City of Toronto

## Toronto Districts We Serve

Permits through Toronto Building. TRCA regulates most ravines and valleys.

![Lakeshore Etobicoke home with exterior excavation, pumps and new waterproof membrane](/images/misc/lakeshore-etobicoke-home-with-exterior-excavation-.webp)

High water table + Kingsway infill

## Etobicoke

South Etobicoke sits on sandy soils with groundwater close to the surface, so every dig-out here is designed with drainage and waterproofing from day one rather than as an afterthought.

Mimico, New Toronto, Long Branch, The Kingsway, Islington Village and more

Etobicoke services

![1950s North York bungalow with an excavator in the driveway during a dig-out](/images/misc/1950s-north-york-bungalow-on-a-wide-lot-with-mid-s.webp)

Bungalow dig-outs + infill rebuilds

## North York

North York bungalows have room for machines that downtown lots do not, which makes dig-outs faster and teardown rebuilds common. We also run 24-hour watermain and sewer response for local property managers.

Willowdale, Bayview Village, Don Mills, Lawrence Park, Bedford Park and more

North York services

![Scarborough lot near a ravine edge with an excavator kept back from the slope](/images/misc/large-scarborough-residential-lot-near-a-wooded-ra.webp)

Large lots, ravines + industrial

## Scarborough

Scarborough mixes roomy residential lots with ravine edges and active industrial land. We bring shoring for slopes near the Bluffs and Highland Creek, and heavy fleet for rail-adjacent earthworks.

Guildwood, Cliffside, Highland Creek, West Hill, Agincourt and more

Scarborough services

![East York street of brick bungalows with a hydrovac truck at a front-yard dig](/images/misc/east-york-street-of-1930s-brick-bungalows-and-semi.webp)

Danforth semis + clay laterals

## East York

East York basements are often 6 to 7 feet with original clay laterals under the front lawn. We pair underpinning or a dig-out with a camera inspection of the lateral so the drainage is replaced while the yard is already open.

Leaside, Danforth Village, Pape Village, O'Connor-Parkview, Thorncliffe Park and more

East York services

[East York →](/service-areas/east-york/)

![Victorian semis on a downtown Toronto street with a conveyor running to a soil bin](/images/misc/row-of-victorian-brick-semis-on-a-narrow-downtown-.webp)

Narrow Victorian lots + heritage

## Old Toronto

Old Toronto is where underpinning is hardest and most common: shared walls, heritage brick and side yards a wheelbarrow barely fits through. We plan these jobs around P.Eng party-wall details, conveyor access and a neighbour notice package before the permit is filed.

Leslieville, Riverdale, The Beaches, Trinity-Bellwoods, Little Italy and more

GTA Catchment

## GTA Cities We Serve

Permits through each city's own building department, not Toronto Building.

![Mississauga industrial park with an excavator and trucks building a warehouse pad](/images/misc/mississauga-industrial-park-near-pearson-with-10-t.webp)

Warehouse pads + GC subcontract

## Mississauga

Mississauga is where most of our industrial pad work happens, near the Pearson logistics corridor. We work under the city's own permit process and Credit Valley Conservation rather than Toronto Building and TRCA.

Port Credit, Malton, Meadowvale, Streetsville, Cooksville and more

Mississauga services

[Mississauga →](/service-areas/mississauga/)

![Vaughan subdivision site preparation with a dozer and excavator grading](/images/misc/vaughan-subdivision-site-preparation-with-dozer-an.webp)

Subdivision prep + plant work

## Vaughan

Vaughan work leans to new construction: subdivision site prep, custom-home foundations and plant expansions in Concord, built under the City of Vaughan's permit process.

Woodbridge, Maple, Kleinburg, Concord, Thornhill (Vaughan) and more

Vaughan services

[Vaughan →](/service-areas/vaughan/)

![Markham custom-home foundation excavation on a suburban lot](/images/misc/markham-custom-home-foundation-excavation-on-a-sub.webp)

Custom homes + Unionville heritage

## Markham

Markham lots usually allow full-size machines, so custom-home foundations and knock-down rebuilds move quickly, while Unionville's heritage districts call for the same care we bring to downtown Toronto.

Unionville, Markham Village, Thornhill (Markham), Cornell, Berczy Village and more

Markham services

Straight Answers

## Service Area Questions

### Which areas does Pro Excavation Toronto serve?

All of the City of Toronto, including Old Toronto, East York, North York, Etobicoke and Scarborough, plus the GTA catchment of Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham and Oakville. Industrial and commercial projects can go further across the GTA.

### Do permits differ outside Toronto?

Yes. Toronto projects go through Toronto Building. Mississauga, Vaughan and Markham each have their own building departments, and conservation authority rules differ, with TRCA covering most of Toronto, Vaughan and Markham and Credit Valley Conservation covering much of Mississauga. Our expeditor handles each.

### How fast can you visit my site?

Within 48 hours for planned work anywhere we serve, with a written quote within 24 hours after. Emergency water and sewer breaks in Toronto get a crew on site within 4 hours.

### My neighbourhood is not listed. Do you still cover it?

Almost certainly. The eight area pages cover the districts where we work most, but we take projects across every Toronto neighbourhood and most of the GTA. Call or request a site visit and we will confirm.
