Why Lincoln Heights Basements Get Wet
West end original, original water problems. Here's what's happening.
Original Clay Tile Drains Are Failing
Your home was built in the 50s or 60s with clay tile drains - standard then. But 60-70 years is their limit. They're cracked, crushed, clogged. They're not draining anymore. Your basement is.Mature Trees = Root Invasion
Lincoln Heights' 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
Lincoln Heights 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.Lincoln Heights: West End Roots, Water Reality
Lincoln Heights is one of west Ottawa's original communities. Those 50s-60s homes near Carlingwood have been home to generations. Close to shopping, transit, the river. You're part of history.
But that history comes with water baggage. The clay tile drains installed when your home was new are now 60-70 years old - way 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.
