Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I start with a damp basement?▾
With gutters and lot slope, then cracks, then the drain. Those checks cost little and sometimes avoid a full excavation.
What does a camera inspection show?▾
The inside of the drain: roots, collapse, blockage, ochre. It is the evidence that justifies excavation, or rules it out.
How long does the job take?▾
For a single-family home with good access, often a few days including backfill and grading. Ask for the schedule in the contract.
Are backfill and grading included?▾
They must be spelled out in the quote, along with spoil disposal and restoring the yard. This is a frequent source of misunderstanding.
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 Lévis: what to know
In Lévis, residential excavation mainly involves weeping tile for older homes, lot grading, and preparation for an extension or a pool.
Weeping tile
Diagnose before digging. A damp basement can come from a downspout discharging at the foundation, an unfavourable slope, a crack or the drain itself. A camera inspection settles it for a fraction of the excavation cost.
Bedrock and variable soils
Rock depth varies by sector. The contractor should state how that possibility would be handled and billed, before starting.
Grading
Correcting the slope around the house is often the most cost-effective move against moisture, and far cheaper than a new drain.
Licence
The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance. Locating underground utilities is mandatory before digging.
