Basement Waterproofing Stittsville

Wet basements in Stittsville? You’re not alone.

Stittsville grew from a small village into one of Ottawa’s largest west-end communities and most of its homes, across Fairwinds, Jackson Trails, Wyldewood and the newer subdivisions off Fernbank and Robert Grant, went up during the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. That mix means two very different basement-water problems: settling backfill around younger foundations and aging drainage under the older homes along Stittsville Main Street.

Like much of the Ottawa region, Stittsville sits on pockets of Champlain Sea “Leda” clay and several neighbourhoods drain toward Poole Creek and the surrounding wetlands. The result is a high spring water table on low-lying streets and soil that swells when wet, a classic setup for settlement cracks and seepage, especially in newer subdivisions where compacted backfill is still settling around the foundation.

What we see most in Stittsville

• Settlement and hairline cracks in 5–20-year-old poured foundations
• Spring-melt seepage on lower-lying streets near Poole Creek
• Aging or clogged weeping tile under older village-core homes

Close to Stittsville Main Street, the Goulbourn Recreation Complex, Poole Creek and the wider Stittsville area, if your basement takes on water, we’ll find the source and stop it.

It’s not only waterproofing, we also handle foundation repair in Stittsville: leaking cracks, bowing walls and settlement, common where Ottawa’s Leda clay shifts with the seasons.
