Foundation parging is the first line of defence against Ottawa's climate. Your home's foundation is exposed to freeze-thaw cycles, salt spray, and moisture year-round — and uncovered concrete or block is vulnerable to all of it.
Parging is a cement-based coating applied directly to the foundation and lower walls, creating a smooth, water-resistant surface that covers cracks, exposed aggregate, and spalling before they become structural problems. We clean the substrate, key the surface properly, and apply parging in the correct thickness — no shortcuts on prep.
Prep work is everything in parging. The most common reason parging fails within 2–3 years isn't the material — it's the application. DIY jobs and cheap contractors skip surface cleaning, skip proper keying, and apply parging too thin or in the wrong conditions. The result is delamination: parging that cracks, bulges, and peels away from the foundation in sheets.
Everlast treats every foundation job the same way: pressure wash and clean the substrate, mechanically key the surface to create a proper bond profile, apply the parging mix at the correct thickness and consistency, and protect the job during curing. No rushing to the next job. No application in freezing temps.
That's why our work lasts when others don't. A properly bonded parging job on a prepared substrate will outlast cheap work by a decade or more.
