Drainage Solutions in Pointe-Claire
Looking for drainage solutions in Pointe-Claire? Control water at the source, not just after the damage starts. We serve Pointe-Claire and the surrounding West Island with proper groundwork and clean execution.
Water is one of the main causes of failure in outdoor installations. At Construction OEM, we design and implement drainage solutions that help control water flow across the property, protect paved surfaces, and reduce long-term damage to surrounding structures.
How we approach drainage solutions in Pointe-Claire
- 1
1. Water Flow Assessment and Problem Identification
We begin by analyzing how water moves across the property, not just where it collects. This includes reviewing slope direction, low points, discharge areas, soil conditions, and how water interacts with pavers, walkways, retaining walls, and surrounding structures.

2. Drainage Strategy and System Design
Based on site conditions, we build a drainage plan tailored to the property. This includes deciding where water should be captured, how it should be redirected, and which combination of grading, drains, or downspout adjustments will best control the problem.

3. Excavation, Grading, and Preparation
Targeted excavation is completed where needed to install drainage components at the right depth and elevation. We also adjust grading so water is encouraged to move naturally toward the intended drainage path instead of pooling in weak areas.

4. Installation of Drainage Components
Drainage elements such as channel drains, surface systems, and downspout redirection are installed to capture and move water effectively. Each component is positioned to support reliable flow and reduce the chance of future buildup or washout.

5. Integration and Final Review

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is drainage important for pavers?
Without proper drainage, water can work its way into the base underneath the pavers. Over time, that weakens the foundation and can lead to sinking, shifting, and uneven areas. In Quebec conditions, freeze-thaw cycles often make the problem worse by expanding trapped moisture.
Can drainage fix sinking pavers?
Yes, if water is part of the cause. When water buildup weakens or washes out the base, correcting drainage is often a key part of the solution. In many cases, that work is paired with rebuilding and compacting the affected section properly.
What are channel drains?
Channel drains are linear drainage systems installed within paved surfaces to capture and redirect water before it can collect. They are often used in driveways, patios, and other low points where water repeatedly builds up.
Can you redirect gutter water?
Yes. Downspouts are one of the most common sources of concentrated water flow. If they discharge too close to paved surfaces, they can contribute to erosion, washout, and base failure. Redirecting or extending them is often part of solving the larger problem.
