Katimavik: Kanata Original. Those 70s Drains Are Tired.

Those beautiful mature trees? Roots in your weeping tiles. That clay soil? Holds water against your foundation. Being near the river? Higher water table. We connect you with waterproofing pros who know Katimavik - aging drains, tree roots, clay soil, river influence. They fix it. You stop worrying.
Why Katimavik Basements Get Wet
Established neighborhood, 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
Katimavik's trees have grown with the neighborhood. Those roots found your drains years ago. They're inside now - growing, expanding, blocking flow. Your weeping tiles aren't draining.Clay Soil Holds Water
Katimavik 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.Katimavik: Kanata's Heart, Water Reality
Katimavik is at the heart of Kanata. Those 70s-80s homes on quiet streets have been home to generations. Close to schools, shopping, transit. You're part of Kanata's history.
But that history comes with water baggage. The clay tile drains installed when your home was new are now 40-50 years old - past 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.
Our waterproofing contractors know Katimavik. They've worked on hundreds of homes here. They know the original construction, the common failure points, the clay soil behavior. They bring solutions that work for THIS neighborhood.
Dry basement. Kanata home preserved. Peace of mind.
