Ottawa Building & Foundation Repair

Nathan and his crew excavated along one side of our house and part of our backyard in order to install a weeping tile system and drainage bed to stop water that was entering our basement through the cove joint of the north wall. A sump pit and pump were also installed in the basement to pump the water to the drainage bed in our backyard.

The job started on schedule but took longer than predicted due to the extremely rocky soil. The discovery of bedrock also necessitated a change in plans as a gravity fed dry well was no longer possible (hence the sump pump). While this did result in extra charges Nathan did an excellent job explaining why the changes were necessary and the additional costs were very reasonable.

Nathan and his crew were all very friendly, kept the worksite in good order every day and left the landscaping on the side of the house looking much better than it had before the excavation.

A lamppost in the backyard was damaged and their excavator damaged our driveway (which was admittedly not built properly in the first place). Nathan reimbursed us for the lamppost and hired another company to fix the hole in the driveway (he also offered to replace the lamppost but we chose reimbursement instead).

When we get around to extending our weeping tile system around the remainder of the house we will definitely be giving Nathan a call.

We would gladly recommend Ottawa Building & Foundation Repair to family and friends.
