FEET OF CLAY Wes Smiderle

Patrick Lecours sometimes feelslike a doctor. He listens to thesymptoms, probes deeper into

the problem and then presents ad iagnos i s . A l so l i ke a doctor,Lecours’s conclusions can leave hispatients with a queasy sensation.

“Most people aren’t familiar with theissues,” says Lecours, president of Mr.Foundation on Polytek Street. “Most peo-ple figure if you buy a house, it’s good.Like a loaf of bread. You buy a loaf ofbread and it’s good. You don’t expect to putit in your cupboard and it’ll flatten out.”

Foundation damage is becomingincreasingly common around Ottawa.Problems have cropped up in severalneighbourhoods in both new and olddevelopments, including in the east end.

It begins as a spidery cluster of crackscreeping across the walls inside a base-ment or garage. As time passes, the costand the consequences can g row tobecome the size of an earthquake.

For many homeowners, the roots ofthe damage may go back about 20,000years.

In those days, there was a vast body ofs a l t w at e r, n ow re f e r re d t o a s t h eChamplain Sea, extending from as farwest as what is now Pembroke, rollingacross Ottawa to what would become theSt. Lawrence River and then extendingeastward almost as far as Quebec City. Asthe glaciers retreated, so did the sea, leav-ing large pockets of sensitive marine clay(also known as “Leda clay”) in its wake.

That clay still exists in thick pockets atvarying depths beneath Ottawa (onerecent study estimated about 30 per centof Ottawa is resting above a layer ofmarine clay).

Why your home might be resting on a house of cards

Feet of Clay, Part Three

Wes Smiderle

Call it a grey area lurkingunderneath the foundationof provincial building code

regulations.There are at least two provisions in

the Ontario Building Code governingthe rules and regulations for thedesign of buildings constructed onsensitive marine clay. It’s unclear, how-ever, whether those regulations applyif the clay is located deeper beneaththe surface.

“Does ‘constructed on’ mean actuallyphysically on the clay? That’s a difficultone,” says Andrew Steen, a buildingcode advisor with the province. “Then, Isuppose, it becomes a legal issue.”

It has already become a legal issuein Ottawa, where residents in onesouth end neighbourhood are in themidst of negotiations to claim costsfrom the city for damage to the founda-tion of their homes. A Toronto engi-neering firm concluded the damagestemmed from layers of sensitivemarine clay deep beneath the ground.As a result of numerous factors, theclay dried out and caused the founda-tions of some of the homes above tocrack and resettle.

Patrick Lecours, president of Mr.Foundation repair on Canotek Road,believes the problem is already spread-ing to the east end and elsewhereacross the city.

About 30 per cent of Ottawa is locat-ed above pockets of sensitive marineclay (aka, leda clay), remnants of theancient Champlain Sea that covered theentire region about 10,000 years ago.

The clay contains a high amount ofwater. It’s susceptible to tremors andvibrations. When the clay dries out, itef fectively collapses. Engineers,foresters, geologists and foundationrepair experts such as Lecours allbelieve that recent drought-like condi-tions combined with the “urbaniza-tion” of Ottawa have caused pockets ofthe clay to dry out in various areasaround the city.

The result is an increasing amountof foundation damage in homes andgarages in both old and new develop-ments around the city.

Breaking new ground

Lecours, who has seen his founda-tion repair business grow sharply inthe past few years, believes the City ofOttawa should impose rules that devel-opers implement mitigation measureswhen building properties on landabove clay deposits.

A representative from the city saidthe issue was the responsibility of theprovincial government.

Steen, who admits that sensitivemarine clay falls in a grey area withinthe regulations, notes that it’s up the cityto enforce the provincial building code.

Murray Sarafinchin, the Toronto-based engineering consultant whostudied the problem for the city lastyear, disagrees. He believes it’s aresponsibility of the provincial, oreven federal, governments.

The one thing they all agree on isthat the problem of sensitive marineclay isn’t going away and current regu-lations just don’t cover it.

“ T h i s i s b r a n d n e w, ” s ay sSarafinchin. “There’s really been nosignificant quantification of this prob-lem in the past from what we couldfind . . . Clearly, there aren’t require-ments in building codes, nationallyand in Ontario. There will be a need toaddress this in some way.”

Until then, Lecours advises home-owners, and home buyers, to be awareof the issue.

Although he says most of the prob-lems he fixes are “15 years in the mak-ing,” foundation damage caused bysensitive marine clay can take place inhomes that are just five years old.

“Most people want to deny there’s aproblem. It’s human nature,” saysLecours, “but the day you put the ‘ForSale’ sign up is the day it becomes anissue.”

Signs of possible damage includesmall, hairline fractures along theparging (finished coat) on the concretewalls in the home or garage. One suchcrack isn’t unusual, but five or six inone area could be a warning sign.Jammed doors and windows andsunken portions on the property arealso potential signs.

When it comes to fixing the prob-lem, Lecours recommends followinga n “ e n g i n e e re d s o l u t i o n . ” T h i srequires excavation, testing, a soilengineer’s report and a structuralengineer to uncover the precise prob-lem and suggest a solution. Lecoursadmits it can be a lengthy, expensiveprocess but says it’s much better thanhaving to go back and fix a faultyrepair job.

For home-buyers, Lecours recom-

mends f inding a thorough homeinspector (properly insured) and, ifdoubts remain, even consult a founda-tion expert.

He says it isn’t just homeownerswho need to be aware of the issue.

“We’re doing our best to educatedevelopers,” says Lecours.

According to Lecours, developerscould install preventative measures toguard against foundation damage fromsensitive clay, but this would likelyincrease the price of a home by $10,000or $20,000.

“Ultimately it’s the city that givespermission to the builders to build onthat land,” says Lecours. “The cityknows the issue, they should be forc-ing the builder to apply the tech-niques.”

He feels the city is still about two orthree years away from even recogniz-ing the need to change regulations.

Sarafinchin compares the situationto the evolution of earthquake guide-lines.

“You could build for 50 years ormore and not have any problems,” hesays. “Then one earthquake comesalong and breaks part of a structure,and all buildings must be designed toresist earthquake . . . Each time there’sanother event, it changes the require-ments because we’re dealing with geo-logical time here. We’re just a speck interms of geological time.”

Sarafinchin suggests that as thesummers grow hotter, and the claybeneath Ottawa gets drier, foundationdamage will become more prevalentand the building code — and itsenforcement — will be forced to catchup with the new reality.

“But we’re just not at that stageyet,” he says. “We’re probably, I wouldthink, several years away from solvingthis. It’s not something that will bedone overnight.”

The new fall and winter fashions with all the tweed fabriclooks bulky on me. How can I look fashionable withoutcompromising my appearance?

Thicker-textured fabrics like the tweed you see now do not

suit everyone.That’s O.K. Stick with your classic looks in solid

colours for your staple pieces such as pants, tops and jackets.

However, feel free to add a bit of tweed and texture in a pair

of gloves, a scarf, a broach, shoes or purse.The additional ben-

efit is that once that trend disappears, you still have great clas-

sic clothes to take you to the next year and your trendy acces-

sories didn’t cost you a fortune!

If you have any fashion questions or would like more informa-

tion about services, call or email Kathleen at

kathladelpha@hotmail.com She would be pleased to help you.

Computer TroubleshootingQuestion: How do I know I have Spyware?

Answer:Maybe you've heard of it, maybe not. Either way, chances are, if youuse the Internet, there's some spyware on your computer right now.If so, it's not the end of the world.What is it? It is any technology that aids in gathering informationabout a person or organization without their knowledge. A relatedterm, adware, is defined to be any software application in whichadvertising banners are displayed while the program is running."Spyware could be the cause if: your computer seems to "have a mindof its own", has slowed down considerably, appears to be sendingemail without your knowledge, or seems “busy” when you’re notdoing anything. One other thing I’d like to point out is the danger ofwhat are known as “peer-to-peer” file sharing programs such asKazaa. Although some people manage to enjoy the benefits of theseprograms/services without apparent problems, I’ve just seen toomany computers that eventually became unusable after having Kazaa(or other similar programs) installed and running for awhile.

WHAT IS TINNITUS?Tinnitus is a sound that only the person suffering can hear. It is a condition invisible to the external world, which can contribute in making the situation even more tragic for the person suffering. Around 4 million in Canada are suffering from various degrees of tinnitus. The person affected can hear the sound of a shower, windor whistling permanently or occasionally. These sounds can influencegood appreciation of a conversation.

Tinnitus is a sign of deficiency in the auditory system or in the areasaround the auditory system. The brain registers these changes andtreats them in the same manner as if the sound came from an externalsource. It is very difficult to find the exact cause of tinnitus but it ispossible to relieve and in some case, eliminate the problem using different treatment or techniques.

David Villeneuve has lived inFallingbrook for 20 years. He hasvivid memories of what his

street looked like when he and hisfamily first moved in, before construc-tion crews had laid down the sod.

“Sticky wet clay everywhere,” herecal ls with a laugh. “My bootsweighed about 10 pounds each.”

Villeneuve was so struck by the

sight that he wrote an essay for theFallingbrook Community Associationon the prevalence of the sensitivemarine clay (aka, “Leda” clay) and itsimpact on local construction projectslike the trunk sewer line installationalong Tenth Line Road in 1989.

“Leda clay is particularly treacher-ous, since it can suddenly slide,” wroteVilleneuve. “The contractors who exca-vated for the sewer were particularlyconcerned that Tenth Line Road mightslide into their hole. The remnants of

such landslides can still be seen alongthe escarpment in Beacon Hill North.”

Sensitive marine clay remains asource of historical curiosity forVilleneuve. For hundreds of residentsin Ottawa’s south end, however, theclay has become a home-wrecker caus-ing damage that could require tens ofthousands of dollars to repair.

In the fall of 2001, a group of residentsdiscovered signs of foundation damagein their homes including jammed doors,cracked walls, and sunken trenches of

soil. Beginning in 2002, homeowners metwith councillors and city staff in a seriesof public meetings.

The residents, the city and the mediawere all quick to blame the extensivenetwork of tree roots for drying out thelayers of clay in the ground beneaththeir homes. Sensitive marine clay hasa high water content. As it dries out, theclay’s shape collapses and the founda-tions far above can sink or crack.

The city brought in SarafinchinConsulting Engineers, a Toronto-basedcompany, to conduct a technical analy-sis investigating the sensitive marineclay deposits and whether the sur-rounding trees were to blame for thedamage.

“We certainly saw some indicationsof that, without a doubt,” recallsMurray Sarafinchin. “However, therewere situations where we didn’t havethese types of tree environments andwe still had some cracking. So ourstudy really looked at what some of thepossible causes were.”

Seeing the forest for the trees

C a r s o n G r o ve r e s i d e n t G u yBrassard is a member of the City ofOttawa’s Forests and GreenspaceAdvisory Committee. Earlier this year,Brassard met with a forester at theCity of Montreal, a municipality withclay deposits similar to Ottawa’s. Theydiscussed the problem and whatimpact trees had in drying out the soil.

“There are all sorts of things thatcontribute to foundation damage,” saysBrassard. “Some of these do not at allimplicate trees and some can. Trees areonly one of many possible factors thatcould affect it . . . Even if there is a treeclose to the foundation it may not bethe cause of the damage at all.”

Brassard says drought-like weatherconditions are the main factor leadingto damage.

The presence of water-absorbingtrees is one of many other factors thatcontribute to drier soil, including con-struction and excavation, heat emanat-

ing from the house or other nearbystructures, and any drainage systemsthat draw water away from the house.

“You’re almost in a catch-22 situa-tion here,” says Brassard. “Sometimesdraining water away can spare thefoundation, but it will dry out soil andlead to clay settling and cause founda-tion damage.”

According to City of Ottawa foresterCraig Huff, the city has had a formalsystem to evaluate and remove treesthat residents felt could be causingfoundation damage since 1997.

Over the past seven years, Huff hasnoticed the number of complaints overtrees causing foundation damage hasincreased during periods of hot, dryweather. He notes 2001 was a very dry year.

He believes trees are easy culprits,but are really just a one of many fac-tors drying out the clay. In some cases,they could even help prevent it. “A lotof trees can be shading the home andtherefore might be helping to containmoisture.”

Concrete desert

Sarafinchin agrees that althoughtrees are a factor, they remain a minorone. He instead blames dry climate andoverall “urbanization.”

“[Sensitive marine] clay begins witha relatively high moisture content,” hesays. “With urbanization and thedevelopment of any urban area, wehave roads, we have asphalt. We havepeople with patios. We have houseswith roofs. Basically we end up withless precipitation and less water get-ting into the soil by virtue of the fact ofurban sprawl.”

SIFTING CLAY

Foundation repairman Patrick Lecours, speaking to students in Orleans,says his business has grown the past few years, largely because of thesensitive marine clay shifting underneath Ottawa homes. Photo by Wes Smiderle

Patrick Lecours, president of Mr.Foundation on Polytek Street, haswatched his foundation repair busi-ness boom over the past few years. Hehas no doubt that sensitive marine clayis behind the rash of new clients withboth old and new homes.

He believes “global warming” andthe urban expansion are the key trig-gers. He feels the continued residentialand commercial development takingplace throughout Ottawa — and par-ticularly in Orléans and Cumberland— has as much of an impact on theclay as any drought.

As development expands outwardfrom the initial city centre, the condi-tions of the ground beneath earlier (orinner) development can change. Theconstruction of more homes and moreinfrastructure reduces moisture of the

soil beneath the older developments.“It starts to become affected because

it’s not the same water table it wasbuilt on back in, say, 1990,” saysLecours. “If you’ve got a house on thatpatch, you’re potentially in trouble.”

‘Due diligence’

Lecours believes developers shouldexercise “due diligence” when it comesto building in areas above sensitivemarine clay deposits.

By the term “due diligence,” herefers to measures such as sinking pre-construction piers to stabilize thef o u n d a t i o n i n a r e a s a b ove c l aydeposits in order to prevent problemsbefore they occur.

Exercising precautionary measureswould stabilize the foundation, but alsoincrease the cost of the house by$20,000 to $30,000. Lecours believeshomeowners would be happy to pay theprice if it meant a secure foundation —and avoiding major structural andfinancial headaches down the road.

Lecours’s repair methods includeinstalling concrete and steel pushpiers to underpin or repair sunkenareas beneath the existing foundation.He’s also a certified installer forRamJack, a hydraulic piering system.Majors repairs can cost tens of thou-sands of dollars.

Lecours says he’s doing his best to“educate” developers about the prob-lem, but believes most of them willbalk at the added cost of exercisingdue diligence. He thinks a solution ismore likely to come either from thedemands of home-buyers who are bet-ter informed on the issue, or from reg-ulations governing residential devel-opment.

“Eventually, I think it’s going tobecome a city issue,” says Lecours. “Thecity is going to mandate what they wantin order to protect the homeowner.”
