Straightening of a foundation in Cheneville, Qc
Mr. Billy has lived in his house near the lake since 1960. Over the years, he had noticed cracks in the walls, but didn't dwell on them too much. There was a crack near a doorframe up to the ceiling, a crack that was on the corner of an exterior wall that widened to be half an inch wide, and then a wall had started to curl. All these signs alarmed him and this is why he contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec for a free inspection.
When our specialist arrived on site, with the owner's information, he knew there was a problem with the foundation and if the homeowner does not fix the situation, the walls could sag and the damage to the house would be enormous.
The solution that was offered to Billy by our experts was the insertion of support pillars in the floor of the interior of the house.
The support pillars we used are made of steel and are driven deep into the ground to reach rocky ground or other stable layer of soil. This will straighten the house to its original position and then stabilize it permanently.

Our customer’s foundation in Lachute was curving, which is a serious problem and sign of failure in the basement foundation walls.
We have solved this problem, by installing PowerBrace galvanized steel beams and several smartJacks.
The beams form a system designed specifically to support the walls of failed foundations and to straighten the walls to their original position over time. Zinc coated, the PowerBrace system resists erosion, reduces abrasion and makes beams non-toxic
