Shield Foundation Repair was recently featured in Business in Edmonton magazine, showcasing the company’s rapid growth, strong leadership, and commitment to protecting what matters most for residential and commercial property owners across Northern Alberta.
Built During Uncertainty
Founded in 2020 by Todd Ivanochko, Tammy Ivanochko, and Tim Willcox, Shield Foundation Repair launched at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. While the timing presented immediate challenges, increased rainfall and a surge in home renovations quickly revealed a growing demand for reliable, high-quality foundation repair services. What began as a three-person team has grown into a company of more than 60 full-time employees working year-round.
Raising the Bar in Foundation Repair
The article highlights Shield’s determination to raise standards in an industry not always known for professionalism. Shield takes on complex and demanding projects that many competitors avoid, including underpinning, basement removal and replacement, structural support work, parkade repair, and heritage home relocation. The company also prioritizes environmentally responsible waterproofing methods, low-VOC materials, and safety-focused processes that protect both properties and occupants.
A People-First Culture
Shield’s success is rooted not only in technical expertise, but also in its commitment to people. The company fosters a strong internal culture where employees feel valued and supported. Shield is also deeply involved in community initiatives, supporting organizations such as Zoey’s Animal Rescue Society, Santa’s Anonymous, and Little Warriors. In addition, the company actively supports immigrant team members by providing settlement assistance, language training, and guidance toward permanent residency.
Recognized Excellence and Future Growth
Shield Foundation Repair’s approach has earned widespread recognition, including a 2025 Consumer Choice Award for Waterproofing and Foundation Repair, BOMA Certification of Customer Service, and a Business in Edmonton Leaders Award. As the company looks ahead, its focus remains on continued growth across Alberta and beyond while maintaining the high standards that have defined its success.
