About East Kildonan and its foundations
The neighbourhood's proximity to the Red River raises the local water table and keeps gumbo saturated longer in spring. That's the pressure that bows basement walls.
Many older homes along Henderson and the side streets have block foundations from the 1950s–60s that respond well to carbon fiber and exterior waterproofing.
What we typically see in East Kildonan
- Bowing basement walls (especially block).
