Before & After Photos

Mr. Walls from Ivry-Sur-Le-Lac contacted us to stabilize his foundation wall, which was starting to weaken.

We have solved this solution with our Supportworks' patented PowerBrace system which is specifically designed to stabilize foundation walls with zinc-plated steel beams that adapt to your wall height and floor joists.

Our client from Mercier had cracks in her foundation. He also noticed slopping in some of his first level floor, which is due to an underlying problem in his crawl space.

Our technicians led by foreman Jerry have then installed 7 SmartJack support pillars.

The SmartJack is a support beam designed by engineers that adjusts to the exact height between the solid base and the support beam at the top.

Settlement is the movement your home suffers when the soil below can no longer support the weight of your home due to many reasons such as drought, maturing trees and else.

At Systèmes Sous-sol Québec, we have the solutions for foundation settlement.

In this place in Kirkland, we have stabilized a failed foundation by installing 9 support piles.

Support pillars are the best option when earth conditions are unknown. They make it possible to raise the foundation towards its initial position, to minimize the disturbances during the installation which is done quickly, and that solves the problem once and for all.

When you see a crack on your foundation, it may be a sign that the foundation wall is moving. When there is movement at ground level, there is a risk of subsidence that can harm your home.

The best solution is to install a permanent solution as we did in this job in Kirkland.

The PushPier pillar is a patented product and it features an outer sleeve that reinforces the pillar device directly under the support which is the most critical place.

It strengthens this area and prevents twisting, distortion, and rotation that is commonly observed in other support pillar devices.

Problem

Mr. Lincourt wanted to have the block foundation walls of a house he needed to buy inspected, as one of the walls were sloping inward into the basement and some blocks were also pushed inward due to external ground pressure.

Solution

In order to stabilize and reinforce problematic walls, our team of experts installed our galvanized steel PowerBrace beams on the foundation walls. Attached to the floor and joists, the walls got stabilized. There is a clamping device on the PowerBraces to tighten them and slightly straighten the walls over time in order to return them to their original position.
