It has become the most common type of home foundation since the mid-1970s. A poured foundation is easily recognized by its relatively smooth surface. This type of foundation is effective at resisting water pressure from the outside, which helps protect your home against leaks. Additionally, it is relatively easy to waterproof, as it consists of a single solid material.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_text_color=”#C33C33″ header_3_line_height=”1.3em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Generally speaking, there are two types of poured foundations.<\/p>\n The first type includes homes built around the turn of the century, where the foundations were formed using wooden boards, and the concrete was mixed and poured on-site. This concrete was typically of low quality, often with stones found on-site added to the mix. Some people mistakenly refer to this type of foundation as \u201crubble.\u201d Most homes in the Ottawa area built before the 1940s likely feature this type of construction.<\/p>\n The second type consists of newer poured foundations, commonly found in homes built after the 1930s. These foundations were also formed with planks and boards, but the concrete mix was of much higher quality. It wasn\u2019t until the 1960s that more modern forms and ties were introduced.<\/p>\n Now, let\u2019s address these two types of poured foundations separately, along with the different issues they may present.<\/p>\n Many of these homes had little or no damp proofing, or it was completely washed away. Damp proofing is the most basic form of foundation protection against water, and it does little to prevent moisture from entering the concrete. Aside from the obvious issues of water damage in your basement, such as mold and mildew, damp walls that freeze can lead to concrete damage. The freeze\/thaw cycle can cause the concrete to break down, resulting in a condition known as spalling. This issue is particularly common due to the poor quality of concrete used in homes built at the turn of the century. Additionally, the absence of drain tiles (also known as weeping tiles) exacerbates the problem by preventing water from draining away from the foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n The poured foundations often show damage from freezing, where the concrete can disintegrate into dust. However, this issue is less common with higher-quality concrete. Water and moisture problems, including mold and mildew, remain significant concerns. Drainage tiles (also known as weeping tiles) are typically present, but older clay tiles are often blocked with soil or clay and may be broken. Plastic drain pipes became standard in the 1970s but did not include a filter sock until the 1990s. As a result, these plastic pipes can also become clogged.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(214,214,214,0.6)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|600|||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”42px” header_2_line_height=”1.3em” header_3_text_color=”#C33C33″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”34px” header_2_font_size_phone=”34px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_css_main_element=”box-shadow: 0px 2px 18px 0px rgba(100,130,208,.17);” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Wall Cracks” image=”https:\/\/dmfoundations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/foundation-poured-crack.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#C33C33″ body_line_height=”1.5em” custom_padding=”30px|30px|35px|30px|false|true” border_color_all=”#7D8AA1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n A common cause of water accumulation in basement areas is leaking wall cracks. Concrete walls can develop cracks due to foundation settlement or during the curing process as water is released. These cracks are often found near breaks in the wall, such as around windows and beam pockets, or in the middle of long, uninterrupted walls. While not all cracks lead to leaks, many eventually do. Interior surface repairs using rigid materials like hydraulic cement or epoxy typically fail within a couple of years. To effectively repair cracks, they should be excavated and sealed from the exterior, or properly filled from the inside with either epoxy resin or urethane foam.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_css_main_element=”box-shadow: 0px 2px 18px 0px rgba(100,130,208,.17);” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Insufficient Waterproofing” image=”https:\/\/dmfoundations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/foundation-poured-damp-proofing.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#C33C33″ body_line_height=”1.5em” custom_padding=”30px|30px|35px|30px|false|true” border_color_all=”#7D8AA1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n (Damp proofing only)<\/p>\n Damp proofing is a light coat of a tar that is sprayed on. Generally it\u2019s a very light coating that offers very little protection from water penetration. The problem is compounded when the backfill material is clay which hold the water. The porous concrete draws the moisture in. If the basement is finished the moisture is trapped behind the walls and insulation which is where the mould will grow.<\/p>\n If you cannot afford to waterproof you should keep your concrete foundation walls exposed and have good air circulation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_css_main_element=”box-shadow: 0px 2px 18px 0px rgba(100,130,208,.17);” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Damaged Weeping Tiles” image=”https:\/\/dmfoundations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/foundation-poured-weeping-tile.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#C33C33″ body_line_height=”1.5em” custom_padding=”30px|30px|35px|30px|false|true” border_color_all=”#7D8AA1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n (or non-existing)<\/p>\n Very common in homes that are more than 40 years old but can happen in new homes as well.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_css_main_element=”box-shadow: 0px 2px 18px 0px rgba(100,130,208,.17);” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Freeze \/ Thaw” image=”https:\/\/dmfoundations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/foundation-poured-spalling.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#C33C33″ body_line_height=”1.5em” custom_padding=”30px|30px|35px|30px|false|true” border_color_all=”#7D8AA1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n This freeze thaw cycle can literally cause the concrete to turn to dust (spalling).

Ties are usually round or flat. Round ties can be a problem when used in colder conditions. As the forms are removed, the ends of the tie rods are broken off with a hammer. Because the concrete walls cure significantly slower in the winter months, striking the ties can loosen the bound with the concrete creating a wall of leaking ties.<\/p>\n Repair is simple and can be done by coating the surface of the hole with a two part epoxy or urethane paste or even hydraulic cement.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||10px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_css_main_element=”box-shadow: 0px 2px 18px 0px rgba(100,130,208,.17);” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Pipes” image=”https:\/\/dmfoundations.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/foundation-poured-pipes.jpg” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#C33C33″ body_line_height=”1.5em” custom_padding=”30px|30px|35px|30px|false|true” border_color_all=”#7D8AA1″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Service pipes like: gas, electrical, well and septic lines.
