Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question that isn’t answered here? Contact us.
Q: How can I tell if I have a foundation issue?
A: Common signs of rural or city foundation problems include visible cracks in walls or floors, uneven or sloping floors, sticking doors or windows, gaps around doors or windows, cracks in exterior brickwork, bowing or leaning walls, separation of moulding or trim, cracks in the foundation, basement water infiltration, gaps in the crawl space, exterior soil pulling away, and visible settling of the foundation.
These signs can show up after poor drainage, shifting soils, or even tree roots disturbing the ground around your home. If you see any of these, contact our skilled team at Pro-Core for a free, no-obligation inspection and reliable solutions.
Q: Can I fix my foundation issues myself?
A: Foundation repair is a complex job that usually needs a professional assessment. Some small cosmetic issues may be handled by homeowners, but anything involving structural damage, concrete floors, or water issues like water seepage should be handled by experts.
Our team includes experienced mason contractors, concrete contractors, and general contractors who understand the full picture, including what’s causing the problem, what repair is required, and how to fix it without surprises. DIY repairs can miss underlying problems, and the repair depends on your home’s unique situation.
Q: Can foundation issues affect my home’s resale value?
A: Yes, foundation issues can impact your resale value. When buyers notice cracks, leaks, or signs of settling, it raises concerns about the long-term safety of the structure. Dealing with these issues early and keeping records of all necessary repairs helps protect your investment. Working with a fully insured company like Pro-Core means you get the job done right, leaving your work site impeccable and your home ready for market.
Q: Can my foundation be repaired from the inside?
A: Absolutely. Many Ottawa foundation repair jobs can be completed from inside the home, especially when minimal impact is a priority. We use several proven methods like epoxy injection, carbon fiber reinforcement, wall anchors, push piers, interior drainage systems, and crawl space encapsulation. These systems are cost-effective and often used when outdoor access is limited, such as homes with newly completed landscaping or tight property lines. Our excavating contractors and interior crew will walk you through the entire process and recommend the right method based on your specific needs.
Q: Do I need to make sure the foundation repair contractor I hire is licensed and insured?
A: Definitely. Hiring a fully licensed and insured foundation contractor helps you avoid risk. It means you’re working with professionals who meet safety and legal standards. If something goes wrong during the job, like damage to your property, landscaping, or structure, you’re protected. Avoiding this step can lead to poor workmanship, unfinished repairs, and legal issues. Our skilled team is backed by full coverage and years of experience working with landscape contractors, city foundation standards, and more.
Q: What causes my basement walls to crack and bow inwards?
A: The most common causes are water pressure, poor soil, and drainage issues. When water builds up outside your foundation, it pushes against the walls, leading to cracks and bowing. Tree roots and improper grading can also make things worse. We offer several reliable solutions, depending on your home.
Each system we install offers a permanent fix to stabilize the wall and prevent future problems. Many can be done in one day, with minimal impact to your property and no digging, which is ideal if you’ve just finished landscaping.
Call Pro-Core to speak with an extremely helpful specialist and find the system that brings the best, most successful outcome.
