Concrete repair in Westboro

What we see most in Westboro

Westboro's original foundations were built shallow, often with minimal footings, in stone and rubble rather than poured concrete — a pattern local foundation contractors specifically name in Westboro alongside the Glebe and Old Ottawa South. Shallow bedrock, Nepean sandstone or Beekmantown dolostone, often sits close to the surface too, which limits drainage pathways and changes excavation conditions for any underpinning or weeping tile work. Parging is the standard finish and weather-seal over these original walls, and it's a primary repair need wherever the original coating has failed on a century-old wall.

Westboro's northern edge sits directly on the Ottawa River, and the neighbourhood was significantly affected by both the 2017 and 2019 floods — during the 2019 event the City specifically flagged sewer stress near Churchill Avenue North and asked dozens of households to cut back water use to avoid backup. With the 1924 Westboro Masonic Temple newly heritage-designated and community groups pushing to protect more buildings ahead of a 2027 provincial deadline, repair and restoration that matches original stone, brick and parging is usually the right call here over a rip-and-replace.
