Foundation Repair Ottawa - Suggested steps for foundation repair

Foundation repair Ottawa step 1 - Get correct evaluation.

Foundation cracks can be disturbing but all visible cracks are not serious, nor are they always costly to repair.

Almost all Ottawa foundation repair companies give free quotes.

So, first call two or more good foundation repair companies to correctly evaluate your property.

It is important that you call good foundation repair companies you can trust.

Example, a Homestar reviewer mentions about us

“The estimate(s) provided by Patrick was, in my opinion, an honest appraisal of the required repairs and was provided without hype or pressure.”

This is what Kathy Hamill in Ottawa had to say about us:

In particular I want to thank Todd for his astute assessment of the follow up moisture and tracing of that to what was ultimately not a foundation problem. I can see that other companies might not take the time to do that detective work, and instead choose to recommend a solution that would provide them with costly digging work.

Foundation repair is blown out of proportion by many Ottawa foundation repair contractors.

You must choose a foundation repair company with knowledgeable staff, and experience in Ottawa foundation repair.

Choose a company with your best interest in mind.

Ottawa Foundation repair step 2 - If possible, try to be present at the time of inspection.

The foundation repair companies will come separately for foundation inspections.

You are busy, but if possible, please try to be physically present during at least two such inspections.

Please pay careful attention to what the foundation repair company has to say about the condition of your property and its foundation.

Foundation repairs Ottawa step 3 - Compare notes. Choose your foundation repair contractor

Did all foundation repair companies give similar diagnosis?

If there is significant variation in the diagnosis of foundation repair companies, then you could consider calling an independent structural engineer for a second opinion.

If the diagnosis of all Ottawa foundation repair companies was similar, then you could choose your Ottawa foundation repair contractor on the following basis:

• Years of experience in Ottawa foundation repair. How long has the company been doing foundation repair in Ottawa?
• Industry recognition - Is the staff knowledgeable? Do they know enough about Ottawa foundations? Does the staff get on-going training? Are they current with new technology in foundation repair?
• Shoring insurance - Shoring insurance is very important for foundation repair, yet, very few companies in Ottawa have this coverage.
• Online reviews - It is impossible to please everyone. However, is the general trend of online reviews positive?
• References - Ask the company for local Ottawa foundation repair references.
• Warranties - What kind of warranties are provided? And what are their limitations? Transferable warranties add value if you want to sell your property later.
• The quotation - what is included in the quotation for foundation repair.
• Memberships of certified organizations like the Ottawa Construction Association, GOHBA, Renomark, BBB etc.
• Engineered solutions - Ask if they work with engineers to insure 3rd party liability. Ask if they use 3rd party certification for work - Engineer certified and stamped.
• Safety - Are all employees trained with the Ontario Safety Board?

As a property owner, it is important that you understand your property's actual condition and then choose the right Ottawa foundation repair company.

If you choose the right foundation repair company then everything else should follow smoothly.

Foundation crack repair Ottawa - Stone, Concrete block and Concrete foundation repair

Honest evaluation, reliable crack repairs and transferable warranties make us different. Please call us for foundation crack repair Ottawa.

A cracked foundation always requires proper evaluation and correct foundation crack repair. Foundation crack repair must focus on solving the problem causing foundation cracks. Just repairing the physical crack should never be the goal.

There is a lot of debate about concrete foundation repair using using epoxy or polyurethane injections and their suitability in Ottawa weather and soil conditions. As an expert foundation repair company in Ottawa, with vast experience in concrete foundation repair, we feel that general statements cannot be made on this topic. Each cracked foundation is unique and must be evaluated on its own merits.

However, one definite fact is that small foundation cracks are much cheaper to repair.

Many property owners ignore early signs of foundation failure. Small foundation cracks get underestimated. However, logically thinking, if foundation repair companies in Ottawa offer free inspections, then why should you not call them for a professional foundation inspection, while the foundation cracks are still small?

Most property owners worry that foundation companies might make a mountain out of a molehill, so they wait to see if the problem will grow? This is wrong and very costly.

You can call us for free evaluation even if you are only noticing small cracks in your foundation.

There can be numerous reasons for foundation cracks. You could read our page about Foundation crack repair but if you want correct evaluation, and a solution to your foundation cracks, then please call 613.746.7300 to get a free estimate for foundation crack repair Ottawa.
