Excavation
French drain
Crack repair
You’ve just bought on the Rive-Sud, you’re planning an addition or a major renovation. Before you spend another dollar, knowing exactly what condition everything under your feet is in is the most cost-effective decision you can make.
A French drain at the end of its life, poorly prepared soil, or a weakened foundation discovered mid-project changes budgets and timelines. Found beforehand, it’s handled cleanly, in the right order, and at the right cost.
We open it up, we inspect, we fix what needs fixing, and your project moves forward on solid ground. No guesswork. No costly surprises once the walls are already up.
I’ve just bought a house.
There’s an order to follow. Before you invest in the finishes, a camera inspection confirms the base is solid. We know the right steps. Let us guide you.
I have an existing drain.
Additions are often built at the back of the house, and water needs to drain toward the front. A bad slope, a worn-out drain, and the water just sits there. Under your foundation.
My house is 25 years or older.
Older drains have a limited lifespan. They don’t fail overnight, they break down slowly. Today’s working methods perform better.

You won’t be living on a construction site for weeks. We work fast, we work clean, and when we leave, it shows.
On the Rive-Sud, in Longueuil, Brossard, Chambly, Carignan and Beloeil, homes built before the 1990s are especially exposed. Your French drain is nearing or past its lifespan, and your foundation has been through many freeze-thaw cycles. Now is the right time to find out where you stand, before it becomes urgent.
As early as possible, before spending on finishes or structure. Excavation gives access to what is under your feet: the condition of the French drain, soil preparation, the condition of the foundation. Once the walls are up, a problem discovered along the way blows up the budget and the schedule. Discovered beforehand, it gets sorted out cleanly, in the right order and at the right cost.
A drain can seem to work while being half blocked or cracked. A camera inspection shows what the eye can’t see: the slope, the condition of the joints, roots growing in. We don’t open it up for nothing, but once the excavation is done, it’s the best time to confirm that everything is fine. Afterwards, it would mean extra work just to get access to it.
We take care of the excavation, soil preparation and drains. For the work that follows (foundation, formwork, backfill), we can point you to the right people and coordinate the steps so that nobody ends up waiting. The goal is that you don’t have to manage it all alone.
Yes. Once the work is finished, we backfill, level and leave the land clean. We don’t leave a mess of a job site behind. If exterior finishing work is planned afterwards (landscaping, paving stones, lawn), we make sure the ground is well prepared for what comes next.
Whatever the size of the project, we have the equipment and the team to see it through. Our services include:
The price varies depending on the area to be excavated, the depth, the soil type, access to the lot and what we find beneath the surface. A lot with restricted access or difficult soil isn’t treated like an open one.
You receive a free, detailed quote after the on-site assessment. The price you see is the price you pay.
Mini-excavation uses more compact equipment to work where a large machine can’t go: landlocked backyards, complex lots, restricted access. It lets us do the same work without needlessly damaging your property.
Yes. Pool excavation and demolition are part of our residential excavation services. The land is then backfilled, compacted and restored.
