Waterproofing foundation

A few month after the waterproofing was done, interlock around foundation sinked a lot. We tried every way to contact Ahmed. At first, he agreed to repair. But another 4 months without action, he disappeared and never answered email or phone call again.

Now we have to pay 800$ to repair the sunken interlock. Very disappointed.

Foundation waterproofing

Ahmad sent out his team last fall. While they appeared to do a decent job waterproofing and parging they did not finish the work in the contract (I.e. Paving and reinstalling my privacy fence) despite asking for more payment than they should have. I had to pay other contractors to fix my deck which was not reinstalled properly by OFC. I've been trying to contact Ahmad for months via email and phone but he won't respond. This is a common complaint on OFC on recent sites. Stay away from OFC!

urgent water infiltration management, wateproofing, parging, change of french drain and digging of second sum pit and installation of secondary drains around the house

They work hard on solving our problem for many weeks. They showed up on site until most of the job was complete. We were very satisfied, but I we have tried to reach them for many weeks now to finish the job they promised they would finish, but no answer to phone calls, no room on voicemail, and no replies to our texts. They had scheduled a date to come out and didn't show up. We now have to subcontract other peaple to finish waht needs to be done (like reiinstalling the air conditionning, grading, putting back steps and rebuilding retaining wall. NOT Happy anymore.

Great service, great job, came out right away, we had a serious leak after all the rain recently. They accommodated our schedule, started a few days after, completed the job with our full satisfaction. Thanks to all guys that came out.

Foundation Waterproofing, Basement Walkout.

I wanted to refinish my basement as the demo was being done we noticed water infiltration in 3 areas of the basement, we called Ottawa Foundation Contractors one of four companies, they showed up the next morning. We decided to go ahead with them not for just the price but we felt confident that the job would be done properly. They waterproofed and replaced the old clay weeping tile around the whole house. After a few conversations with the owner Ahmad, the decision was made to create a basement walkout. All in all, a very professional easy to deal and very fair company to work with.

Water in Basement

We had water in our basement...alot of water. OFC came out right away...within hours of submitting our email for an estimate, told us we required a sump pump to deal with the hydrostatic water pressure under our basement concrete slab. We then to be diligent got a second estimate, the second company came out in the same time frame but gave us a completely different assessment than OFC did. Something in the range of 25k with issues with our weeping tile and waterproofing. At this point we did not know what to do. So we got a third estimate. This company took 3 days to come out and the gentleman that came to our home was to say the least in a rush!! But gave us the same assessment that OFC did but twice as much in terms of pricing. We descided to go with OFC long story short it took them half a day, they were efficient, clean, polite and did a great job and my problem was solved. They made this experience as easy as it could be. Great company, Great service, Great people. Thank you.

Fix basement wall leak

Our basement outside wall was cracked. I went on line to look at companies to fix it and I did my research. As it turned out someone I knew had used OFC and was very happy with them. I like to go by referrals so I went ahead. Jason was right on time, a very knowledgeable, calming, person, right to the point . They started the work right away after we agreed on the cost. As the guy was filling the cracks he noticed some very tiny hairline ones and decided it best to fill those as well. Again we agreed on a price and said to go ahead. He also added a small crack as he went for free. So in my mind that is good service and would make me recommend them to others. Job well done and cleaned up, as well as the warranty which really sold us on using OFC.
thanks and keep up the good work
