Eleven communities, rules to check before you dig<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]The West Island is made up of nine reconstituted municipalities (Dorval, L\u2019\u00cele-Dorval, Pointe-Claire, Kirkland, Beaconsfield, Baie-D\u2019Urf\u00e9, Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, Senneville and Dollard-des-Ormeaux) and two Montr\u00e9al boroughs (Pierrefonds-Roxboro and L\u2019\u00cele-Bizard-Sainte-Genevi\u00e8ve), for about 239,000 residents in the 2021 census. Merged into Montr\u00e9al in 2002, the former cities were reconstituted on January 1, 2006: the municipalities manage their own permits, while the two boroughs follow the City of Montr\u00e9al.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]Water is everywhere. Lake Saint-Louis borders Dorval, Pointe-Claire and Beaconsfield, while the Rivi\u00e8re des Prairies and the Lake of Two Mountains border the northern municipalities. According to the Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough, homes affected in 2017 and 2019 by the river, the water table or the basement should consider themselves in a flood zone, and it advises having submersible pumps and backwater valves. A French drain in good shape is part of the answer: read how snowmelt and spring flooding affect your basement foundation<\/a>.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]Marco works across the West Island of Montr\u00e9al on foundation excavation, interior or exterior French drains, waterproofing and crack repair, including in tight spaces, with the right equipment.

Before you dig in the West Island: three checkpoints<\/span><\/span><\/h2><\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]Here are three checkpoints, with their official sources (in French unless noted): Pointe-Claire\u2019s document on private services<\/a>, Montr\u00e9al\u2019s page on the excavation permit<\/a> and the borough\u2019s page on the spring flood in Pierrefonds-Roxboro<\/a>. The other municipalities have their own planning department. This information does not replace the bylaws: confirm your case with your City.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]<\/span>[vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]\n
