Stittsville: Growing Fast. But The Ground Takes Time.

We connect you with waterproofing pros who know ALL of Stittsville - from the oldest neighborhoods to the newest developments. They fix it. You stop worrying.
Why Stittsville 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 Stittsville areas, 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-2010s Homes)
Newer areas like Fairwinds and Crossing Bridge 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 Stittsville sits on clay. Clay holds water like a sponge. When it rains, the ground saturates. That water goes sideways - into your foundation.Carp River Raises Your Water Table
Parts of Stittsville are close enough to the Carp River to feel its influence. Your water table is higher than you think.Stittsville: Growing Community, Ancient Soil
Stittsville has grown from a small town to one of Ottawa's fastest-growing communities. From the 70s originals near the old village to the newest developments in Fairwinds, people come here for space and community.
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 Carp River keeps water tables higher than you'd expect.
