Every year families choose to make their home in an older house. The reasons are many: well-craft- ed historic designs, quality methods of construc- tion, and cherished details like leaded windows Dr. Joan Craig & Dr. Pierre Isabelle and deep crown moldings. FAMILY DENTISTRY Older homes also come with older foundations. The foundations of many homes in Ottawa South and the Glebe are often formed from a mixture of Fiffh Avenue Court Suite 21-99 Fifth Ave river sand and mortar. This type of foundation Evening Appointments Available may require some simple care, such as installing eavestroughing , grading the ground around the Service Bilingue home or damproofing around the foundation by a qualified professional.
