Foundation Repair
A little crack in your basement floor or walls might not seem serious, but it can be the symptom of a much
larger problem: foundation damage.If you think your home might need foundation repair please call Muskoka
Foundations at 705-627-1734 for more information about our services in Muskoka Ontario and surrounding Muskoka areas.
Should you contact a foundation repair company? Look for wall and floor cracks; they are one of the
tell-tale signs, since a shifting foundation exerts stresses on drywall and concrete slabs. 45 degree
cracks in your home's drywall can indicate foundation problems. Also sticking windows and doors.
If there's a crack in your basement floor and one side is higher than the other then part of your
foundation may have sunk. Horizontal or stair-step cracks often indicate a build-up of hydrostatic
pressure in the surrounding soil.
If you see a crack in your home that's more than 1/16th of an inch, ask Muskoka Foundations for advice.
We'll inspect your foundation for you. We're always honest with our customers, so we won't sell
you a service you don't truly need.
Foundation Replacement
A faulty foundation is a serious issue. Your home, your family, and a huge investment literally rest on top of it.
It can also seem like an insurmountable problem to fix.
Many times it appears that destroying the old foundation and building an entirely new one is the only
solution to the problem. However this option is almost never the way to go.
Foundation problems should definitely be taken seriously but many of the common foundation problems can be
solved and fixed permanently with simple, one-time applications. A complete foundation replacement is
time-consuming and very expensive. Plus, with replacement, the cause of the problems which is the soil
around your foundation has not been addressed.
The soil around your foundation shifts, settles, shrinks and expands, causing pressure on the
sub-level walls of your home. We can provide you with the means to solve these and the actual
structural problems that your foundation may be experiencing. Call the experts at Muskoka Foundations
at 705-627-1734 for expert advice.

Leaky basement repairs
As long as there have been basements there have been basement water problems. Water can find it's way into
a basement through cracks in the walls or flooring, through wall and flooring joints, through open vents
and through ill-fitting doors and windows. Concrete is also a porous material and water will seep through
it as water vapour, making basements and crawl spaces a constant source of humidity and dampness.

knowledge and experience to get the problem solved right. We'll take on any basement moisture problem

DOCK CRIBBING REPAIRS
Your dock crib has probably become fish habitat and, for smaller fish, the spaces between the rocks
(unless they’re totally enclosed, which is problematic) is a haven from predators. Taking the dock
out means destroying that habitat, and the removal process is quite messy for the lake bottom and shoreline.
If your crib dock is damaged or deteriorating, you need the experts at Muskoka Foundations to determine if it’s best to remove the dock cribbing or of repairing the dock crib is a better option.
