which flows through the structure and forms a waterproof curtain on the exterior face.
Curtain Injection Waterproofing
Water infiltration can cause significant damage to brickwork and cladding systems. Repairs may include identifying and fixing sources of water entry, repairing or replacing damaged bricks or cladding, and improving waterproofing measures to prevent future water-related issues.

Where the Work Comes Together
Walmer Road, Toronto, ON
Canmar is leading Phase 1 of a $2.4 million building envelope restoration at this occupied high-rise, in partnership with Wynspec Engineering. The scope includes:
-
Structural steel welding repairs
-
EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System) installation
-
Exterior wall remediation
Using elevated platforms, crews fast-tracked scaffold access and minimized resident disruption by completing repairs from the exterior. This project highlights Canmar’s ability to coordinate high-scope restorations efficiently while maintaining livability throughout.
