Frequently Asked Questions
My basement is damp. Does the weeping tile need replacing?▾
Not necessarily. Moisture can come from gutters, an unfavourable lot slope, a foundation crack or a blocked drain. A diagnosis, sometimes with a camera inspection, should come before excavation.
Do utilities have to be located before digging?▾
Yes, it is mandatory, free and requested before any excavation. Cutting an underground line endangers workers and the neighbourhood, and it is expensive.
Does tight access change the price?▾
Considerably. A back yard reachable only through a narrow lane requires small machinery, sometimes hand work, and lengthens the job.
How long does a weeping tile job take?▾
For a single-family home with good access, often a few days. In a dense area with difficult access, expect longer and confirm the schedule in writing.
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 Montréal: what to know
Excavating in Montreal means working in tight quarters. Alleys, shared lot lines, mature trees, street parking: machinery access is often the first obstacle, before the soil itself.
Weeping tile
This is the most common residential excavation job in the city. A damp basement is not always a drain problem: it can come from gutters, lot slope or a crack. A serious contractor looks for the cause before proposing to dig around the house.
Before digging
Locating underground infrastructure is mandatory before any excavation. It is free, requested through the locate service, and it prevents cutting a gas line or an electrical cable.
Neighbours and the street
An excavation site in a dense area needs authorisation to occupy the street or sidewalk. Your borough regulates that, and it belongs in the schedule.
Licence
The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
