In a city where nearly one dwelling in three dates from the 1970s, the original drain has had its day<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]Longueuil has three boroughs: Vieux-Longueuil (141,794 residents in the 2021 census), Saint-Hubert (87,647) and Greenfield Park (16,965). According to Wikipedia, 32% of the city\u2019s dwellings were built during the 1970s, the decade when the most building took place. A drain laid back then is about 50 years old today, while CAA-Qu\u00e9bec gives about 40 years as a drain\u2019s normal lifespan. Whether you live near Taschereau Boulevard, in Vieux-Saint-Hubert or in Greenfield Park, the first question is the same: has your home\u2019s drain ever been redone?<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]In April 2023, following the floods of September 13, 2022, the City of Longueuil held a public information meeting in Vieux-Longueuil on its drainage network (in French). It reminded residents that, on the private side, water can get in several ways: gutters connected to the foundation drain, cracks in the foundation wall, cracks or joints in the slab, surface runoff, backflow through a missing or faulty valve, or overflow of a retention pit whose pump is inadequate. A new drain fixes only one of those paths, which is why a full diagnosis comes before the excavator. To judge a crack, read When Is a Foundation Crack Serious in Quebec?<\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]In Longueuil, Marco R\u00e9paration de Fondation repairs foundation cracks (polyurethane or epoxy injection), cleans, repairs or replaces French drains, installs interior drains and waterproofing membranes, and excavates around the foundation when the condition of the wall calls for it. Marco does every estimate and every job site inspection himself (RBQ license No. 5775-3246-01). To choose between an exterior and an interior drain, read Interior or Exterior French Drain: Which Should You Choose?<\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row element_id=”375783″ css=”.vc_custom_1576595714206{padding-top: 96px !important;padding-bottom: 56px !important;background-color: #61c2d0 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”testimonials-white”][vc_column]

A pleasure to deal with Marco - top quality, reasonable price and timing. Marco did a perfect job to repair a minor crack in our foundation. Will not hesitate recommending them to anyone.<\/div>

They excavated very carefully to avoid any damage to the neighbor's property, they noticed issues as they went along that required us to make snap decisions and explained all implications to help us make informed decisions, and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was executed perfectly.<\/div>

What the City of Longueuil requires for a French drain<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]These requirements come from the City\u2019s \u201cTravaux de plomberie\u201d technical sheet<\/a> from the planning and urban development department (2025, in French) and from a public presentation by the City<\/a> on bylaw CO-2021-1141 (April 5, 2023, in French). They do not replace the official bylaw: confirm your case with the City (311) before starting.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]\n
