Looking for french drain experts?

A French drain works with gravity. Water follows the ebb and flow of the earth's guiding principle, and thus, the drain carries water downstream. This sloped trench provides a method to help homeowners avoid damp patches on their lawn or property by regulating drainage, and keeping things dry in places where it's necessary.

The installation of foundation drainage systems must comply with the Quebec Construction Code as well as the requirements of the Régie du bâtiment du Québec (RBQ). In practice, professionals also refer to standards from the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ) for material selection and installation methods.

Needless to say, the long-term durability of a house depends heavily on the lack of seepage, above all in the foundation. Excessive humidity can have devastating and damaging long-term effects, both on your home and your health. Moreover, mould and bacteria growth can end up being very costly.
