Why is the parging falling off my Edmonton foundation?

Common causes are freeze-thaw cycling working into cracks, moisture penetration behind the coat, downspouts draining too close to the wall, foundation settling, ageing mortar, salt from driveways and walkways, and parging applied over a painted or sealed surface that never bonded. Edmonton winters make freeze-thaw and moisture the most frequent drivers of parge failure.

Can parging be repaired or does it all need replacing?

It depends on how much is failing. Localized cracks and missing patches with a sound surrounding coat are usually a repair. Widespread loss of adhesion, parging coming off in sheets, or a coat applied over paint often warrants a full refresh or replacement. Depend Exteriors taps and inspects the coat and recommends the option that lasts.

How much does parging repair cost in Edmonton?

Cost depends on the size and depth of the damage, the number of separate repair spots, the condition of the surrounding coat, and site access, so repairs are quoted per job rather than at a flat rate. Bundling parging repair with other exterior work can be more efficient. A written on-site quote gives the reliable figure.
