A safe excavation expert in Le Plateau

Theexcavation work represents a sensitive operation whose completion must be entrusted to a professional. Indeed, the handling of the mechanical shovel requires a delicacy that only a qualified person can perform safely.

As mundane as it may seem, this operation is quite complex and dangerous because of the accidents that could occur. At VOPAA Inc.,the experience we have gained in 20 years of service allows us to offer a secure service.

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 accumulation of water at the base of the foundation of your building weakens the holding of the building over time. To avoid it, VOPAA Inc. offers you theinstallation of a water drainage system guaranteed by the installation of French drains.

The goal is to preserve and clean the walls of your foundations, we select quality materials to ensure the delivery of high-end work. In this regard, specialists ensure that the building code is respected and that the latest standards are applied to bring materials into compliance.

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.

Questions sur la réparation de fondation à Gatineau

Faut-il quitter les lieux durant les travaux?

Non il n’est pas nécessaire de quitter lors des travaux. Bien qu’il soit possible qu’une tranchée profonde surlonge tout le périmètre de votre maison durant les réparations, nous avons des installations sécuritaires pour que vous puissiez rester à la maison. Des rampes d’accès sont installées afin de permettre au client d’entrer et sortir à leur guise.

Peut-on baisser le taux d’humidité dans un sous-sol en réparant la fondation?

L’imperméabilisation et la pose d’un drain français protègent en effet votre sous-sol de l’humidité. Si la ou une des sources d’humidité  provient d’une faille de votre mur de fondation, la réparer va contribuer à régler le problème.

Les membranes installées par VOPAA inc. ont des propriétés imperméables et pare-vapeur afin de garder un sous-sol bien au sec. Sachez qu’un taux élevé d’humidité contribue à la formation de moisissure qui peut causer des problèmes de santé importants.

 

Vous pouvez toujours vérifier d’autres éléments tels que la plomberie et les fenêtres qui peuvent également représenter la cause d’une forte présence d’humidité dans l’air.
