Before & After Photos

The problem

The foundation walls of Mr. Meilleur's house are cracked, arched, and sloped severely inward by almost 4 ”.

 The solution

 - Stop the movement by keeping the wall in place and allow it to recover over time.

To do this, our experts installed our GeoLock wall anchoring system. They are embedded in the stable soil away from the foundation wall and then attached to steel wall plates with long galvanized rods. When tightened, the anchors hold the wall in its current position. Over time, the anchors can be tightened to straighten the wall.

Mr. Meilleur can have the peace of mind because his walls are well held in place and can be straightened over time.

B&A

Problems

- Humidity in the crawl space

- Rotting and weakening of wooden beams and pillars in the crawl space

- Floor sagging on one side

Solutions

- Encapsulation of the crawl space with our CleanSpace coating.

Our coating acts as a vapor barrier, it is very resistant and blocks moisture from the earth floor.

- Installation of SmartJack pillars and galvanized steel beams

Our SmartJacks and beams will reinforce and stabilize the structure of the house. We can also tighten them over time to slightly straighten the sagging floor.

A homeowner was experiencing a crack in their foundation wall, creating a potential entry point for water infiltration and basement moisture. To address the issue, Systèmes Sous-Sol Québec repaired the crack using the FlexiSpan® system, which combines a flexible polyurethane sealant with a drainage layer designed to redirect potential water seepage toward the drainage system. This solution accommodates the natural movement of the foundation wall while helping prevent water from entering the basement through the repaired crack. The result is a targeted foundation crack repair that improves basement waterproofing and helps protect the home against recurring water infiltration.

This house in Hampstead was suffering from foundations failing. When you notice cracks in the foundation, do not ignore it for those are signs that ground movement is happening.

This actually affects the stability of your home and it is important to fix this problem before it gets worse.

We have stabilized this house by installing 12 PushPiers recessed piles and a perimeter of SilverGlo insulation panels.

Our SilverGlo insulation panels are inorganic and contain graphite particles that reflect heat to protect the home.

We have repaired our client’s crawl space in Saint-Esprit after our client noticed his house floor was sagging.

Furthermore, we have installed our company's SmartJack support pillars which are support systems made of steel used to stabilize and level the girders and floor joists in a crawlspace.

The SmartJack support pillar is the best system to lift above floors and walls back to their original position.
