Our foundation repair interventions
In Victoriaville, the foundations are subject to the freeze-thaw cycles typical of the Centre-du-Québec. These thermal stresses cause the appearance of cracks that require a quick and professional intervention.
Our foundation crack injection service uses proven techniques to restore the waterproofing of your basement. We also offer epoxy injection for cracks requiring structural reinforcement, foundation waterproofing and interior French drain installation.
The repair of deteriorated concrete joints is also one of our specialties, as are interventions on formwork concrete foundations.
Protect your investment in Victoriaville
A crack in a foundation, even a small one, can quickly worsen with spring water infiltration. In Victoriaville, where precipitation is abundant in the spring, it is essential to act at the first signs. Our experts offer a free estimate and an emergency service available at all times.
Service area in the Bois-Francs
In addition to Victoriaville, we serve the entire Bois-Francs and Centre-du-Québec region. Our team regularly intervenes in Drummondville, Sherbrooke and Thetford Mines.
Victoriaville: foundations on the soils of the Bois-Francs
Victoriaville, the capital of the Bois-Francs region and a pioneer in sustainable development in Quebec, is located at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains. The subsoil of the region is a mixture of glacial till, sand and pockets of clay from the Champlain Sea, which dates back 10,000 years. The Nicolet River and its tributaries drain the territory and maintain a water level that varies according to the seasons. The neighbourhoods developed in the 1970s to 2000s along Boulevard des Bois-Francs are based on heterogeneous soils where the behaviour of the land changes from one lot to another.
The deep freeze in Centre-du-Québec
Victoriaville’s continental climate imposes harsh winters with frost that penetrates beyond 1.3 metres. The foundations of 30- to 50-year-old homes are undergoing the accumulation of decades of freeze-thaw cycles that gradually widen the initial shrinkage cracks. In the spring, the rapid melting of the snow saturates the soil and forces water through these openings. Injection of foundation cracks seals these passages before they cause damage to the finished basement.
