Before & After Photos

Problem

The foundation of Mr. Gubic's house seems to be crumbling. Several exterior and interior cracks on the walls are apparent.

Solution

To solve a foundation subsidence problem, our experts install hydraulic piles under the foundations. They will support and strengthen the foundation and possibly straighten it back to its original position.

Before, our team encountered a house in Saint-Marc-sur-Richelieu grappling with partial settlement and distressing cracks in the basement, clearly depicted in the before photo. Recognizing the urgency, Systèmes Sous-sol Québec stepped in with a permanent and reliable fix. We installed Push Pier systems, expertly designed to address these very issues. The after photo proudly showcases a stabilized and secure foundation, marking another successful transformation. This project is a testament to our commitment to delivering both an impeccable customer experience and undeniable results. It's what we stand for – safeguarding your home for the long haul.

Dealing with foundation damage is not easy, and will get worse with time.

Some signs of foundation settlement such as cracks in foundation walls, diagonal cracks along upstairs walls, spacing between foundation walls and floor, can give you some clues about having this issue.

When we saw some of those clues in this house in Otterburn Park, we made sure to install the proper products for a fast and less costly solution!

So we have used 3 Push Piers that has leveled the foundation.

As the foundation is raised and leveled, gaps and cracking can disappear as well as all the other symptoms associated with foundation settling.

Wall cracks are very common in concrete foundation walls. To solve the problem, you need a solution that can adapt to future wall movements, because products that become rigid will crack again or lose their adhesion to concrete. This process will start again as long as the problem is not resolved with the right solution. The FlexiSpan solution seals the crack and provides a second repair strategy in the event that the sealant fails. FlexiSpan Sealant is a rubber-like liquid that allows the material to adapt to the movement of the crack. It is flexible and will not peel off concrete. It blocks water permanently.

One of our customers in Sorel-Tracy contacted us to do a foundation repair work at his home. Indeed, its foundation walls were bending, which is often a sign of failure that can be caused by various geotechnical and structural factors. To solve this problem, we installed the PowerBrace galvanized steel beams. 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. The PowerBrace Adjustment System is patented, which proves that it can actually improve the condition of the wall in the long run. Zinc coated, the PowerBrace system resists erosion, reduces abrasion and makes beams non-toxic. Their defined appearance and the galvanized steel covering make the beams less unpleasant to the eye because they will not be attacked by rust. Our system is installed by professionals who will ensure that the connections are made correctly and that the joint reinforcement system distributes the load equitably I a way not to damage your floor! Our patented system stands out from the others and we are very happy to have had the chance to install it at our customer’s place to solve his problem once and for all!
