Fixing Visible Cracks to Stop Water Infiltration and Maintain Structural Integrity.
Redirecting water away from your foundation to avoid erosion and leaks.
Reinforcing foundation walls to address bowing, leaning, or settling, ensuring the overall structural health of your property.
Without prompt attention, foundation problems can lead to extensive damage, including basement flooding, mould growth, and even compromised safety. That’s why our Ottawa emergency foundation repair services are designed to provide rapid, effective solutions tailored to your home’s needs.
Ottawa’s unique climate and soil conditions often contribute to foundation problems. Understanding these factors can help you prevent damage and recognize when to seek emergency repairs:
Ottawa’s cold winters and fluctuating temperatures can cause soil to expand and contract, putting pressure on foundations.
Inadequate drainage systems allow water to pool around your foundation, leading to cracks and erosion.
Sudden storms or seasonal flooding can saturate the soil, weakening its ability to support your foundation.
Over time, soil can shift or compact, causing the foundation to sink unevenly.
Roots from nearby trees can grow into and disrupt the foundation, creating cracks or other issues.
Issues with basement walls, such as cracks or leaks, can lead to significant damage to the home. Wet basements and compromised basement walls can affect the overall structural integrity, reduce property value, and pose health risks due to mould and mildew.
Cracks, whether vertical, horizontal, or stair-step, indicate stress on the foundation. For a detailed guide, visit our Cracked Foundation Repair Ottawa page.
Water pooling in your basement or damp spots on walls often signal foundation leaks. A wet basement is a clear sign that you may need emergency foundation repair.
Difficulty opening or closing doors and windows may indicate foundation settling or shifting.
Walls that bow inward or outward suggest structural pressure that needs immediate stabilization.
Sloping or uneven floors often point to foundation settling.
Persistent dampness in the basement creates a breeding ground for mould, which can spread quickly.
We begin by thoroughly assessing your foundation to identify the root cause of the issue. Our experts look for:

I'm very happy I went with Environmental Waterproofing. After calling a few companies, I chose this company because they sounded more professional on the phone than the others. The advisor they sent confirmed what I had suspected and wrote me a quote. I ended up going with it. They sent a small team to tackle all the work. They were in my house for several days, and they were respectful the whole time. And in the end, it appears they solved my problem. So, while I hope I never have to hire them again, I'm happy I called them, and I am happy to recommend them. Thanks, Environmental Waterproofing!
