Repeated settlement
A section sinks again after a surface-only levelling attempt.
Correct the cause beneath the pavers
A Stronger Foundation for the Interlock You Own.
We identify why the surface moved, rebuild the failed support and relay reusable pavers over a properly prepared base.
Repair-first recommendationsLocal Ottawa service
Long-term support
The repair is only as strong as the base below it.
Base depth, aggregate selection, compaction, grading and edge support all influence how an interlock surface performs through Ottawa freeze-and-thaw cycles.
Foundation repair makes it possible to correct the failed area while preserving pavers that remain in good condition.
Ask about your repairWhat to look for
Signs this repair may be needed.
A visible change in the surface can point to a problem with support, restraint or drainage beneath it.
Widespread movement
Several pavers rotate, spread or change elevation together.
Soft outside edges
The perimeter moves because the base or restraint no longer holds it.
Poor drainage
Water enters or washes through the supporting layers beneath the pavers.
The repair process
Fix the problem in the right order.
Every repair begins with the condition beneath the surface—not with a coating or cosmetic shortcut.
- 01Assess the base failure
Review settlement, drainage, grade, edge support and the affected footprint.
- 02Lift reusable material
Remove and organize sound pavers so the original surface can be rebuilt.
- 03Excavate and rebuild
Replace weak material and compact the repaired foundation in controlled layers.
- 04Restore the surface
Relay the pavers, confirm the grade and complete the joints and edges.
Foundation before finish
A permanent repair begins below grade.
Cosmetic work cannot compensate for missing depth, loose aggregate or an unstable edge. The supporting structure must be corrected first.

Common questions
Before you request a quote.
Send photos and a short description if you are unsure which repair applies.
How do you know the base has failed?
The pattern and extent of movement provide clues, but the exact condition becomes clear after affected pavers are lifted and the supporting layers can be inspected.
Can the existing pavers go back down?
Yes, when the pavers are sound. Reusing them preserves the existing pattern and keeps the repair focused on the failed support.
Does every low spot require a full rebuild?
No. The repair footprint should follow the actual failure. A stable surrounding area may not need to be disturbed.
Can drainage be corrected at the same time?
When water movement contributed to the failure, drainage and grade should be addressed as part of the foundation repair.
