Lac-Mégantic: Foundation Repair in the Appalachian Eastern Townships
Lac-Mégantic, a resilient city in the Eastern Townships, is nestled on the shores of the great Lac Mégantic in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The subsoil of the region is formed by Appalachian sedimentary rock – schist, slate and sandstone – covered with glacial till. The proximity of the lake and the Chaudière River, which has its source there, maintains a high level of moisture in the soil. The hilly terrain creates uneven drainage conditions that promote the accumulation of water around some foundations.
A harsh continental climate
Located at higher altitudes in the Appalachian Mountains, Lac-Mégantic experiences longer and colder winters than lowland cities. The frost penetrates deeply and the accumulations of snow are significant, leading to abundant spring melt that saturates the soil. The foundations of neighbourhoods sloping towards the lake are subject to both surface runoff and rising water table. Foundation cracks are particularly severe during the freeze-thaw transition. Preventive injection before winter is strongly recommended.
Reconstruction and future of Lac-Mégantic
Since the tragedy of 2013, downtown Lac-Mégantic has been rebuilding. New construction benefits from modern standards, but outlying residential neighborhoods retain homes from the 1950s to 1990s with concrete or block foundations that require attention. The flexible polyrethane injection and external waterproofing protect these foundations for a long time. Our contractors serve Lac-Mégantic, Nantes, Saint-Georges and Sherbrooke. Free inspection.
