Parging in Uxbridge

Uxbridge is a different kind of service area. You have the older in-town homes near the downtown core, century farmhouses out toward Zephyr and Sandford, and country properties along the concession roads in between. A lot of these places sit on rubble stone or concrete block foundations, and the parge coat protecting them has often been patched over more times than anyone can count. When it finally lets go, it lets go in sheets.

That is the work we do. Toronto Parging & Concrete handles parging in Uxbridge and the surrounding townships on a regular basis. We strip off loose and hollow parge, prep the wall properly and trowel on a fresh cement coat that actually protects the foundation underneath. Quotes are free, most go out the same day, and every job carries our 5-year workmanship warranty.

Parging services we offer in Uxbridge

Most of the calls we get from Uxbridge fall into a few buckets:

• Foundation parging. A fresh cement parge coat over the exposed concrete, block or stone at the base of your home.
• Parging repair. Patching cracks, flaking and hollow spots before water gets in behind them.
• Basement parging. Smoothing and sealing interior or exterior basement walls, including older stone cellars.
• Concrete work. New concrete patios, steps and walkways, poured and finished properly.

Parging is the bulk of what we do, and concrete comes second. If your front steps are crumbling or the walkway has heaved after one too many winters, we can sort that out on the same visit. Rural customers often bundle a foundation recoat with new concrete and knock both off in one go.

Why parge coats fail on Uxbridge properties

Uxbridge sits up on the Oak Ridges Moraine, and properties out here deal with conditions you do not get in the city. Homes on rural lots take the full brunt of the wind and weather, with no neighbouring houses to shelter them. Winter drives moisture into every hairline crack, and each freeze-thaw cycle wedges it open a little more until whole sections of parge pop off.

The housing stock plays a part too. Older stone and block foundations around Zephyr, Goodwood and Leaskdale were never perfectly flat to begin with, and decades of patch-over-patch parge work leaves a coating that is thick in some spots and hollow in others. Converted barns and cottage-style properties have the same problem. Either way, the fix is the same discipline. We remove anything loose or hollow, prep the surface, apply a bonding agent, then trowel on a cement-based parge coat built to handle our winters. Done properly, it protects the foundation instead of just dressing it up.

Catch it early and a repair is quick and straightforward. Leave it and the damage spreads, water reaches the wall itself, and frost widens every gap it finds. If you can see bare foundation, bubbling or white staining at the base of your wall, it is time to have someone look at it.
