Waterloo Region • In-house crews
Buying, selling, or just staring at a crack in Galt, Cambridge? We inspect the wall, the water, and the soil story — then we tell you if you need work or if you can go back to your Saturday.
Foundation Inspection — no obligation
Galt, Cambridge sits in Waterloo Region, where Grand River floodplain moisture, settlement on filled lots, and aging block foundations. Mill-era stone and brick along the Grand plus post-war bungalows and 1990s subdivisions. When we inspect foundations here, we design for that — not a generic “Southern Ontario” brochure.
Galt mill-era stone and brick drink river moisture. Repointing without drainage is a wasted weekend.
We still treat this as a Cambridge job: same crews, same warranty, but we show up already knowing how Galt lots drain (or don’t).
Free inspection. Photos. A number. No hard close.

Crack map, moisture, bow, efflorescence, sump, and wood in contact with damp concrete.

If the answer is “keep the downspouts on and watch it,” that is the answer.
Photos help with insurance, realtors, and your future self.
