Before & After Photos

Having discovered our company on Facebook, this customer living in Saint-Lambert area contacted us to tell us about his concerns about humidity and support system in his crawl space. Indeed, the air in the area was very heavy and cold. In addition, the support pillars were not strong enough because they did not support the floor of the upper floor properly, which caused it to sag. These problems are very dangerous for the health of the home and the safety of the family living there.

For example, we sent one of our specialists who recommended the installation of the following products: SilverGlo insulation panels, 12 SmartJack support pillars, WaterGuard interior foundation drain, SuperSump sump pump system, freeze protection IceGuard Discharge Line, LawnScape Discharge Line Discharge Mouth.

With these products, the water can no longer infiltrate the crawl space and affect the air by releasing water vapor, because the water is intercepted by the internal drain and discharged by the sump pump. The water vapor is blocked by the SilverGlo insulation and the crawl space roof is now more than solid thanks to the SmartJacks

Brick blocks and columns do not provide effective and permanent support for the crawl space, as they will move according to the weak ground motions.

So we must put pillars that support the house on stronger soil.

We have stabilized this crawl space in Longueuil by adapting one of our simple solutions from which SmartJack pillars and galvanized steel PowerBrace beams that will lift the foundation to their original position immediately.

Wall cracks and changes in the operation of doors and windows, may point that your foundation is sinking and settling.

Our client was constantly trying to repair and remedy these symptoms without knowing that there was a permanent solution for all those problems, until he found our company and called us for a free inspection!

Following his call, our team of professionals has installed 10 SmartJack support pillars in order to stabilize this house in Saint-Hubert.

The SmartJack support pillars are steel support systems used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawl space. In addition they are super strong and are the only solution that addresses soil’s problems.

Problem

Due to soil pressure on the foundation walls, one of Mr. Bradette's foundation walls tilted inward about 1-2 ”. He contacted Systèmes Sous-sol Québec in order to straighten his wall and thus prevent his wall from collapsing.

Solution

To solve this problem, our experts installed our PowerBrace beams. They strengthen the problematic wall and allow it to be straightened over time so that the wall can return to its original position.

With this solution, Mr. Bradette can have peace of mind.

Polyurethane injection is one of the best ways to repair a crack in your foundation, without having to dig up the foundation wall.

Our team has injected the polyurethane in this basement in Pointe-Aux-Trembles in order to prevent the infiltration of water.

The chemical expansion of the polyurethane (typically 5-10 times its original volume) makes polyurethane very effective at filling voids within the concrete; these voids are typically invisible when you look at the wall and are often associated with the porosity of the concrete.
