Vic Rochelle

We had Vic Rochelle out of Kemnay do an interior weeping tile in our house back in 2014? I think it was. It ties into a sump pit. We had gotten significant water in at the footings a few times in the years prior due to the water table being high, and we've had zero issues and absolutely no water since then (even after the rain storm this year, which pushed the water table up to where it would normally flood). I highly recommend him. But, I don't have contact info, sorry. As far as I know, he's still running Vic's Mini-Hoe Service out of Kemnay, and if you google V Rochelle in Brandon he should come up. He does (or at least, did) lots of concrete work.
That being said, we didn't need to have our walls re-skinned as our problem was specifically the footing and poor installation of our existing weeping tile. If you have water penetration through your walls, or if no waterproof barrier exists whatsoever, you probably want to do the exterior ones so they can blue skin it. It costs significantly more, but depending on your problem it might be what you need. The type we did they come in through the basement floor, which means if you have finished basement you have to undo it (in our case, we had to demo most of it anyway due to water damage, so it wasn't a big deal). The exterior type preserves any of your interior finish, but you dig up your landscaping. So you're wreaking stuff either way.
It's pretty unsexy money to spend on your house, but it's well worth it.
