Hiring a foundation specialist in Ottawa would be the best decision owing to the expertise and in-depth detailing required for the job.

As a part of exterior waterproofing, a waterproofing membrane is also applied to the exteriors in order to keep out water seepages.

This method is the best and the convenient one in terms of costs involved and the mess that follows. This s helps in controlling the hydrostatic pressure and the groundwater pressure that may find its way into the interiors. • Be it structural repair in Ottawa, or installment of a new system; interior drainage system involves digging down the concrete floors and installing of the drainage pipes along with a sump pump system. The moment water enters the basement area it gets pumped away with the help of these sump pumps.
