What Shield Foundation Repair Inc. does

Shield Foundation Repair Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned Canadian corporation founded in 2020 and headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta. The company delivers foundation repair, basement waterproofing, drainage installation, and structural concrete services for residential homeowners and commercial property owners across the Edmonton Capital Region and Northern Alberta, including Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Fort Saskatchewan, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Morinville, Nisku, Devon, and Beaumont.

The core technical offering centers on three underpinning methods — push pile, screw pile, and concrete friction pile systems — used to stabilize and lift settled foundations, complemented by exterior waterproofing membranes, enhanced steel reinforcement beyond building code minimums, weeping tile installation and repair, sump pumps, positive site grading, house leveling/moving/lifting, radon testing, and home inspections. Proprietary product lines include Slabsure (foundation monitoring technology), WetSuit (waterproofing system), and BENTOGROUT-based injection repairs using SOPREMA waterproofing materials. The company engages APEGA-certified engineers for project verification and holds COR safety certification, BBB accreditation, and Avetta/ISNetworld compliance for commercial work.

Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven professional services for both residential and commercial clients, with payment plans available to homeowners. Distribution relies on a direct field-sales model in which specialists and estimators conduct on-site inspections, supported by inside sales via phone, email, and website contact forms, plus referral relationships with general contractors. Marketing is multi-channel, combining SEO-driven website content, an active YouTube channel featuring co-founder Todd Ivanochko in Global News 'Ask The Expert' segments, LinkedIn and Instagram presence, annual Edmonton Home and Garden Show participation, and earned media coverage including Business in Edmonton magazine. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; estimator compensation is commission-bearing (5-7% on net profit for residential, 1-2% on commercial) and journeyman carpenter roles are priced at CAD $25-$45/hr with performance bonuses, signaling a scaling sales and field workforce.
