Foundation Parging

Protect and Improve the Appearance of Your Foundation

Parging is a masonry finish applied to exposed concrete or masonry foundation surfaces. It creates a cleaner, more uniform exterior appearance while helping protect the underlying surface from day-to-day weather exposure.

At Lesway Masonry, we provide new parging and parging repair for residential properties throughout Ottawa. Whether existing parging is cracking, flaking, separating or simply showing its age, we can inspect the condition and recommend the appropriate repair approach.

With more than 21 years of masonry experience, we focus on proper preparation and a smooth, durable finish rather than simply covering over damaged material.

Good parging starts below the surface. Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of achieving a lasting finish.

Our Approach

How We Approach Parging Repairs

A lasting parging repair starts with understanding the condition underneath the damaged finish. We inspect the existing surface before determining the best approach.

1

Inspect the Surface

We review cracks, loose sections, exposed concrete and the overall condition of the existing parging.

2

Prepare the Foundation

Loose and deteriorated material is addressed so the new finish has a properly prepared surface.

3

Apply the Parging

New parging material is applied carefully to create an even, consistent foundation finish.

4

Finish With Care

We focus on clean edges, consistent texture and a finished appearance that works with the rest of the property.

Why Parging Can Deteriorate in Ottawa

Ottawa foundations are exposed to significant seasonal changes. Moisture, snow, ice and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can contribute to cracking and deterioration in exterior masonry finishes.

Parging may also fail when the underlying surface was not properly prepared, when water repeatedly reaches the foundation or when aging material begins losing its bond.

If you notice cracks or flaking around your foundation in Ottawa, Nepean, Barrhaven, Orleans, Kanata or surrounding communities, having the area inspected can help determine whether a localized repair or larger parging restoration is appropriate.

Parging FAQs

Common Questions About Parging Repair in Ottawa

Here are some of the questions homeowners commonly ask when their foundation parging begins cracking, flaking or deteriorating.

What is foundation parging?

Foundation parging is a cement-based masonry coating applied over exposed foundation surfaces to create a smoother, more uniform exterior finish.

Can cracked parging be repaired?

In many cases, yes. The correct repair depends on how extensive the cracking is and whether the existing material is still properly bonded to the foundation.

Yes. Lesway Masonry provides residential foundation parging, concrete parging and parging repair throughout Ottawa and surrounding communities.
