Your foundation specialist
in Montreal

On the island of Montreal, many houses and plexes were built before 1970. Their original foundation drains, often made of clay, are reaching the end of their life: they crack, collapse or clog, and water ends up in the basement.

Fissure et Drain XT works across the island, from Ahuntsic to Rivière-des-Prairies, on French drain replacement, crack injection, foundation waterproofing and camera inspection. Every job starts with a clear diagnosis, and the quote is free with no obligation.

Common problems

What we often see
in Montreal

Original clay drains

Houses built before 1980 often have clay drains that fracture over time. A camera inspection confirms their condition before any digging.

Narrow lots and laneways

Limited access between buildings makes excavation harder. Cracks can be injected from inside, with no digging.

Older plex foundations

Older concrete or stone foundations often have cracks that let water in during the spring thaw.

Clay soil

The region’s clay soil holds water and increases pressure on foundation walls during heavy rain.
