Frequently Asked Questions
Is my weeping tile finished?▾
A camera inspection tells you: root intrusion, collapse, ochre buildup. That is the first step before deciding to excavate.
Do I need a permit for an inground pool?▾
Yes, the city requires one, with rules on location, setbacks and the safety fence. The permit is obtained before work starts.
Can moisture be solved without digging?▾
Sometimes. Extending downspouts, correcting the lot slope and sealing a crack are enough in some cases. An honest diagnosis starts there.
Where does the excavated soil go?▾
Hauling and disposal are part of the price and belong in the quote. Ask whether final backfill is included.
How do I verify a contractor is licensed?▾
Ask for the RBQ licence number and search the Régie du bâtiment du Québec public registry.
Excavation & Earthworks in Laval: what to know
In Laval, residential excavation work centres on three projects: weeping tile for homes built between 1960 and 1980, inground pool installation, and lot grading.
Weeping tile
Homes of that era are at or past the theoretical life of their drain. Before excavating, have the cause of the moisture diagnosed: gutters, lot slope, a crack or a blocked drain. A camera inspection costs a fraction of the excavation.
Inground pools
Excavation is only part of the project: machinery access, spoil disposal, electrical work and final grading all need planning. A municipal permit is required, with rules on fencing and setbacks.
Grading
A slope directing water toward the house is a frequent cause of basement moisture, and it can often be corrected without touching the drain.
Licence
The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
