From 17th-century villages to 1960s suburbs, homes of every age<\/span> in Laval<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]Laval was incorporated on August 6, 1965 from fourteen municipalities that are now its neighbourhoods: Chomedey, Sainte-Rose, Vimont, Duvernay, Auteuil, Pont-Viau, Fabreville and the others. The city occupies \u00cele J\u00e9sus, between the Rivi\u00e8re des Mille \u00celes to the north and west and the Rivi\u00e8re des Prairies to the south and east. The island has been permanently settled since the 17th century, and since the 1960s it has turned into a vast, mostly residential suburb (438,366 residents in the 2021 census). The age of a foundation drain therefore varies a lot from one neighbourhood to the next, but the basic rule remains CAA-Qu\u00e9bec\u2019s: about 40 years of normal lifespan.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]In Laval, it is not only the drain that matters: the City\u2019s rules also cover backwater valves, the stormwater retention pit, the pump and, for the contractor, the excavation permit. The four checks below come from City of Laval documents (in French). To judge a crack before excavating, read When Is a Foundation Crack Serious in Quebec?<\/a><\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]Marco R\u00e9paration de Fondation covers every step, from estimate to job site: diagnosis of the crack or drain, polyurethane or epoxy injection, French drain replacement, interior drain, waterproofing membranes and exterior excavation. Marco comes to assess every job himself (RBQ license No. 5775-3246-01). To understand the effect of soil, read Soil Type and Your Foundation: Why Clay Matters in Quebec<\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”48″ element_id=”mr-reg” css=”.vc_custom_1760000101{padding-top: 72px !important;padding-bottom: 72px !important;background-color: #f5f5f5 !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-12 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12″]

4 checks before excavating or replacing a French drain in Laval<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]These checks come from the City of Laval\u2019s leaflet on backwater valves and sewer connections<\/a> (water management department, bylaw L-11870, March 2025, in French) and its excavation permit application form<\/a> (in French). They do not replace the bylaws: confirm your case with the City (311).<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]\n
