In 2017, Ottawa, Gatineau, and the surrounding regions received more than 3 times the average amount of rainfall for the month of April. This created widespread flooding that turned streets into canals and displaced thousands of families from their homes. Sadly, experts believe that this was only the tip of the iceberg and that we can expect more flooding to occur as the temperatures continue to rise across North America. With this in mind, and having just surpassed the one-year mark, it’s not hard to see why many homeowners are concerned. If you’re having flashbacks to the 2017 floods, contact us today to help ease your mind and safeguard your home from any damage in the future.

We also provide repair and maintenance services to keep your equipment operating year-round.
If there are cracks in the foundation of your home, you’re likely to experience widespread water leakage in your basement and through your walls if a flood does occur.

No matter what the extent of the cracks may be, our expert team will be able to repair your foundation and help keep your home dry and safe.
Protecting your home is easier and more affordable than repairing it. Having residential waterproofing can safeguard your basement and enclosed crawlspaces where you store your valuable items and furniture.

If you spot any problem areas, it’s important to take immediate action before these problems lead to hazardous conditions and expensive repairs.
