“My basement is usable now.”

My basement is usable now. You did waterproofing at my house about 18 months back. This year it has rained a lot but there has been no water intrusion into my basement. I want to thank Todd. He and his team did the job well.

Mr. Foundation has specialized in foundation and structural repair in Ottawa since 1992, giving our team more than three decades of experience with the foundation problems local homeowners face. Founded by Patrick LeCours, the company has grown around one core specialty: diagnosing foundation problems and repairing them properly.

Mr. Foundation is also an exclusive certified installer of the Ram Jack® Foundation Repair System in the Ottawa area, providing access to engineered foundation stabilization solutions when structural support is required.

Yes. Mr. Foundation is one of the few foundation repair companies in the Ottawa area that carries comprehensive insurance for the specialized work we perform. Our coverage includes WSIB, structural repair and shoring work, and product liability.

What does that mean for you? It means greater protection and peace of mind while work is being completed on your property. You can feel confident that the people working on your foundation are properly covered for the specialized work involved.

What type of warranty does Mr. Foundation offer?

Mr. Foundation stands behind work with 15-year warranties on waterproofing, foundation crack repair, structural repairs, and RAM JACK® repairs. Our waterproofing and crack repair warranties are also transferable, providing added value and peace of mind if you sell your home during the warranty period.

How quickly can you come see my foundation?

We offer 24-hour dispatched service to help get your foundation concerns assessed quickly. Our team will evaluate the problem, explain what we find, and provide a written repair recommendation and estimate outlining the work required.

That means you’ll have a clear understanding of what’s wrong, what needs to be done, and what it will cost before moving forward.

How do I know if a foundation crack is serious?

A foundation crack may be serious if it is widening, recurring, allowing water into your basement, or appearing alongside other signs of foundation movement. Warning signs can include uneven or sloping floors, doors and windows that stick, cracks in drywall or brick, and foundation walls that are leaning or shifting.

The size of the crack alone doesn’t always tell the whole story. Its location, direction, movement, and underlying cause all matter. If a crack is changing or you’re unsure what caused it, a professional foundation evaluation can determine whether it needs a simple crack repair or further structural attention.

What causes foundation cracks in a home?

Foundation cracks can develop for several reasons, including normal concrete shrinkage, soil movement, settlement, hydrostatic pressure, drainage problems, and seasonal freeze-thaw conditions. Ottawa homes can be particularly affected by changing soil and moisture conditions throughout the year.

Some cracks remain relatively minor, while others can indicate that the foundation is moving or under excessive pressure. Identifying the cause of the crack before repairing it is important because sealing the visible crack alone may not solve the underlying problem.

How are foundation cracks repaired?

The right foundation crack repair method depends on where the crack is located, what caused it, whether water is entering, and whether the foundation is moving. Depending on the problem, repairs may involve sealing the crack, waterproofing, structural reinforcement, or foundation stabilization.

At Mr. Foundation, the process starts with evaluating the crack and surrounding foundation. This helps determine whether the problem is primarily a waterproofing issue, an isolated crack, or a sign of a larger structural problem, so the repair addresses the cause rather than simply covering the symptom.

How much does foundation crack repair cost in Ottawa?

The cost of foundation crack repair in Ottawa depends on the type and location of the crack, its severity, accessibility, water intrusion, and whether structural movement is involved. A straightforward crack repair can require a very different scope of work than a crack caused by settlement or a shifting foundation.

The best way to get an accurate estimate is to have the crack professionally evaluated. Mr. Foundation will assess the crack and surrounding foundation, identify what’s causing the problem, and provide a written repair recommendation and estimate based on the work your foundation actually needs.

Does home insurance cover foundation crack repair?

Home insurance may cover some foundation-related damage, but coverage depends on what caused the damage and the terms of your individual policy. Foundation problems caused by gradual settlement, deterioration, or ongoing maintenance issues may be treated differently from damage resulting from a sudden insured event.

If you discover a foundation crack or water intrusion, document the damage and contact your insurance provider to confirm your coverage. Mr. Foundation can evaluate the foundation and provide a written assessment and repair estimate that helps clarify the work required.

We quickly repair small foundation cracks. When required, we can do full foundation restoration also.
