SmartJacks supports are the best solution to stabilize crawl spaces. These are galvanized steel support devices that solve the problem of joists and posts that are sagging and weakening.
SmartJacks supports effectively spread the weight of the house on the competent ground. So we installed this solution with our Verdun customers who had floor problems.
The SmartJack system is adjustable, so you can tighten it periodically to bring the floor above the crawl space to its original level to eliminate twists and adjust the leveling of the floor.
Our customer a resident of Montreal bought his house several years ago and everything seemed great until his basement had problems of water infiltration and constant humidity. The owner had every intention of finishing the basement in order to benefit from all the space, but it was impossible with a basement that is not dry.
Our specialist recommended a complete drainage system to protect her entire basement, all the time!
To finish the basement without waterproofing it would have been a bad idea since the risk would have always been present and the water would have infiltrated again and ruined the place.
Those are the reasons why we recommend Mrs. Vanessa who lives in Anjou, to do waterproofing work in her new house that was having water seepage through the floor joists under the stairs, into a cold room and the nearby corridor
At the start, we installed the WaterGuard drain under the perimeter of the affected regions. This drain is specially designed to drain the water flowing from the walls, the wall-to-floor, and under-floor joints and redirects it to the pump.
And then we installed The TripleSafe sump pump which is the most efficient pump on the market with 3 existing pumps for more safety.
Finally, we completed this system by installing the IceGuard accessories and LawnScape. The first allows the water to drain even if the pipe freezes in winter and the second lets the water out of the foundation by hiding itself in the grass.
Mr. Lepage had just bought his house and he quickly discovered hidden defects. At the walls, interior and exterior, there were several cracks on the foundation, around the basement window, on the brick wall.
The client contacted us and our customer service team made an appointment with one of our foundation experts.
John, our specialist, completed his full assessment of almost 2 hours. He immediately saw that the client's concerns were realistic and that the foundation had to be stabilized. The sagging foundation causes negative effects on the rest of the house, so waiting will only make matters worse. The suggested solution was the installation of 3 PushPiers screw piles, ensuring a permanent solution to stabilize the foundation. We are delighted to have solved the problem of this customer, in Sainte-Catherine, Qc.
Our client who owns a house in Saint-Michel-Des-Saints knew that the high level of moisture in his basement was bad for his house health, since it will move upstairs, allowing all the mold and bacteria to spread as well.
So he contacted our company, shared with us his worries and asked for our quote.
Once he agreed on our proposal, we waterproofed his place by installing our SuperSump pump system and an Interior drainage system’ the WaterGuard’
Once connected, these two products form a highly efficient drainage system that intercepts water from the floor of the basement at the foundation and redirects it away from the foundation of the house.
