Frequently Asked Questions

My basement takes water. Is it the foundation?▾

Not necessarily. Gutters, lot slope and a blocked drain explain a large share of cases. Diagnosis must come before excavation.

Is injection a durable solution?▾

For an isolated crack in a stable concrete wall, yes, with a written warranty. For a wall that is moving, it only masks the problem.

What happens to my finished basement?▾

Interior work means removing part of the finishes. Ask for restoration to be priced in the quote from the start.

When is an engineer needed?▾

With settling, a horizontal crack or progressive movement. The report frames the work and protects your investment.

What warranties should I ask for?▾

A written warranty on the repair, its term and scope, with proof of insurance and the CNESST clearance.

Foundation & Waterproofing in Laval: what to know

In Laval bungalows and cottages from 1960 to 1985, foundation problems almost always show up as basement water or a crack letting moisture through.

Diagnosis before work

Before accepting a full excavation, have the simple causes checked: downspouts discharging at the wall, lot sloping toward the house, a blocked weeping tile. Many damp basements are corrected without touching the foundation.

Cracks

A fine vertical crack is often repaired by injection. A horizontal or stair-step crack in a block wall signals lateral pressure and calls for a more serious assessment.

Finished basements

If the basement is finished, interior work means removing part of the finishes. Rebuilding must appear in the quote, otherwise the final bill surprises.

Licence

The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
