For builders, we can also install French drains around the foundations of newly constructed properties.

French drain installation and replacement

Newly built homes and commercial buildings must be equipped with French drains around their foundations. This system pumps rainwater and groundwater that accumulates near the foundation and redirects it through pipes away from the building toward the storm sewer system. This protects the concrete foundation from water pressure that can lead to cracks and water infiltration.

French drain installation must be carried out by experienced professionals. Excavating near foundations is a delicate operation that requires significant expertise and careful preparation. Info-Excavation must first be contacted to identify underground infrastructure such as gas, electrical, watermain, sewer and cable lines.

Our team first excavates a trench around the foundation down to the footing. We then install the drain near the footing on a 5-inch bed of gravel while creating the proper slope to direct water toward the storm sewer system. The pipes are then covered with crushed stone and protected with a geotextile membrane. Finally, the system is covered with soil and sod is installed.

French drain inspection, unclogging and foundation drain repair in Rosemont

If your home, apartment building or commercial property is equipped with French drains and one of them no longer seems to function properly, call us for an inspection. If rainwater accumulates around your foundation or your basement feels more humid or shows signs of mold on the walls, your drain is likely clogged or defective.
To locate the problem, we use a camera inserted directly into the pipes. This allows us to determine whether debris is blocking the system, if a pipe is broken or if the drain has collapsed. Our team can then excavate and clean the pipe to unclog it, replace a damaged section or reposition the drain with the proper slope.

Sewer systems

When a sewer drain starts acting up, it’s best not to ignore it. Many people assume it’s only a small blockage and nothing serious.
But this type of issue can quickly become a major problem: wastewater may back up, unpleasant odors may appear and water may drain more and more slowly.
In many cases, tree roots eventually infiltrate the pipes. In other situations, inappropriate objects may have been flushed down the toilet.
In simpler cases, a proper unclogging may solve the issue using a manual auger or a high-pressure water jet. However, sometimes the pipes are simply too deteriorated — rusted, cracked or even improperly installed from the start. In those cases, replacement is necessary or the problem will keep returning and worsen over time.
Sometimes, the issue is not only with the pipes themselves. Soil settlement can alter the natural drainage slope, preventing water from flowing correctly. The system must then be repositioned to restore proper operation.
At MAXIUM EXCAVATION, we always begin with a camera inspection to clearly identify what is happening underground: broken pipes, roots, weakened sections, blockages and more. Everything is thoroughly inspected.
If a partial or complete replacement is required, we handle every step: excavation, connection to the municipal line, installation of a backwater valve when necessary, unclogging, crack repairs and more.
And of course, once the work is completed, the soil is restored and grass or sod is installed so your property regains its clean appearance.

Watermain and water service lines

A damaged water service line or watermain pipe can cause many issues, including low water pressure, leaks and even contamination.

A camera inspection is first performed, after which the damaged pipe is repaired. If the pipe is clogged, we use proven methods to unclog it, often without the need for excavation.

In many cases, the pipes are simply too old, sometimes still made of lead and replacement becomes essential. We remove the old pipes, install a shutoff valve and connect the system to the water meter.

The work generally involves excavating a trench to the main line and installing a new pipe, usually made of copper or high-quality plastic piping.

Once the work is completed, the property is carefully restored.
