A damp or waterlogged foundation can seriously compromise the structural integrity of your home. Water is the number one cause of most foundation issues, and waterproofing is an essential part of long-term building maintenance. Identifying the source of moisture early helps prevent future flooding and costly damage.
If you’re building a new home or renovating, now is the time to inspect your foundation and apply proper waterproofing. Only a fully waterproofed foundation gives you peace of mind, ensuring your home stays dry, stable, and protected for years to come.
Many property owners opt for basic damp proofing to save money—but this is not a long-term solution. Our experts at Foundation Service Ottawa can help you choose the right foundation or membrane waterproofing strategy for lasting results.
Waterproofing your foundation involves more than a quick fix. Solutions range from installing a rubberized waterproof membrane around the foundation to applying protective coatings like tar or waterproof emulsions. For optimal performance, these methods are often combined with weeping tile systems that redirect water away from your foundation.
A waterproofed foundation offers multiple benefits:
A dry basement that feels comfortable year-round
Reduced risk of mold, allergens, and musty odors
Additional usable living space
Greater home value and long-term structural integrity
At Foundation Service Ottawa, we help homeowners make the most of their basement by delivering professional, effective waterproofing services.
