Rivière-du-Loup: foundation cracks between the river and the mountains

Rivière-du-Loup, a dynamic city in the Bas-Saint-Laurent, is built on tiered terraces that descend towards the St. Lawrence River. This tiered topography, inherited from postglacial uplift, creates drainage conditions that vary greatly from one district to another. The higher areas near Highway 20 are based on rock or compact till, while the lower areas towards the river are built on thick layers of Goldthwait Sea clay, which is particularly problematic for the foundation.

Marine clay in the Bas-Saint-Laurent

The Goldthwait Sea, a former postglacial sea, has deposited layers of clay along the entire coastline of the Lower St. Lawrence. In Rivière-du-Loup, these deposits sometimes reach more than 20 metres thick in the lower terraces. This sensitive clay responds to moisture changes with cycles of swelling and shrinkage that cause differential settlements under the foundation. The neighbourhoods of Vieux-Rivière-du-Loup and Lafontaine Street are particularly affected. Diagonal cracks on the foundation walls are common.

Waterfalls and the water table

The Rivière du Loup, with its spectacular waterfalls in the heart of downtown, illustrates the power of water in the area. This river, fed by the Appalchian Mountains, maintains a high water table in the residential areas along the river. In the spring, snowmelt causes floods that saturate the soil and increase the hydrostatic pressure against the foundation walls. Preventive crack injection is recommended before this critical period.

Regional hub and active real estate market

As an economic hub in the Bas-Saint-Laurent, Rivière-du-Loup has an active real estate market where the condition of the foundations directly influences the value of properties. Savvy buyers require a foundation inspection before any transaction. Sellers who proactively repair cracks with polyrethane or epoxy injection protect the value of their investment. Our contractors also serve Rimouski, Matane and Kamouraska.
