Why Westboro Basements Get Wet

Older Foundations Leak
Your Westboro home likely dates from the early 1900s. Stone, brick, early concrete - all showing their age. After a century, water finds its way in.The Ottawa River Raises Your Water Table
You're steps from the river. That's the location. But when the river rises in spring, your water table rises too. Your basement feels every fluctuation.Mature Trees = Root Invasion
Westboro's trees are magnificent. But those roots found your drains decades ago. They're inside now - growing, expanding, blocking flow.Shared Walls = Shared Problems
Many Westboro homes are attached. Water doesn't respect property lines. If your neighbour has drainage issues, you might too.Westboro: Trendy Village, Historic Water Reality
Westboro is one of Ottawa's most desirable neighborhoods. Richmond Road shops, the river pathway, trendy restaurants, beautiful homes. You're living the dream.
But that dream comes with water baggage. The foundations that have held up for a century were never designed to be waterproof. The nearby river keeps your water table high year-round. The magnificent trees that make the streets beautiful have roots that reach everywhere - including your weeping tiles. Shared walls with neighbours mean water problems can spread.
