French Drain in Boucherville

Our French drain services in Boucherville

New French drain installation in Boucherville covers new builds and full replacement of drains that have reached end-of-life. The crew excavates the foundation perimeter down to the concrete footing, lays a bed of clean sized gravel, sets the perforated pipe with a continuous slope of at least 1% toward the outlet, wraps it in geotextile, and connects either to an interior sump pit with a submersible pump, or directly to the municipal storm sewer where the Boucherville bylaw allows it. All work is done to the Quebec Construction Code.

High-pressure cleaning restores flow on a drain clogged by sediment, fine roots, or iron ochre. Our hydroflush equipment pushes water at up to 4,000 PSI through the drain via existing cleanout risers, or through access we create on the spot. In Boucherville sectors where the water table is high, we recommend a preventive flush every 5 to 8 years to keep slow sedimentation from eventually choking flow and causing a backup.

Camera inspection rides along with our work. Before the job, it confirms the exact cause of the problem, whether a collapsed drain, a mature tree root, an iron-ochre deposit, or simple sediment. After the job, it verifies the drain is clean and functional along the full length. The video and the written report go to you for your records or for an insurance claim if one comes up later.

In the Boucherville sectors where the water table runs high, iron ochre builds up gradually inside the pipe. Our removal protocol combines high-pressure hydroflush, suitable chemical treatment, and installation of extra cleanout risers so the system can be monitored periodically without another excavation. On new installs in at-risk zones, we specify BMT corrugated pipe rather than standard perforated PVC, which significantly extends the useful life of the system.
