A client from Verdun had moisture problems in his Crawl Space. He noticed that some of the joists of his house were sagging slightly, making the floors of his house no longer level.
Our technicians led by foreman Eugene Alexeenco then proceeded to install a CleanSpace membrane, a SmartSump pump system, and two SmartJack support pillars. They also applied the Mold-X Neutralizer to areas affected by mold.
Mr. Karim is now reassured that the humidity which caused issues in her Crawlspace is a thing of the past!
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.
