Mini-excavation in Repentigny

Our mini-excavation services in Repentigny

Our primary work in Repentigny is foundation access. When a homeowner notices basement water infiltration, a crack that weeps during the thaw, or a clogged French drain, we excavate the affected perimeter down to the concrete footing. That opening then lets us bond a waterproofing membrane (Delta-MS, elastomeric or liquid), inject a crack from the outside, or fully replace the foundation drain. Rubber-tracked machines leave minimal marks on the lawn, and we backfill in compacted lifts to prevent later settling.

French drain installation is the second core part of our work in the area. We excavate around the perimeter, lay a bed of clean sized gravel, set the perforated pipe with the continuous slope required by the Quebec Construction Code, cover with geotextile, and install cleanout risers at the four corners. In Repentigny neighbourhoods near the water, where hydrostatic pressure runs high, that detail is the difference between a drain that lasts 30 years and one that clogs in 10.

We also dig plumbing and utility trenches: new water service, sewer connection, natural-gas line, underground electrical, or a sump-pump discharge line. For Repentigny properties that are not on municipal sanitary sewer — mostly on the western edge toward Le Gardeur and parts of the northern residential zone — we also prep the ground for septic systems: excavating the leaching field to the engineer's plans, levelling, and final backfill.

Our strength is precision in tight spaces. Narrow side yards, access through a 36-inch gate, immediate neighbours to respect, mature landscaping to protect — the mini-excavator threads its way where standard equipment would give up. We restore the site after every job: topsoil replaced, lawn reseeded, or paving stones reset, matching what was there before the work started.
