Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the ground settle after the work?▾
Because the backfill was not properly compacted, especially in clay. Ask how the contractor handles backfill and whether they plan a return visit to correct natural settling.
When should weeping tile be replaced?▾
When a camera inspection shows blockage, collapse or heavy buildup, and surface causes have been ruled out.
Do I need a permit for an inground pool?▾
Yes, the city requires one, with rules on location, setbacks and fencing. The permit comes before the work.
Is spoil removal included in the price?▾
It should be, along with hauling and disposal. Also clarify backfill and restoring the yard.
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 Terrebonne: what to know
In Terrebonne, residential excavation mainly serves weeping tile, inground pool installation and lot grading, in sectors where clay soil plays a significant role.
Clay soil
Clay holds water and compacts poorly when backfill is rushed. Poor backfill causes settling around the foundation a year or two later. Ask how the contractor plans to backfill and compact, not only how they plan to dig.
Weeping tile
Diagnosis first: gutters, slope, cracks, then a camera inspection of the drain. Excavation follows once the evidence is in.
Pools
A municipal permit is required, with rules on setbacks and the safety fence. Plan machinery access and spoil disposal into the schedule as well.
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.
