Why Convent Glen Basements Get Wet
Established community, established water problems. Here's what's happening.
Original Clay Tile Drains Are Failing
Your home was built in the 70s or 80s with clay tile drains - standard then. But 40-50 years is their limit. They're cracked, crushed, clogged. They're not draining anymore. Your basement is.Mature Trees = Root Invasion
Convent Glen's trees have grown with the neighborhood. Those roots found your drains years ago. They're inside now - growing, expanding, blocking flow.Clay Soil Holds Water
Convent Glen sits on clay. Clay holds water like a sponge. When it rains, the ground saturates. That water has nowhere to go but sideways - into your foundation.Ottawa River Raises Your Water Table
You're close enough to the Ottawa River to feel its influence. When the river rises in spring, your water table rises too. Your sump pump works overtime.Convent Glen: Family Roots, Water Reality
Convent Glen is one of Orleans' most established communities. Those 70s-80s homes on quiet streets have raised generations. Close to schools, parks, the river. You're part of something special.
But that establishment comes with water baggage. The clay tile drains installed when your home was new are now 40-50 years old - approaching the end of their lifespan. The mature trees that make the neighborhood beautiful have roots that reach everywhere - including your weeping tiles. The clay soil holds water against your foundation. And the Ottawa River keeps your water table higher than neighborhoods further inland.
