What We Offer
Service
French Drain Installation
A professionally installed French drain is your home's primary defense against foundation water damage and basement flooding. In our experience working with Laval homeowners, hydrostatic pressure from saturated soil is the leading cause of foundation cracks and leaks. Our French drain installation service effectively intercepts and redirects groundwater before it can reach your foundation walls, keeping your basement dry and preserving your home's structural integrity. This system significantly reduces soil erosion around your property and prevents water pooling in your yard, creating a healthier, more usable outdoor space for your family. By managing subsurface water, you invest in the long-term health and value of your property, backed by our 5-year no-flood guarantee for ultimate security.
Our installation process begins with a meticulous site evaluation to determine the optimal path and depth for the trench around your foundation.
Service
Sump Pump Installation
A reliable sump pump is the heart of an effective basement waterproofing system, providing active protection against flooding during heavy rainfall and spring thaws. For Laval homeowners, a high-quality sump pump isn't a luxury; it's essential for preventing catastrophic water damage, mold growth, and the loss of valuable property. Our sump pump installation service ensures that any water collected by your French drain or weeping tile system is safely and automatically ejected away from your home's foundation. We install powerful, efficient pumps that give you peace of mind, knowing your basement is protected 24/7, even during the most severe weather events. This proactive measure is a key component of a complete landscape drainage strategy, safeguarding your home's lower level.
We offer a range of sump pump solutions, including primary submersible pumps, pedestal pumps, and battery backup systems for uninterrupted protection during power outages.
Service
Trench Drain Installation
Trench drains, also known as linear or channel drains, are the ideal solution for managing surface water runoff on hardscapes like driveways, patios, and walkways. For properties in Laval, preventing water from pooling on these surfaces is critical to avoid slippery ice patches in winter and protect the integrity of the pavement from water damage. Our trench drain installation service provides a sleek and highly effective method for capturing and redirecting large volumes of surface water before it can flow towards your home's foundation or garage. This prevents costly erosion, foundation issues, and keeps your paved surfaces safe and accessible year-round, enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of your property's exterior.
Our installation process involves excavating a narrow channel across the paved surface where water tends to collect. We then install pre-sloped or neutral modular channels made from advanced polymers or galvanized steel for maximum durability.
Service
Catch Basin Installation
Catch basins are a critical component of a comprehensive landscape drainage system, designed to collect excess surface water in low-lying areas of your yard. If you have spots on your lawn or in your garden beds where water consistently pools after rain, a catch basin installation can permanently solve the problem. In Laval, these systems are essential for preventing lawn diseases, mosquito breeding grounds, and soil saturation that can harm plant roots and even impact your home's foundation. By capturing runoff at key collection points, our catch basins protect your landscape's health and usability, allowing you to enjoy a lush, well-drained yard regardless of the weather.
Our process for catch basin installation starts with a thorough site evaluation to identify the optimal locations for the basin units. A catch basin is essentially a box installed underground with a grate on top that sits flush with the ground level. As water flows over the grate, it falls into the basin.
Service
Slope Drain Installation
Slope drains provide a targeted and highly effective solution for properties with hills, steep grades, or retaining walls where erosion is a significant concern. For many homes in Laval built on varied topography, managing water flow down a slope is essential to prevent soil loss, landscape damage, and water accumulation at the bottom of the grade, often against the foundation. Our slope drain installation service captures water at the top of an incline and transports it through a secure, non-perforated pipe directly to a safe outlet at the bottom. This prevents water from gaining momentum and washing away topsoil, mulch, and plantings, preserving the beauty and stability of your sloped landscapes.
Installation typically involves placing a catch basin or a similar inlet structure at the top of the slope where water begins to concentrate. This inlet is connected to a solid, smooth-walled pipe that is securely anchored to the hillside.
Service
Dry Well Installation
A dry well is an environmentally friendly and highly effective solution for managing stormwater runoff, particularly for properties without easy access to a municipal storm sewer. This underground structure is designed to collect excess water from sources like roof downspouts, sump pumps, and trench drains, and allow it to slowly percolate back into the ground. For eco-conscious homeowners in Laval, a dry well installation is an excellent way to recharge local groundwater, reduce the burden on public sewer systems, and prevent soil erosion. It's a key component of a sustainable rainwater management strategy that keeps your property dry while respecting the natural water cycle.
Our dry well installation involves excavating a large pit at a suitable location on your property, away from the foundation. The pit is lined with a non-woven geotextile fabric to prevent soil from infiltrating the system.
Service
Surface Drain Installation
Surface drains are versatile, localized solutions designed to eliminate specific problem spots where water pools on your lawn, patio, or other surfaces. Unlike a comprehensive system like a French drain, a surface drain installation targets a single low point, making it a cost-effective fix for isolated drainage issues. For Laval homeowners dealing with a persistent puddle in the middle of the yard or a soggy area near a downspout, this service offers a direct and efficient remedy. By capturing and redirecting this nuisance water, we can restore the health of your lawn, eliminate muddy patches, and make your entire outdoor space more enjoyable and functional after rainfall.
Also known as area drains, the installation involves placing a small catch basin with a grate at the center of the low spot. This basin is connected to an underground pipe that carries the collected water away to a more suitable location.
Service
Gutter System Installation
Your home's gutter system is the first line of defense in a proper rainwater management plan. Functioning gutters are essential for collecting the massive volume of water that lands on your roof and directing it away from your home's foundation, siding, and windows. In Laval, where we experience heavy rain and significant snowmelt, a faulty or undersized gutter system can lead to serious problems, including foundation water damage, basement leaks, and landscape erosion. Our gutter system installation service provides you with a seamless, high-capacity system designed to protect your home's exterior and foundation from the top down, forming the first crucial step in a complete landscape drainage strategy.
We install high-quality seamless aluminum or galvanized steel gutters that are custom-fabricated on-site to perfectly fit your home's dimensions. This eliminates the seams found in sectional gutters, which are common points for leaks and failures.
Service
Downspout Extension
Downspout extensions are one of the simplest yet most impactful improvements you can make to your home's drainage service. Standard downspouts often deposit large concentrations of roof water directly next to the foundation, which is the primary cause of basement leaks and foundation settlement issues for many Laval homes. Our downspout extension service effectively channels this water far away from your foundation walls, discharging it to a location where it can be safely absorbed into the ground or enter a larger drainage system. This affordable solution immediately reduces the hydrostatic pressure against your foundation, protecting your home's structural integrity and keeping your basement dry.
We offer several types of downspout extensions to suit your landscape and budget. This includes simple above-ground extensions that direct water across the lawn, as well as more sophisticated underground solutions.
Service
Drainage Grading
Proper drainage grading is the fundamental principle of surface water management. It involves carefully shaping the land around your home to create a gentle, consistent slope that directs water away from your foundation. For many properties in Laval, especially older homes or those with settled landscaping, improper or negative grading is the root cause of persistent water problems. Our professional drainage grading service corrects these issues by re-contouring your yard to establish positive drainage, ensuring that rainwater and snowmelt naturally flow away from your house instead of towards it. This is the most natural and effective way to prevent water pooling and protect your foundation.
Our process begins with a detailed site evaluation using precision instruments to measure the existing slopes around your foundation. We identify areas with negative grading, low spots, and swales that trap water.
