Frequently Asked Questions
My lot slopes. Will the drain be enough?▾
Often not on its own. Surface water also has to be managed: grading, interception upslope, extended downspouts. The drain handles groundwater, not runoff.
How do I know if there is bedrock?▾
From local experience and sometimes a test hole. Ask how the contractor treats that possibility in the quote, to avoid a mid-job surprise.
Must utilities be located before digging?▾
Yes, it is mandatory and free. It prevents cutting a gas line, an electrical cable or a telecom line.
Which season is best?▾
Spring through fall. Frozen ground makes excavation and backfilling harder and more expensive.
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 Sherbrooke: what to know
Sherbrooke is a city of slopes. That topography complicates excavation and directly shapes basement water problems.
Surface runoff
A house at the bottom of a hill takes water from neighbouring lots. Weeping tile alone does not solve surface runoff: grading often has to be corrected, water intercepted upslope, or downspouts rerouted. A contractor who only offers to dig without looking at the surrounding ground is missing half the problem.
Bedrock
In several sectors, rock sits at shallow depth. Method and cost change, and the contractor should raise it before the work, not during.
Sloped access
Machinery must be able to climb and descend safely. On steep ground, that can mean smaller equipment and a longer job.
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.
