Ottawa Foundation Repair · 40+ Years
Foundation Repair in Ottawa, Done Right the First Time.
Stacy Provost is a 40-year foundation repair veteran involved in every project. He'll tell you if you don't need the work.
Why we do it this way
Why most foundation repair goes wrong — and how we do it different.
When your foundation moves, your whole house pays. The cracks above the doorframe, the floor that pitches toward one corner, the basement that smells different after it rains — those are symptoms, and the price of getting the diagnosis wrong is enormous.
Here's the trouble in this city: most foundation companies will quote you for everything. They send a salesperson, not a builder. The salesperson writes the number, a different crew shows up, and nobody you spoke to is there when the work happens.
Basic Foundation Repair was built around the opposite of that. After 40+ years on Ottawa job sites, Stacy Provost would rather tell you the truth and walk than sell you work you don't need.
I won't take work I can't do right. After 40 years, my name still matters more than the job. — Stacy Provost

Real work, real names.
“Stacy and his crew did our foundation crack repair last spring. Quick, professional, and the price didn't change from the quote. Would recommend.”
“We had water in the basement for years. A few different contractors couldn't figure out where it was coming from. Stacy walked the outside of the house with me, found it in about ten minutes.”
“Knew what he was doing. Explained things in plain English. Crew was on time and cleaned up after themselves. What more do you want.”
