French drain installation and repair in Brossard

Our French drain inspection and foundation drain repair services are offered at affordable prices.

MAXIUM EXCAVATION provides French drain installation and foundation drain repair services in Brossard and the surrounding areas. Located at the base of the foundation, a French drain redirects rainwater using a pump and channels it toward the municipal storm sewer or sanitary sewer system. This helps prevent foundation cracks caused by water pressure and prevents water infiltration in the basement.

What prevents your French drain from working properly?

The following issues can prevent your French drain from functioning correctly: soil movement lifting the pipes, roots compressing or breaking the pipes, as well as iron ochre or clay clogging the drainage system.

What are the signs that your French drain is defective?

When you notice moisture stains or mold at the bottom of basement walls or on the basement floor, it usually means there is water infiltration and that the French drain is no longer functioning properly. White efflorescence stains (mineral deposits) are also a sign that water has dried on the concrete surface. Puddles of water near the foundation are another indication of a defective French drain. The technicians at MAXIUM EXCAVATION can inspect your pipes with a camera and then repair or replace your French drain in Brossard.

Sewer and water service repair

“Water service lines” is a term that refers to potable water entry lines as well as sanitary and storm sewer pipes. Our team provides sewer and water service repair services for all three types of piping systems in residential, commercial and institutional settings.

If your toilets frequently clog, your basement drain produces strong odors or overflows, water accumulates around your foundation, or you notice a significant drop in water pressure, repairs are likely needed. The same applies if your bathtub drains very slowly or if you notice rust or lead in your water.

Our team can identify problems related to malfunctioning pipes, including blockages, soil settlement crushing the pipes, root intrusion and more. We then repair or replace defective pipes while respecting municipal regulations and Building Code standards.

We also connect water service lines to the municipal network.

Sewer or watermain problems?

Have you noticed a basement backup, an unexplained water leak or signs that your pipes are no longer in good condition? Even a clogged pipe or unpleasant odor is a problem that will not fix itself.

At MAXIUM EXCAVATION, we respond quickly to diagnose and repair sewer and watermain pipe issues, including water service lines, regardless of the type of building.

Whether it’s a house, apartment building or commercial property, our team has the equipment and expertise to perform the work properly, according to regulations and with attention to detail.

Every situation is different

Pipe failures are common in homes that are more than 40 years old. This is not surprising, as freeze-thaw cycles, corrosion and root intrusion can all weaken even well-built systems over time.

And if your pipes are still made of lead, it becomes not only a plumbing issue, but also a health concern, since lead in drinking water is highly harmful to human health.

Check the water pipe at its entry point into the building. If the metal is very dark gray and soft enough to be easily scratched or cut, it is likely made of lead.

Camera inspection

We begin with a camera inspection. It’s fast, non-invasive and does not require excavation, allowing us to see exactly what is happening inside the pipes. Our technician will then clearly explain your options, whether it involves unclogging the line, repairing a section or replacing the pipes entirely.

You will receive a free estimate so you can decide which work you would like to proceed with.

Work partially covered by insurance

If your issue is caused by an insured event such as a sewer backup or water infiltration resulting from a damaged water service line, we can work directly with your insurance company.

We provide the required evaluations and ensure that all work is completed according to industry standards. With insurance claims, you have the right to choose your contractor — something many people are unaware of.

During sewer or watermain pipe repair or replacement projects, our team handles the excavation, pipe replacement, coordination with the city for the water shutoff valve, backfilling and even site restoration. A true turnkey service.

Renovating? This is the perfect time to inspect your pipes

Before investing in a kitchen renovation or basement finishing project, take the time to ensure your pipes are in good condition. A damaged pipe can compromise the entire project.
