Why Pakenham Basements Get Wet
Valley village, valley water challenges. Here's what's happening.
The Mississippi River Floods
You live along the Mississippi in the valley. Beautiful. But every spring, the river rises. Some years, it floods. Your basement feels it all.Historic Stone Foundations Leak
Many Pakenham homes have history - stone foundations from the 1800s. After a century or more, they crack and seep. Water finds its way in.Bedrock Traps Water
The valley has bedrock close to the surface. Water can't go through rock, so it sits on top and moves sideways - into your foundation.High Water Table Year-Round
Even without flooding, the water table is high throughout the valley. Your sump pump runs constantly.Pakenham: Valley Gem, Valley Water Reality
Pakenham is one of the Ottawa Valley's most charming villages. The five-span bridge, the Mississippi River, heritage homes, strong community. You're living the valley dream.
But that dream comes with water responsibilities. The Mississippi River that makes this area beautiful also floods in bad years and keeps water tables high in good years. The historic stone foundations that give the village its character were never designed to be waterproof. The bedrock that underlies much of the valley traps water and directs it at your foundation.
Our waterproofing contractors know Pakenham. They've worked in the village and surrounding areas. They understand river dynamics, stone foundations, bedrock, and high water tables. They bring solutions that work for THIS unique valley community.
