“Pat and his team did an excellent job repointing and waterproofing our foundation. They had to do most of the digging work with hand shovels in tight areas and did so with skill and care for our property and all the while respecting the neighbours. The foundation is over 100 years old and need much work by done by hand.

They arrived on time each morning and left the site clean and safe each day. Their skill was only surpassed by their professionalism and work efficiency.

Well done Action Restauration!”

“WE engaged Patrick and his team to install two very robust slabs for our custom log home new build. He was very fair on price and went out of his way to ensure the final product was top quality.

Due to the nature of the job, he also graciously accommodated numerous changes, worked through intense heat conditions and was personally on the site every day (often for 12+ hours) to keep the project on track. We highly recommend working with Patrick. You won’t be disappointed.”

Efficient, professional team! Action Restoration repaired cracks in our garage foundation, installed a new curb around the base of our garage walls, and provided a new garage floor. The team was clean, quick, helpful with questions and answers, and managed expectations along the way. They worked hard and were pleasant. It was a relief to have our foundation repaired so quickly and so well.

FAQs

Underpinning is the process of strengthening and stabilizing your home’s existing foundation. It’s often required when the soil beneath a structure shifts, weakens, or can no longer support the load — common in older Ottawa homes or properties built on unstable ground.

Typical warning signs include cracks in walls or ceilings, uneven or sloping floors, doors and windows that no longer close properly, or visible settling around the foundation. Our Ottawa team can inspect your property and confirm whether underpinning is the best solution.

We start with a full foundation assessment, followed by a custom plan for your soil and structure. Controlled excavations are done in sections beneath the foundation, where new footings or concrete supports are installed to stabilize and strengthen your home from below.

Yes, underpinning is specifically designed to correct settlement issues. By extending your foundation deeper into stable soil or adding support columns, we can lift and re-level areas that have sunk or shifted over time.

The timeline depends on your home’s size and condition, but most Ottawa underpinning projects take between one and four weeks. We’ll provide a clear project schedule after inspection so you know exactly what to expect.

In some cases, yes — depending on the cause of the damage and your policy. All underpinning work by Action Restoration includes a workmanship warranty, ensuring long-term strength and protection for your home.
