Editorial Review
Our Take on Braden Foundation Construction
The 35-year transferable guarantee on crack repairs is the standout, and reviewers back it with stories of clear explanations and careful crews. The thin website and missing licence details mean you should ask for paperwork before signing.

What We Like
- A 35-year waterproofing guarantee on foundation crack repairs, stated as transferable to the next owner
- Exterior repair method: excavate, fill the crack with engineered aggregate, apply a watertight membrane
- Sump pumps with optional battery backup, plus underpinning, basement lowering and stone and rubble foundation work
- Family owned in Ottawa for over 20 years, based on Ramsayville Road in the east end
- 5.0 from 107 Google reviews, with praise for progress photos, clean sites and after-care visits
Things to Consider
- Office hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and no 24-hour emergency line is listed.
- The website is dated and thin, and publishes no licence, insurance or WSIB details, so request the paperwork.
- The company argues for exterior excavation, so it may not be the pick if you want an interior-only drainage system.

Company Background
About Braden Foundation Construction
Braden Foundation Construction backs its foundation crack repairs with a 35-year waterproofing guarantee, and the company's own website says that warranty is transferable to the next owner of the house. The firm describes itself as a locally owned family business that has served Ottawa for over 20 years, working out of 5300 Ramsayville Road in the Gloucester area on the east side of the city. Its site names Orleans and Nepean among the communities it serves and has dedicated pages for Westboro and the Glebe.
The core method is exterior. Braden Foundation Construction says cracks are best fixed from the outside: the wall is excavated, the crack is filled with an engineered aggregate and a watertight membrane goes over it. The company also argues against interior-only waterproofing in its blog. Beyond that, the service list covers weeping tile and drainage, sump pump supply and installation with optional battery backup, underpinning and basement lowering, stone and rubble foundations, sewer and drain repair, garage floors and new concrete foundations.
Reviewers describe a crew that explains each step. Kim wrote that the foreman sent progress photos and that the firm found the earlier contractor had left only a thin tarp where a membrane belonged. Michel praised a crew led by Angel for protecting his fence and fresh driveway during five crack repairs, and Jenn said Ryan sent a team back to fix a loose sump pump wire years after the install. Joelle credited Ryan, Al and Josee through a three year foundation and environmental problem. None of the reviews we read raised a complaint. Braden Foundation Construction holds 5.0 from 107 Google reviews, read October 21, 2026.
It suits Ottawa owners of poured, block or old stone foundations who want an excavated exterior repair and a long, transferable guarantee. It suits less well anyone shopping only for an interior drainage system, or who needs weekend emergency response, since listed hours are Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. The website is thin and dated and publishes no licence numbers. Ontario has no waterproofing specific licence, so before booking ask for a WSIB clearance certificate, proof of liability insurance, and a written plan for any City of Ottawa permit the work needs. Check the business on the Ontario Business Registry, and ask to read the 35-year warranty in full.
