Water in your basement or damp stains on the walls? Travaux Experts replaces or repairs your French drain, outside or inside, with waterproofing membranes and camera inspections.
Home » French drains
We excavate around the foundation and install a new drain, membrane and free-draining backfill.
When exterior access is difficult, we install a drain beneath the basement slab, connected to a sump pit.
We clean drains clogged by mud or iron ochre to extend their service life.
First, we inspect your French drain with a camera to check whether it is blocked, crushed or contaminated with iron ochre. This determines whether cleaning is enough or replacement is needed. We also check foundation cracks and the ground slope, in accordance with the Québec Construction Code. We therefore address the cause of the leak, not just the symptom.
First, we film the inside of the drain to make an accurate assessment.
Next, we recommend the best solution: cleaning, repair or complete replacement.
Then we excavate, repair cracks and install a membrane on the foundation.
Finally, we install the new drain, gravel and backfill, then restore the property.
A damp basement loses significant value and encourages mould growth. Buyers and inspectors always check the drain’s condition. This work protects your health, basement and home’s value.

I would like to thank the entire Travaux Experts team for their great work. They completed several projects during the 2022 season: repairing 150 linear feet of water line, rebuilding 600 square feet of paving, replacing 200 linear feet of fencing and resurfacing 1,200 square feet of asphalt. It was quite a big project… A turnkey solution. Impeccable!
