We connect you with waterproofing pros who know ALL of Orleans - from the oldest neighborhoods to the newest developments. They fix it. You stop worrying.
Why Orleans Basements Get Wet
Different neighborhoods, same water problems. Here's what's happening.
Original Clay Tile Drains Are Failing (1970s-80s Homes)
If you're in older Orleans areas like Convent Glen or Fallingbrook, your clay tile drains are 40-50 years old. They're cracked, crushed, clogged. They're not draining anymore.The Ground Is Still Settling (1990s-2000s Homes)
Newer areas like Avalon and Notting Hill were built on fill. It's still settling. That movement cracks foundations, shifts drainage pipes, creates gaps where water pours in.Clay Soil Holds Water (Everywhere)
Most of Orleans sits on clay. Clay holds water like a sponge. When it rains, the ground saturates. That water goes sideways - into your foundation.Ottawa River Raises Your Water Table
Much of Orleans is close enough to the Ottawa River to feel its influence. Your water table is higher than you think.Orleans: East End Hub, Ancient Soil
Orleans has grown from a small town to one of Ottawa's largest communities. From Convent Glen to Avalon, from Fallingbrook to Notting Hill, people come here for community and family life.
But that growth came on ancient clay soil. The same clay that covers much of the area makes drainage challenging. The fill used to build new communities is still settling. The original clay tiles in older areas are failing. And the Ottawa River keeps water tables high across much of the east end.

"Our 1970s home leaked every spring. Original clay tiles finally gave out. Contractor replaced everything, added sump. Three years dry. Should have done this decades ago."

"Clay soil held water against foundation for years. Musty smell never left. Contractor installed French drains. Smell gone. Basement usable again."
