Why Kars Basements Get Wet
River community, river water challenges. Here's what's happening.
The Rideau River Owns Your Water Table
You're on the Rideau. Beautiful. But when the river rises in spring, your water table rises too. Some years, the river floods. Your basement feels it all.Older Farm Foundations Leak
Many Kars homes have history - farmhouses with stone or block foundations. After decades, they crack and seep. Water finds its way in.Clay Soil Holds Water
The soil around Kars is heavy with clay. Clay holds water like a sponge. That water has nowhere to go but sideways - into your foundation.Agricultural Drainage Issues
Old farm drainage tiles crisscross the area. When they fail, they redirect water in unpredictable ways - often toward your home.Kars: River Paradise, River Water Reality
Kars is one of those special places along the Rideau. Riverfront properties, rural character, space to breathe. You're part of a community that values the river and country life.
But that river life comes with water responsibilities. The Rideau that makes this place beautiful also keeps your water table high and floods in bad years. The older farm foundations that have stood for generations were never designed to be waterproof. The clay soil holds water against your walls. The agricultural tiles that once drained the fields can fail and send water your way.
