Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my crack open in summer?▾
In clay soil, dry-season shrinkage lowers part of the foundation. The movement often reverses in spring. Monitoring with markers establishes the real amplitude.
Should I remove the tree near the house?▾
Not automatically. A mature tree dries clay in summer, which can accentuate shrinkage, but the diagnosis should weigh all factors before a final decision.
When are piles necessary?▾
When settling is confirmed and progressive. An engineer's report should precede this type of work, which is expensive and permanent.
How do I choose among several quotes?▾
By starting from a shared diagnosis. Without a report, each contractor proposes their own solution and the prices are not comparable.
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 Terrebonne: what to know
Several Terrebonne sectors sit on clay soils that react to moisture swings. Clay swells when saturated and shrinks in dry spells, which works the foundation.
Seasonal movement
A crack that opens in summer and closes in spring often signals that soil movement. Monitoring over time, with markers, helps distinguish stabilised movement from progressive movement.
Trees
A large tree near the house dries the clay in summer and accentuates shrinkage. That is not a reason to remove it automatically, but it is a factor in the diagnosis.
Piles
When settling is confirmed, piles carry the load below the unstable layer. It is specialised work, framed by an engineer's report and a written warranty.
Licence
The contractor must hold a Régie du bâtiment du Québec licence, liability insurance and a CNESST clearance.
