Your specialist in foundation work and French drains in Gatineau and the Outaouais

Does your basement seem more damp after heavy rain? Is there a visible crack in a foundation wall? Does water pool near your home or in a specific area of your property? Have you noticed stains, odors, or materials that remain damp?

Water can reach a building in several ways. It may come from an improperly sloped yard, saturated soil, a drain that has become less effective, or an opening in the foundation. Since visible signs don’t always reveal the exact source, it’s important to assess the entire situation before beginning any work.

We offer French drain services in Gatineau and the Outaouais region to better manage water around buildings and address foundation-related issues.

French drain installation

Have you noticed moisture in your basement or water near the foundation? A French drain helps collect water from the ground before it accumulates against the house.

We install French drains in Gatineau and the Outaouais region, taking into account your building, access to the property, and existing landscaping. Our goal is simple: to better manage water around your property and help protect your foundation.

01

Landscape drainage

Does your yard stay soggy after it rains? Do puddles always form in the same spot? The problem may stem from the slope of the land or poor water drainage.

We assess how water flows across your property and then propose a tailored solution. Depending on your needs, we can adjust certain levels or install a drainage system to make your property drier, more practical, and more enjoyable to use.

02

Foundation crack repair

A crack in your foundation can be concerning, especially if it’s letting water in or seems to be getting bigger. It’s best to have it inspected before the problem gets worse.

We examine the affected area and determine the best course of action based on the type of crack and its location. When necessary, we expose the exterior wall to repair the affected section directly and better protect your property.

03

Foundation waterproofing

Moisture in the ground can remain in contact with foundation walls for long periods of time. Over time, this can lead to water infiltration and create a damp environment in the basement.

We prepare the exterior surface of the foundation and then apply a suitable protective coating. This process helps prevent water from penetrating the wall and effectively complements drainage or crack repair work.

04

Foundation excavation

Some projects require access to the portion of the foundation located below ground level. This is particularly the case when repairing a crack, reapplying waterproofing, or installing a French drain.

We plan the excavation based on your property and the available space. We excavate only the necessary areas, then backfill the site once the work is complete, paying close attention to the slopes around the house.

05

Repairing water infiltration

A damp spot, a lingering odor, or a small amount of water in the basement may indicate an exterior problem. Since water doesn’t always enter exactly where it appears, we first need to understand its path.

We take the time to examine the signs you’ve noticed and the conditions around the building. We can then address the likely cause of the leak rather than simply covering up the visible signs inside.
