Concrete repair in Merivale
Merivale Road itself is Ottawa's commercial and industrial spine, not a neighbourhood — the actual houses sit in the communities that border it: City View and Crestview's 1940s–60s bungalows, Carleton Heights' original Veterans' Land Act homes, and Trend-Arlington and Craig Henry's Campeau-built 1960s–80s subdivisions.

Commercial aprons and loading pads along the corridor take axle loads a residential spec was never designed for, so we thicken the slab, add proper reinforcement and detail the joints for traffic — work that's genuinely different from anything on the residential streets a block away. Those residential streets split into two real eras: City View and Crestview's pre-1970 homes are mostly solid masonry brick on concrete block foundations, now 55 to 95 years old, while Craig Henry and the later phases of Trend-Arlington switched to brick veneer over wood framing — a different repair approach entirely. Carleton Heights is its own case again: small homes built under the federal Veterans' Land Act starting in 1945, on lots later subdivided piecemeal, so drainage retrofits there are rarely consistent from house to house.
For businesses we work evenings and weekends where it keeps you open, and we sequence pours so at least part of the lot stays usable. On the residential side, City View and Crestview sit in the heavily urbanized Pinecrest Creek watershed, which has a documented flooding history including the Canada Day 2026 storm — worth factoring into any foundation drainage or weeping tile assessment in that specific pocket.
