Our foundation repair services in Sherbrooke
The harsh winters of the Eastern Townships and the freeze-thaw cycles put the foundations to the test. In Sherbrooke, clay soils combined with temperature variations regularly cause cracks to appear in concrete foundations. Our local team offers a full range of services to protect your property:
The injection of foundation cracks is our main specialty. This proven technique makes it possible to permanently seal cracks using polyurethane or epoxy injection resins, depending on the nature of the problem. For cases requiring increased protection against humidity, we offer foundation waterproofing as well as the installation of interior French drains.
We also intervene for the repair of deteriorated concrete joints and work on formwork concrete foundations. Whether your property is located in the Old North, the Fleurimont district or the Rock Forest–Saint-Élie–Deauville sector, our team travels everywhere in Sherbrooke and the surrounding area.

Sherbrooke: foundations on the Eastern Townships hills
Sherbrooke, a metropolis of the Eastern Townships and a university city, is built at the confluence of the Magog and Saint-François rivers in a hilly Appalachian landscape. The rugged topography of the city creates highly variable drainage conditions. Neighbourhoods sloping towards rivers are subject to significant runoff in the spring, while areas at the bottom of the valley accumulate surface water. The Eastern Townships subsoil, composed of glacial till on Appalachian rock, generally offers good load-bearing, but the pockets of clay present in the lowlands cause localized settlement.
The Magog Gorges and the water table
The gorges of the Magog River cross downtown Sherbrooke and influence the water level over a wide area. The south-centre, Jacques-Cartier and Lennoxville neighbourhoods, which are located near these waterways, experience spring upwellings that exert hydrostatic pressure on the foundations. Houses from the 1950s to 1980s, many of which are in these areas, frequently have cracks aggravated by this recurrent humidity. Injection of foundation cracks prior to the thaw period is strongly recommended.
