Pointe-à-la-Croix: Foundation cracks in the Gaspé border
Pointe-à-la-Croix, located at the eastern tip of Chaleur Bay facing New Brunswick, is a village at the crossroads of two provinces. The proximity of the Restigouche River and its estuary maintains high moisture levels in the surrounding soils, creating conditions conducive to seepage and foundation cracks. The subsoil, made up of marine deposits from the Goldthwait Sea mixed with glaciofluvial gravels, has a variable bearing capacity that favours differential settlement.
A demanding Gaspé maritime climate
The climate of Pointe-à-la-Croix combines the maritime humidity of the Chaleur Bay with cold winters. Temperatures frequently hover around freezing between November and April, multiplying freeze-thaw cycles much more than in strictly continental regions. Each cycle expands and contracts the concrete, gradually widening the microcracks. Sea air also accelerates the corrosion of formwork rods in concrete, creating additional infiltration points.
Solutions for the foundations of the Baie des Chaleurs
Crack injection with flexible polyrethane is the preferred method in this sector, as it resists structural movements caused by unstable soil. For older homes in Pointe-à-la-Croix, a complete inspection identifies all vulnerable points. We also serve the neighbouring municipalities of Listuguj, Carleton-sur-Mer and Paspébiac, as well as Campbellton across the bridge.
