Pointe-Claire: Foundations on the Clay of the West Island
Pointe-Claire, a municipality on the West Island of Montreal, is built between Lake Saint-Louis and Highway 40. The subsoil of the West Island rests on thick layers of clay from the Champlain Sea, sometimes more than 30 metres thick in the low-lying areas near the lake. This marine clay, deposited about 10,000 years ago, is the main cause of differential settlements that crack foundations in residential neighborhoods. The Valois, Cedar Park and Village areas are particularly affected because of their proximity to the lake and the high water table.
Lake St. Louis and Hydrostatic Pressure
The proximity of Lake Saint-Louis directly influences the water table level in Pointe-Claire. In spring, rising water levels saturate clay soils and exert lateral pressure on the foundation walls. The houses built in the 1950s to 1980s, many of which are in this affluent suburb, have foundations that are approaching 45 to 70 years old. The cracks that have appeared over the decades have widened under the effect of freeze-thaw cycles, allowing water to seep in. The injection of foundation cracks makes it possible to seal these openings permanently.
