Indeed, we make every effort to respect the rules applicable to trenching to ensure the safety of users. For the repair of foundations via excavation, certain steps are essential.
The steps of the excavation
Before excavating a trench 6 feet deep by 4 feet wide to repair a foundation, it will be necessary to locate the underground infrastructurefirst. The company is supported in its approach by info excavation which is responsible for providing details on the installations present underground.
This will avoid having to bear the high cost of fines imposed on those responsible for a breach. Next, it will be a question of preparing the necessary space for the operation by freeing up the space of objects and structures around the building, and finally to excavate the construction site. The know-how of our team allows you to always live in your house thinking for the duration of the operation.
A specialist in the installation of French Drain

The efficiency of the system is obtained by nesting different 3 m pipes with perforations 10 cm in diameter. This network of pipes is then placed along the foundation to capture the infiltration water.
Also, we use our perfect knowledge of the terrain in Le Plateau to level the support base of the French drain. This strategyoptimizes the efficiency of the drainage system for good conduct and flow of water out of foundations.
A proven earthmoving technician
If you want your coating to last as long as possible, earthworks are an undeniable alternative. While ensuring an automatic flow of stormwater, earthmoving enhances the appearance of your facilities.
Ideally, it should be done before the installation of solid pavement or asphalt. The aim will be to level the soil so that a positive slope can then flow out of the foundation. For this operation, we use our mechanical shovel specialist whose control of the ground guarantees a careful shaping of the soil.
The use of the latter is due to the desire of VOPAA Inc. to provide quality on all its work. After the shovel passes, an embankment will allow you to get the desired slope as appropriate.
Ensure foundation sealing and waterproofing
Water infiltration and moisture can easily beat foundation walls at least 6 inches thick. This is due in part to the appearance of cracks in the concrete, which greatly alters the waterproofing of the walls at the base of the foundation.
Therefore, you must waterproof your foundation by using an elastomer and honeycomb membrane that remains the best solution for the time being. To effectively ensure resistance to large hydrostatic pressures, the membrane must be elastic and robust.
The elastic ownership of elastomer membranes proposed by VOPAA Inc. optimal enough to provide resistance in winter weather. By adding a Blueskin membrane, we ensure the robustness of your waterproofing so that it can withstand the strong pressures of embankment rocks.
The steps of the foundation’s sealing
Waterproofingthe walls of your foundation is an operation to be carried out in 5 major steps. The work begins with a preparation of the surface to be sealed and an application of the primer.
Then we apply the membrane on the seal, then another on the wall and seal. Finally, a bitumen sealant will be applied to the various joints of the membrane.
