A Silent Enemy for Your Building

In Montreal, each season brings its own set of challenges for our building envelopes. From heavy spring rains to melting snow, water is constantly seeking to infiltrate, silently threatening the integrity of your property. Untreated water infiltration is never a minor issue. It can quickly lead to structural damage, poor indoor air quality due to mold, and a decline in your property value. Acting quickly is not an option; it’s a necessity.
 
At CAM Construction, we understand the urgency and complexity of these situations. For over 30 years, our specialized teams have been working in boroughs like Le Plateau-Mont-Royal, Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Hochelaga, Ville-Marie, and Villeray to diagnose and apply water infiltration repair solutions that are not only effective but, most importantly, durable. Our mission is to protect your building from the onslaught of water and restore your complete peace of mind.

Identifying the Source: The Three Entry Points of Infiltration

Understanding the origin of an infiltration is the first step toward an effective solution. Water is persistent and can come from several weak points in your building’s envelope. Our experience has taught us to methodically investigate three critical areas that are particularly vulnerable to Montreal’s weather conditions.
 
The roof is your building’s first line of defense. Damaged shingles, aging flashing joints, or inadequate drainage can create breaches through which water seeps, often invisibly until stains appear on the ceilings. Exterior walls and foundations are also common entry points. Cracks in the masonry, porous mortar joints, or poor foundation waterproofing allow ground moisture and rainwater to penetrate, causing basement humidity problems and structural damage. Finally, the area around doors and windows, if the caulking is failing or if the initial installation was poorly done, provides a direct path for water and drafts.

Our Two-Step Approach: Diagnosis and Repair

A successful water infiltration repair is not just about plugging a leak. It requires a rigorous methodology to ensure that the problem is solved at its source and will not recur.

Precise and Non-Invasive Diagnosis

Our intervention always begins with a thorough inspection to locate the most logical source of the infiltration. Our experts use advanced diagnostic techniques to identify water entry points while causing the least amount of unnecessary damage to your property. This analysis allows us to understand the exact cause of the problem, whether it's a construction defect, normal wear and tear of materials, or a lack of maintenance, in order to propose a perfectly targeted repair strategy.

Durable Repair with Quality Materials

Once the diagnosis is made, our qualified teams proceed with the repair using the best techniques and materials adapted to the architectural style and constraints of your building. Whether it's re-waterproofing a foundation, replacing flashing or membranes, repairing masonry, or performing expert caulking, we ensure that every intervention meets the strictest building standards for maximum protection and a flawless finish.

Beyond Repair: Our Complementary Services

Often, water infiltration is a symptom of a larger problem related to the overall waterproofing of the building envelope. To offer a truly complete solution, CAM Construction offers a range of complementary services that address the root causes of infiltration and strengthen the protection of your property.
 
We are experts in the installation and repair of flashing and roof parapets, crucial elements for ensuring a watertight transition between the different materials of your roof and walls. An intervention on these elements can often solve recurring infiltration problems that others have failed to diagnose.

FAQ

We have gathered here the most frequent questions from our clients to help you better understand the issues related to water infiltration. If your question is not here, do not hesitate to call us directly

How can I tell if my building has a water infiltration problem?

The most common signs include damp spots, peeling paint, musty odors, water stains on ceilings, or a persistent feeling of humidity, especially in the basement. Cracks on the exterior walls are also an important clue.

Even a small leak can cause major damage over time. Water can rot the wooden frame, damage the insulation, cause the rusting of metal reinforcements, and above all, create an environment conducive to the development of toxic mold that is harmful to health.

The duration depends entirely on the extent and complexity of the problem. A simple caulking repair can take a few hours, while a foundation intervention can take several days. After our initial diagnosis, we will provide you with a clear and detailed timeline.
