What we see most in Ottawa (core)

In the core the problem is rarely the slab on top; it's what happens where a century-old foundation meets modern runoff. We spend most of our downtown days on interior crack injection, parging over old stone and block, and rebuilding front steps that were poured directly on soil with no frost base at all. Because so many of these homes share a wall or a lane, we plan the repair around what can physically reach the work.

Access is the real variable here. Narrow driveways, on-street permit parking and rear laneways mean small-equipment work, wheelbarrow pours and material staged in stages — we quote that honestly instead of pricing a suburban job and adding surprises later.

Most requested in Ottawa (core)

Interior foundation crack injection
Stone and early poured walls that weep after every thaw or heavy rain.
Front step and stoop rebuilds
Original steps set on soil, now tilted toward the door instead of away from it.
Parging over stone and block
Old coatings blown off at grade, leaving the wall exposed to splash and salt.

Our Glebe basement leaked every March. They found the crack, injected it, and it has been dry through two winters.

Ottawa (core) questions

+Can you work on a narrow downtown lot with no driveway?
Yes. Most of our core jobs are done with compact equipment and hand pours, with material staged on the street under permit where required. We confirm the access plan when we quote so nothing stalls on day two.
+Our house is over a hundred years old — is repair even worth it?
Usually, yes. Century foundations were built to move a little; the goal is to control water, not to make the wall modern. We'll tell you plainly if the wall needs an engineer rather than a contractor.
