A South Shore city in the MRC de Roussillon, Saint-Constant has over 30,000 residents and a housing stock composed mainly of 1960-1990 bungalows and cottages, supplemented by recent residential developments and preserved rural sectors. Clay soil, pyrite and water table are specifics to watch during inspection.
Saint-Constant's housing stock was built in several waves — 1960-1980 bungalows and cottages in established sectors, family residential developments from the 1990s-2010s, and new neighbourhoods under construction since 2010. The preserved semi-rural character adds sectors with septic systems and artesian wells.
Saint-Constant sits on Champlain Sea clay deposits combined with glacial tills. This composition makes foundations sensitive to differential settlement, summer shrinkage and seasonal swelling. Pyrite under concrete slabs is also a documented issue for homes built between 1970 and 1995.
Inspections we carry out in Saint-Constant reveal a set of findings tied to the varied age of the housing stock (1960-2025) and the geological specifics of the territory — sensitive clay, documented pyrite, preserved rural sectors.
