Project Description
This Ottawa Sandy Hill Triplex had major basement foundation issues including:
– Hydrostatic pressure causing groundwater to leak through the floor
– Rotten structural supports
– Major foundation cracks in walls
– Mold, moisture, and mildew
After a detailed inspection by Renco owner Terry Fraser, a plan was built to repair the basement. Activities included:
– gutting the existing basement apartment

– adding basement floor drainage to prevent hydrostatic pressure leaks
– repairing the existing foundation wall from the inside
– waterproofing the basement foundation
– rebuilding a new basement apartment unit
