Reliable Waterproofing and Foundation Solutions for a Safer Home
Moisture from the surrounding soil may seep into the basement through cracks or porous concrete if the basement is not properly waterproofed. This problem can worsen quickly during Ottawa’s weather cycles because water expands and contracts within foundation cracks, making the damage worse.
Francis Home Environment provides interior waterproofing solutions designed to keep your basement dry and structurally sound.
Crack Repair for Foundations
We carefully identify and pinpoint all foundation cracks, then seal them using high-strength, durable materials designed to prevent water from entering. These advanced sealing solutions not only block moisture but also work to reinforce the integrity of your foundation, ensuring that the structure remains stable and protected from future damage
Interior Drainage Systems
Your home may still experience water infiltration even if there are no visible cracks. Common entry points, such as pipe holes and basement windows, aren’t the only culprits. High hydrostatic pressure caused by both snow and rain can force water through the concrete itself. If water begins to accumulate on your basement floor, we can install an interior drainage system to reroute the water and keep your basement dry.
Sealants and Coatings for Waterproofing
We install vapor barriers and waterproof membranes on your basement walls to keep moisture out and reduce the risk of leaks and mould growth. This ensures your home remains dry and safe.
