Foundation Inspection built for Pleasant Valley, Dundas

Dundas does not fail foundations in theory. It fails them with valley clay at the base of the escarpment that stays saturated after rain. Heritage downtown streets, hillside lots, and 1960s–80s pockets near University Gardens. When we inspect foundations here, we design for that — not a generic “Southern Ontario” brochure.
