Typical GTA foundations & underpinning prices for Leslieville, July 2026. Each row cites its source.
ItemTypical rangeUnitSource
Exterior waterproofing, as part of a basement-lowering projectNusite prices this only where exterior work is needed; an interior waterproofing system on the same job is $5,000 to $8,000, and the waterproofing line as a whole is $5,000 to $15,000.$10,000$15,000per projectNusite Group (Toronto underpinning contractor)
Structural engineer site inspection / assessmentOpen-ended at the top: SEPCO writes $600 to $1,200+. Covers a site visit, assessment and an optional letter or report.$600$1,200+per visitSEPCO Engineering
Building permit line as quoted by contractorsWhat a contractor bills for the permit, not what the City charges. Nusite lists it inside a $2,000 to $5,000 permits-and-engineering line, alongside $1,000 to $3,500 for the engineer's assessment and drawings; the direct City of Toronto minimum fee is $214.79.$1,000$1,500per projectNusite Group (Toronto underpinning contractor)
Foundation crack repair - structural epoxy injectionDryShield's epoxy tier, for bonding structural cracks where strength restoration is the goal. Same floor as polyurethane, higher ceiling. Neither the $800 floor nor the $2,500 ceiling this guide used to show is on their page.$750$1,500per crackDryShield Basement Waterproofing (Toronto/GTA, 2026)
Bench footing - priced by floor areaBench footing keeps the existing footing and steps the new floor in from the wall, so it is cheaper than underpinning but gives up perimeter floor area. Nusite's timeline is four to eight weeks.$35$60per sq ftNusite Group
Structural engineer hourly rate (Toronto/GTA)An hourly consultation rate for advice only. SEPCO puts Toronto and the GTA at the top of the provincial band, $150 to $300 per hour, for highest demand and fastest turnaround.$150$300per hourSEPCO Engineering
