Basement Waterproofing in Ottawa

We’re known as plumbers, but on a basic level we’re just guys who tell water where to go. You want to keep water AWAY from your foundation. Nothing can destroy a home – or make your basement unusable – the way water can.

A weakened foundation can damage the structural safety of your entire home. Slanted floors? A crumbling foundation might have shifted your floor joists. Window won’t open or close easily? The foundation damage may have caused the studs in the wall to bow and squeeze your window.

With water damage, a pint of sweat saves a gallon of blood. It is MUCH less expensive to do some basic basement waterproofing and maybe foundation repair than to fix structural damage. Your house will be a construction site for months or more, and repair bills will be endless. Your insurance won’t help nearly enough or much at all.

Your home doesn’t need to suffer like that, and neither do you.  With a little preventive maintenance, it’s easy to add decades to your home’s lifespan and keep more zeroes in your bank account. Whether you need foundation crack repair, foundation sealing, a weeping tile system, or just about anything else for redirecting water, Environmental Plumbing can help you now.

Our Comprehensive Basement Waterproofing Process

Our waterproofing services start with a detailed inspection of your foundation walls to identify any cracks or weaknesses. We perform foundation excavation to access the areas needing repair, then apply waterproofing membranes such as liquid membranes or sheet membranes to create a durable barrier against water.

Exterior Waterproofing for Long-Lasting Results

For effective exterior waterproofing, we install drainage systems like French drains and weeping tiles to redirect water away from your home’s foundation and basement windows. This includes the installation of window wells and protecting footings to prevent water damage.

Foundation Crack Repair Services

If foundation cracks are discovered, we offer foundation crack repair to seal and reinforce your home’s foundation. These repairs help prevent water infiltration and basement leaks, ensuring your home remains secure.

Sump Pump Service

Sump Pit and Sump Pump Installations

For homes prone to flooding or excess moisture, we offer sump pump installation. By installing a sump pit and sump pump, we can effectively remove excess water from the soil surrounding your foundation, preventing wet soil from causing structural issues.

Weeping Tile Systems and Drainage Solutions

Weeping Tile Systems and Drainage Solutions

We also provide interior and exterior weeping tile systems to reduce water pressure and protect your foundation from future damage. This drainage system helps manage water flow around your foundation and prevents foundation problems.
