Fairney And Sons Ltd

I have had moisture in the corner of the basement washroom since I purchased my house just over two years ago. I didn't know if it was the foundation or some other leak but I did worry about mold and dampness.

I called Fairney and Sons. I had a flyer that said they would do a free estimate and Bill came over and had a look. He said that he could waterproof the back wall - that was all that might be necessary but first, since I was worried about mold, he suggested opening up the wall in the bathroom and removing some drywall and using a mold spray. Also looking around for leaks.

Mike turned up the next morning, sent by Bill. As it turned out, after cutting out quite a bit of drywall, it was not the foundation - and there was no mold. But the stack was cracked quite severely. Instead of a large expense of waterproofing the foundation they saved me a lot of money by just finding the real problem and only fixing what needed to be fixed.

As a woman in my 60's, knowing very little about home maintenance they could probably have told me anything and charged what they liked - but they were direct, honest, prompt - did a great job and very affordable. Fixing the stack, removing quite a length of pipe and replacing it with a 2 1/2 ft length of PVC piping and some sort of rubber under it cost $575 and in January - after we know that it isn't going to leak anymore Mike will replace the drywall with new drywall - and the baseboard and repaint - for $250.

I am thrilled!

Bill was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Very happy with the final product/work and would welcome Bill and his team to our home for any future work we need completed. In addition to completing the work, there was no debris left behind. In trusting Bill and his work, I am proud to refer him and happy to report that 2 of my neighbours were pleased with me referring them to Bill. The peace of mind (as a home owner) that comes with knowing that I have found a trustworthy contractor, is priceless. Thank you Bill!

William Fairney (owner & general contractor) was affable, professional, reliable, knowledgable & had excellent subcontractors. He kept on top of it throughout the job, got it completed in the time expected, had great suggestions & kept costs in control. Excellent work!

We have Fairney and Sons do three separate jobs for us in the basement - first, replacing our clay pipes with PVC; second, water-proofing the basement from the interior; and third, leveling our basement floor. On all three jobs, they were punctual, friendly, accommodating and cleaned up after their respective projects. We also found their prices very reasonable. WE would highly recommend them and particularly to people who have older homes as this is their specialty.
